How do you know when you're able to eat more?

I'm almost 3 months out from my RNY and my NUT wants me to be able to eat about 3 oz. of meat and 1/2 cup of veggies at my meals.

I don't experience hunger and I have unfortunately over eaten a few times trying to force myself to meet my Protein goal.

I can usually only get in 1-2 oz. of meat (shredded chicken and those salmon packets seem to go down easiest and I can get more of those foods in) at a time and I usually don't even have room for veggies.

I get in about 60g of protein (20g from protein Water, sometimes I need more from my water though on days where I'm sick or I just can't eat a lot).

But I know I need to eat more because my calories are low. I barely crack 400 calories most days.

If your struggling to get Protein in have a shake with 30g protein in if that helps would love to eat some steamed salmon and veg ? Just gone on purée ?

While you are waiting for your sleeve to stretch out a bit, try yogurt or cottage cheese, eat 5 times a day, more liquid Proteins and veggies (V8), etc. It is really important to get your calories up to a sustainable level.

If I drank my whole bottle of Protein Water, that would give me 40g of protein. But my NUT last time I saw her told me to only try drinking half a bottle each day. She really wants me to try getting in most of my protein through food.< br>
I eat yogurt every morning for Breakfast, but that’s it. I don't know what to eat with it. I'm going to ask my NUT for suggestions when I see her next week.

I don't like the texture of cottage cheese.< br>
I usually eat 3 times a day (every 4 hours) but I think I can stretch that out to 4 for now.

I'm in the weight loss management program right now and the NUT tells us we will not meet our Protein goal till about 6 months out. She says just to eat your protein portion first. We have enough to live off of already stored around our bodies. We are also not able to drink Protein Shakes.

      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.
