Day three calories and protein



Recommended Posts

So today by 6pm l had two Celebrity 8 oz shakes spread over 8 hours. At six pm I felt hungry and had an eight oz. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shake. So in summary I have had 93 g. of Protein and 670 calories because I mix my shakes with 1% milk (100 calories per 8 oz shake).

It's been hot here today and I had 4 Poweraid 20 oz. drinks.

Summary

670 calories

93 grams of Protein

And 104 oz. of liquid counting the milk

I feel full now and do not feel like I need anything more before bed in about two hours.

Are these quantities acceptable or do I need to cut back on the 1% milk or stop the Celebrity since it contains 60 calories more than Unjury? I am three days out from surgery and almost off pain meds and starting to feel really good.

Am I exceeding a reasonable calorie limit?

I'm going to add that I feel really full now two hours after I had the last shake which I drank over one hour, much to fast. This is the first time I have felt over full since my sleeve this past Wednesday.

Guess I am learning.

Tomorrow I will do things differently.

I am on liquids. I was only on Clear Liquids the day before surgery (liquids you can see light through).

Those are awesome numbers. It's great you are able to get in so much Protein and fluids so soon. Being able to get those calories in is also very beneficial to your metabolism and energy level. And yeah, it's a learning process figuring out what it takes to feel satisfied but not too full.

Congrats!

      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.
