.for the calories the do a math.. 10 calories per 1g of protein...if i have a par it should be less then 200 calories. I HAVE NO IDEA what to reallly make and how to separate my food with my families food. can someone help me find where to get good recipes for this amount of protein and what meals i can find to make for my family when we eat together... how do i portion out what im supposed to eat and my family's food. i want to do this right so for many reasons but i really dont have anyone to help me that has been through this before having their surgery...

How far out are you?

A Protein Shake should have approximately 25 grams so two of these a day,

Snacks roughly 6-10 grams; cottage cheese, yogurt, fish, meats.< /p>

So your day could easily add to 70 grams and more

I am 6days post op and jviruet330 I feel your pain. If you are like me you are still on liquids only. I am able to get in about 2 1/2 to 3oz at a time then I have to wait at least an hour to two to drink more. I was advised yesterday to try a morning shake with double Protein. My chocolate powder is 24 protein per scoop to 8oz liquid. I was told to try 12oz of skim milk (12pro) plus 2scoops of powder (48pro) and that would give me 60pro in 12oz. I am going to try it and see how it works. Ready for pureed foods, I think it will be a little easier then. Hang in there we can do this. ????

      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.
