dibaby-what kind of Beans do you eat?

Mostly kidney Beans I would say. I love them in turkey chili (my best band meal) and on top of a salad. I also use non-fat refried beans alot. You can make a taco and not even miss the meat.

Black beans, navy beans...eat alot of beans in Soup. I don't even know what kind really I just see beans and I know thats a good bet.

I'm kind of bad with Protein. I can't stand to count grams. I just really try and focus on high Protein foods and figure it'll work out. So far so good after 4 years. Did you know that Special K Cereal had 8 grams of protein per serving and thats before the skim milk!

What is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury?

And what about Atkins Protein shakes?, are the any good for you?

Unjury is a brand of Protein. Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage

Atkins... the protein/calorie ration is not great. I use them every now and again because they come in a can and are convenient. But I don't know about quality one way or another. I would have to look at the label and see their QA process.

      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.
