Lifelong.

And 60 mg. Protein is not "high."

Neither is the Fluid requirement of 64 ounces "high."

That's just a healthy nutritional recommendation.

Once again -- it's only hard to get down early on. It won't be hard later on as you continue to heal.

You will eventually want to come off the Protein shakes so that you are getting your Protein from solid foods that produce satiety and fend off hunger. Once you can have mushy or solid, you should emphasize those sources of protein, and only use the shakes if you are not getting enough or need to restart weight loss after a stall. The liquid Protein is a proven stall-buster.

The other thing that is lifelong is the separation of Water and solid food. The game is to get all your Water despite the fact that you can't drink it with your meals.

Yes, it's lifelong. To be healthy you need enough Protein and Water daily because our bodies don't store Protein and always need to replenish Water.< /p>

I don't know about you, but looking back, I think a major reason I was obese was because I was starved for both protein and water.

I use MyFitnessPal. Just about everything you can think of is already listed. If not, you can usually find something similar. It really isn't that hard.

      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.
