Yogurt. Chobani, YQ or tillamok. They all have 14 grams of Protein. Plain YQ has 17 grams. Fairlife milk, they have chocolate too. 13 grams. Single serve tuna has 14 grams and 80 calories.

Cottage cheese, mozarella cheese. I ate a ton of Beans.

Good luck!

Yes tuna or Salmon cans.. I've been stocking up whenever I see a good deal probably got about 50 cans so far as I'll be living off it eventually! Also stocking up on bulk Protein powder: doesn't bother me I've got the proper protein shaker cups so there's no lumps just pure liquid protein!

      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.
