Between the oatmeal, the flatbread, and the tortilla I think it sounds like you're having a lot of carbs for one month out.

That's a lot of food I can only hold down

1 pudding

1cheese

6 oz of broth

At *1 month* out? Where's your Protein? I'm a little over 3 weeks out, I can eat 2oz portions at a time. Today I had 2oz of salmon and two 8oz Premier Protein shakes (because I was on the run all day, otherwise I would have tried to get more real food in). Yesterday I had 2oz cottage cheese for lunch and 2oz tuna for dinner with a shake for Breakfast and a smoothie for an evening snack.< /p>

For who me ?

If so I talked to my doc and nutritionist about it and I sip on Protein Water Isopure too

I was actually responding to the OP.

But, for you, keep working at it. It is so critical that you get in enough Protein.< /p>

Today I am 5 weeks out.

Breakfast: Protein Shake after workout

Lunch: Low Carb Crab Cake ( I made a recipe) they are 3oz each before being cooked

Snack: Crab cake or 2oz of Turkey

Dinner: Swai Fillet 3oz

After Dinner/Evening Walk: Protein shake

I can barely get that amount of protein in at a time. I do not eat all of it all the time.

I really think you need to drop that bread and carbs one month out, you are not getting enough protein in, and with those carbs you are going to have a hard time losing weight.

At one month out I could eat 5 oz of steak or chicken or pork with a small salad or some other veggies. I think the carbs in your deal are really high.

I don't snack - I have Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I try to have 25-30 grams of Protein for each meal minimum. Depends on what I eat.

I am 4 months out and am eating about 2.5 oz of food at a time at the most. At one month, I was doing about 1.5 oz. I do 3 meals per day, 1 Protein shake per day and 1 - 2 small Protein Snacks per day. I cut out almost all carbs though. I find that they fill you up very fast and don't give you any of the protein that you need. Focus on lean meats, cheese, nuts, and Protein Bars.

I am 2 weeks out today and seriously wondered if the doctor had even removed anything during surgery! I had absolutely no pain, no gas and it seems that I can eat/drink quite a bit. Haven't had a problem with Water either. Maybe that will slow down when I'm move to the soft foods next week?

Uh, yes! liquid goes through. When you eat something with just a little weight to it, you will be shocked!

      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.
