From your screenshot it says you consumed 300+ calories for breakfast...

What was your total calories for the entire day? (I'm unsure if the 668 shown for calories is total consumed? Or total remaining?)

668 was my total cal. For the day

that's fine - it was just a little confusing. You put your question as a response to someone else's post rather than started a new thread for it. I know you're new and it's fine - you're not the first and certainly not the last, so no worries!

I eat the Protein foods first

ie. The chicken, the tuna, the eggs the Peanut Butter spoonful , the cheese etc

I'm going to go out on a limb here. I don't think you should be eating grilled chicken, Peanut Butter, tuna and egg salad with mayo added, etc.. 20 days after surgery. you really need to consume 2 or 3 protien shakes per day to print your system into balance.

I am on Soft diet right now I wasn’t able to get any kind of Protein Shake no matter how I tried premade mixes unflavored flavorless flavored water or anything I would throw it all up I talk to my nutritionist she said I could eat eggs Peanut Butter chicken tuna as long as my stomach could handle it the first stage after my surgery was liquids I did that for a week then then full liquids I did that for a Couple of days and still wasn’t getting enough Protein so my nutritionist Said I can go to soft diet and eat my protein that way Of course I did the purée stage in between as well February 3 I go on to Regular diet I can eat whatever I want then

I just did what my nutritionist said

This one is too strange. Just drink some protien shakes and move on. The idea that you can eat grilled chicken, Peanut Butter and tuna salad, but not a protien shake is above my pay grade. Good luck with your journey.

Yes that’s easy for you to say if I could get down the Proteins shakes and not throw them up. do you think I’d be here asking questions If I could , I just explained what my nutritionist told me to do And I’m going to move on by

The reason you are virtually required to drink protien shakes is because your new digestive system is still in the healing stage and not yet fully functioning. There is no way you are absorbing much protien from a piece of chicken at this stage. You might as we be eating cardboard from a nutritional sense.

The Protien shakes/supplements are not a "treat" they are a virtual necessity to get your body into a digestive rhythm.

Best of luck moving forward and hopefully your nutritionist can help you out. I will end with your original quote on one of these threads where I think you were questioning if your doctor may have actually done your surgery wrong. This kind of strangeness, coupled with the protien shake issue is just too strange for normal discourse.

Best of luck.

Sometimes life is hard, and you have to push through things, even if it is a struggle. You will be much better off in the end if you maintain good nutrition during the next several months.

Maybe it's a lactose issue then you'll need either pure isolate or pea or soy protein..

Personally i think there's something wrong if a person can't drink shakes they are very important for a number of reasons...

      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.
