I am about 2 ½ months post op and finding it very hard to get my Protein in on the weekend. I am fine during the week because I have a desk I sit at and can constantly be looking at the clock but on the weekend, I forget to eat. Until I having someone asking me if I had eaten yet? Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, i struggle on the weekends with all the boys activities, going here and there, working around the house. I don't get all my Vitamins in on the weekend sometimes too. I just do the best i can, throw a premier shake in the cooler as i leave and buckle down and get back on track monday.

I have my Protein first thing in the morning in my coffee! I buy Iso-100 in cinnamon bun flavor add 2 scoops & enjoy. At least I know I have 48gms of protein to start my day.

Can you mix the Iso pure with almond milk ?

Does it taste good?

I was told not to drink coffee & I sure do miss it

I've mixed it with an almond milk/coconut blend. It tastes good, depending on what flavor Protein you like. I've been doing some unflavored protein in my 64oz jug of walmarts brand of crystal light. I buy cherry limeade and strawberry watermelon..... I'm totally hooked, that stuff is amazing! I'm even freezing it in Popsicle molds! I get bored easily so I have to change it up. But I must say I never tire of my protein coffee in the A.M. It's what I look forward to when I wake up. My routine is wake up, bathroom routine, weigh in, Vitamins, Water and start everyone's Breakfast while brewing my coffee. I still sit at the table with my family and don't feel as if I'm missing out on anything. Some whip cream and powdered cinnamon are common on those mornings when I need an extra something!!

      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.
