Best thing if all you want is Protein is Isopure. It's sold at GNC. 20oz drink has 40g of protein, 0 sugar, 0 carbs and 160 calories. They have 5 or 6 different flavors..... It's like gatorade

@@Smal2015 If anyone bashes you....let me know who....lol! Jj
I didn't have a pre op diet....just liquids 24 hrs before surgery. I actually gained 33 lbs from the time I got my sugary date in November till my surgery on March 5th. Just keep on truckin!

The one thing I always got excited about seems to becoming an after thought and I'm not sure this is healthy. I feel like I force myself to eat. I do eat, don't get me wrong, but the enjoyment is gone. I don't get excited when I advance in phases and am able to eat more things as I though I would. I barely eat the required amount that my Dr. set between 500 and 800 calories per day. Im around the the lower end of that spectrum. I think I feel this way because food is what made me fat and I'm feeling resentment towards it. I know this sounds crazy as hell..... Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I eat the same few things every day and you will also find a few things that you enjoy, satisfy your nutrition requirements, and make you feel satisfied. And once you find that balance, food logging will be like second nature only because you will always know exactly what you eat everyday

I have read about so many problems ppl are having and I feel weird that I haven't had any issues at all. I have lost over 30 and I'm only 2 weeks post op. I'm not really ever hungry and I find myself eating out of boredom. At what point does the quick weight loss stop?

I have been feeling the same way. food has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember and it's very hard redirecting myself away from eating and focusing on other activities

With all of the saints on this thread, let me be the first to say I was eating high octane crap up until 2 days before surgery, liquids the day before and I have had zero issues

I always told myself that I wasn't going to die fat!! And now I'm not!! You are just as much of a health risk being obese as you are getting surgery.

And your not going to. Yogurt is made with milk and milk has sugar.....can't get around that

Triple like! Obviously it's not good you "cheated", but hooray for honesty!

Hertsukfem31.......i would be willing to bet my last dime that your head is telling you that you are hungry and NOT your stomach!!! Its been almost 5 months since my surgery and I still cannot tell when my stomach is telling me that I am hungry. It's all in my head!! Remember that they cut out 80% of your stomach.....not your brain!! Our stomachs didnt make us obese.....our heads and emotions did. Keep your chin and head held up HIGH!! You will get through this and be a MAJOR SUCESS!!!
