I don't think I'd get through it either. But if you just do chicken you might not get to the veggies. ??? Did you? I'm working on my two bites of Protein and one of veggies. So far it's good, but I think I took one bite too many tonight. Feels gross right now.

I managed to eat about 3/4 of the chicken and 2 bites of veggies lol. It was good though. I think my max capacity is 3oz for right now.

Made a recipe from a Pinterest. Wasn't paying attention and I overcooked the chicken. Tasted good but a little to dry for me. Chewed forever. Ugh.

I have been too chicken to try breast meat lol pun intended 😂

I should see how much I'm actually eating. I'm guessing 2 oz. I will try tomorrow.

I went to get my eyebrows threaded and I always go to the pretzel maker place afterwards to get a large pretzel bites with cheese dip, for my girls and I to share. Well, I can't have any, and I almost got some for my girls but decided against it. So I pick up my little one from her school and go to the store. I ask her what she'd like for a snack. Usually it's chips, cake, etc. but I quickly realized I should give her an option from the produce section so she picked strawberries with chocolate dip. I'm fine with a dip if needed, so yay for the strawberries instead of chips or Cookies.

We're going somewhere...yeah!

Oh and my exercise pants are loose around my thighs especially. Kind of weird. 😊

Hurray for the NSV @Newme17. Sometimes when you give kids healthy choices they surprise us. Kudos to your daughter. My grandson loves fruit so I try to always have some in the house.

i really need to get my eye brows done and my roots are really looking gray.

Thank you. Speaking of gray, I have several strands. But I'm wondering if I lose hair, if it's going to grow back in gray. 😕 Guess we'll see.

My hair is so thick I'm hoping no one will notice if I lose a little.

Same here. I could lose a bit and it might not even be noticeable, so I guess we're in a good position then. Lol

I managed 15 minutes on the elliptical tonight. I don't want to push it too hard especially while I can't seem to get more than 65g of Protein in a day. I am going to add an extra snack of maybe a cheeses stick to see if I can get to 70 g.

how much protein is everyone else getting?

My plan: Min of 60-65, max of 80 for me.

I have no idea what I have been doing, I haven't been counting really. Had a Protein Drink. Drinking a protein Water now. Ate a shrimp. Had some chicken. Had a yogurt drink. If I had to guess, maybe 75???

I would feel better if I was at 70-75g. I don't want to lose too much muscle.

      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.
