Meal planning helps me. My surgeon said Protein is the most important thing my Nutritionist said hydrate 1st and Protein 2nd. I’m not big into weighing I got some ramekins that are 3 ounces I put what I want in that and eat until I’m full normally I don’t finish it but things like cottage cheese I can finish it no problem. It is time consuming but I feel meal planning and meal prepping is the easiest where I can have a life too still I have the 64 ounce water bottle with times in it like someone else mentioned I just fill it in the morning keep it in the fridge and fill a smaller 20 ounce Water bottle from that and I know I’ve drank my fluids by the end of the day

Hi Everyone...

So i am only one week post op with a robotic gastric sleeve. I am feeling so much bloating, gas and a little pain. It's hard to tell if its pain or hunger. I have only loss 8lbs so far is that normal or should i have lost more??? I see people post they lost 20 or 30 and i think am i doing something wrong? I do well with getting in the 60g of Protein but not sure if i am getting in enough Water. The struggle is real.

Gatorade Zero make a Protein version that is 2 birds with one stone.

Also, I plan out my entire day's food the night before using My Fitness Pal. That way I know what I'm going to have and that I met my protein/fat/carb goals for the day. Other than dinner, I will even get everything out and portioned and ready to go so that my Breakfast, lunch, and Snacks are all packed and ready to roll.

      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.
