Hey All,

I would like to know what Protein diet you all use? I have found a book "The Protein Power" and I am not sure if this is what I am supposed to be doing or what.. I would like to know if there is a protein diet book you have and love or a protein diet plan you have found that works? I do not meet with my dietician until July (currently in month 5 of 6 doctor diet). For my doctor supervised diet I have been just counting calories, but I would like to switch over to a protein diet since that is what my surgeon wants me to do.

Thanks!

(Sorry if I posted in wrong area I tried to find where it needed to go)

I started my 12 day pre-op Protein shakes 2 days ago,,,,,,,,,I spent quite alot of time researching them all........ I am using Super Advanced 100% Protein Isolate, chocolate flavor,,,,,,,1 scoop has30g of protein and less than 3g of carbs........even the calorie count is good at 120.........The taste is very good,,,,,no powder after taste,,,,,,,,the very best part is it is under $20.00 at Walmart...............The comperable powders were way to expensive......... for my budget :)

I'm sorry I meant like a High Protein Low carb diet not the liquid diet.. my surgeon doesn't require the Liquid Protein diet until 7 days before surgery. Thank goodness for that! I would lose my mind if I had to do it for 2-4 weeks like some I have seen. But I will keep that in mind!

      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.
