I'm the total opposite of you I get my 64oz of liquid but I'm struggling with my protein I gotta get 60-80g of protein a day like what do you do to meet yours?I drink the protein shake every morning and that gives me 30grams of the 60 I'm told to eat. I then eat lean meat, fish or legumes for lunch. If I have Snacks, I try and make them protein rich, like string cheese or these chips I found called beanitos. Lol, sounds like a gas medicine, I know, but they are really good and come in lots of flavors. They're made from Beans and have a decent amount of protein in them. (Can't remember exactly off the top of my head). It's though some times, but I try and follow the protein first rule. Some days I eat just protein for a meal, like tonight I had roasted chicken, about 6 oz. that was it, because it is so filling. I later had a grapefruit after the chikky settled. I am also lucky to work in a health care setting where all our meals in the cafeteria are bar coded for my fitness pal, so I am able to choose the most protein laden meal. What are you doing to get all that Fluid in? I wake up and drink Water I find it if you workout you'll reach your 64oz I have a 32oz water bottle and I drink 2 of those so if I start drinkin my water at 8a.m I'll finish that bottle around 12pm the reason being is because you can't eat and drink at the same time then the second bottle I drink my fav drink which is crystal light but I make popsicles so there you have it I drink my first 32oz and I eat my second 32oz (popsicles lol) but I get more than 64oz because I drink a lot of water

All I can say is when you have to cough grab you a soft pillow and hold it to your stomach I'm not saying you won't feel pain you just won't feel as much pain Good luck

My start off weight was 364 b4 the surgery and on my surgery date which was Oct 27th I was 313 and after surgery I'm 301 I'm tryin to get dwn to 150 or 180

That makes a lot of sense I really truly appreciate it because I do struggle with what foods to eat I dislike going to the grocery store because what I think maybe good turns out to not be... I thought I had a support system but he's NOT EVER AROUND nor do he call or text so I'm by myself (sorry for changing the subject) I just need help and don't know where and whom to turn to

Try getting the chewables from Walgreens or walmart Try the chewables frm walgreens or walmart

You'll be fine because I wasn't faithful to my 2 week pre-op (I cheated once and felt very guilty about it) I had my surgery Oct 27th just stick to whatever pre-op diet and workout you'll be fine BUT if the fatty liver haven't reduce then YES they can reschedule and you will have to be on the liquid diet longer

My surgery was Oct 27th and I had to do 2 weeks of the liquid diet which consist of five high protein shakes in a day (premier was the brand I used) low sodium chicken broth and water.... Yes I went through 70 high protein shakes in 2 weeks it was hard but I lost 21lbs with in 2 weeks

I hope so but my NUT also said to invest in a crockpot to soften the meats oh I also eat fish but just the inside I don't eat the breading

I was just online reading up on that.... Thank you

That's the phase I'm on... I'm eating fruit (no skin) tuna, chicken salad (light miracle whip) 2 chopped boiled eggs, scrambled egg for breakfast (just 1) low fat yogurt.... I haven't tried lean ground beef or turkey yet but I'm getting there tho

Yes because I'm such a picky eater I find myself only eating veggies when I eat the healthy choice tv dinners... what are some of the things you eat if you don't mind me asking?

I'm already taking protein. Puritans pride is cool. Buy one and get 2 free deals. Saves a lot of money Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App 20161201_180507.jpg 20161201_180349.jpg Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App I had ordered premier high protein it's 30g of protein in 11oz carton

It was painful...I didn't want to eat and barely wanted to drink I was constipated for a whole week I kept calling the surgery flr telling them the problem they kept telling all kinds of things to buy (so be careful with pain meds because that is what going to cause your constipation) if you have a recliner sleep in it that will be your best friendI'd hate to do that. Would take me back when I was getting epidurals refrquently for bulging discs. My recliner was the only place I could sleep good. We'll that will add to my anticipated emotional roller coaster. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Ooh yes at times I questioned myself as to if I made the right decision but I did because I feel better and I see a big difference and so does everyone else now I just got to get back to working out more

I'm in the soft phase and I was wondering is healthy choice tv dinners a good idea since I'm not that good with buying vegetables
