It's so hot here & I have a hard time eating when it's hot but I do get in 2 shakes which is 60g. And my air conditioning just went out 2 days ago so I was hoping I'd sweet some off lol.

Had my 2 month post op with surgeon today. Down 51 lbs - Yay! All my blood work came back awesome. Protein was spot on, B-12, D3, Iron, Calcium, etc were all in check. He couldn't be happier. Told me my insides should be healed and that my outside entries looked excellent as you can barely tell I was even cut. I go back to NUT next week when she's probably going to raise my calories. Already getting 70-75g of protein per day staying in the 500-600 calorie range. Only thing I haven't been able to do is exercise. Going to an orthopedic doctor 7/7 to go over Xrays that were taken of my right shoulder and knee which are both killing me. Other than that I'm full of energy, in the pool most days and just loving life. I hope everyone else is doing great :)

Definitely getting at least 64oz Water daily. At least 60g Protein too. I got sick of Protein Shakes, So I add a scoop of GENEPRO to my morning yogurt, I buy the Chobani Flips, they're soo good!!

lunch is usually some type protein, sometimes as simple as cottage cheese with fruit, or chili. I sometimes buy a grilled chicken wrap from Wendy's and just scrape out the insides and eat it without the tortilla.

I also use Pure Protein, Protein Bars. Higher protein and low sugar.

I usually eat 3-4 times daily, sometimes a snack of cashews.

I wish I could have nuts, but was told not to. Keep up the great work!!

I've had nuts, but only cashews. They're more "buttery" than most nuts so when you chew them there's hardly any crunch left. I eat them with cheese to keep things soft. It's technically a "no-no" for me also but sometimes I need something small to take a headache or craving away. Sometimes I need some crunch, soft foods can get really boring.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
