Speak to your NUT. Your team must say what's right for YOU.

I'm told to take in 100g of Protein Post Op but to try and get the protein in Now too.

I will call her first thing in the morning. But she strictly prohibited me to take in that much protein. I think my surgery date will change

I hope your surgery date doesn't change but IF it does, don't be discouraged. Just keep listening to your NUT and drink lots of Water to flush your system.

@@Capri3Js I don't think your surgery date will change with a little more Protein. It shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks so much and I hope it don't be a problem. I go to the hospital Thru so I'll know my weight then. To see if I lost hopefully I did

I wouldn't think it would matter. For my pre-op diet, the only thing my surgeon was concerned about was that I didn't have any starches or sugars. Protein and fats were not limited. As a matter of fact he encouraged us to eat a lot of protein.

Good strategy.

I don't think that getting 90 vs 70 is going to be a big problem so long as there was no other calories from sugars, starches or junk. If it was simply getting a bit more Protein due to brand changes and all other macros remained the same.....I'll bet you are fine.

Protein and water will certainly have the weight coming off.

Anyone have an idea on why even 100 grams is too much Protein? What could be the harm in "too much" Protein before surgery? I was thinking it's the building block of new tissue, so how could you have too much pre-op?

I don't know that 100 grams is necessarily "too much". My protein target is 100 grams.

We don't store protein so we need as much as our body uses. Any excess will be converted to energy and stored, and since the liver stores that energy first, maybe the surgeon is just being overly conservative about protein pre-op so that doesn't happen.

      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.
