Yup. Are you entering your food into some sort of tracking program so you know exactly how much Protein you got from it? My guess is you didn't eat a whole serving and it's a very good idea to keep track.

replying to above statement

you should be!! :angry: :D :D

yogurt is grrreat for Protein :)

I llllllove my FAGE 0% plain yogurt with fresh blueberries and a little granola sprinkled on top!! yum yum :)

(no blueberries or granola for you at your early stage :wacko: )

since you ate 1/2 cup yogurt that =s 10gr

keeping track of your calories, Proteins, carbs, sugar, etc is very helpful :)

good luck :)

Alyce, best of wishes to you. Read the protein count on the container of yogurt. It is good to keep track of what you eat. Every day will get better! Have a wonderful weekend!

As they say, no question is stupid. A lot of foods contain a certain amount of Protein & you need to count it. Even tho' I'm on solid foods I still drink at least 1 shake a day. This helps making sure I get 60+ grams of Protein.< /p>

If you don't log in your food on something (even if it's just a sheet of paper) you won't be able to make sure you are hitting all of your daily requirements. I use MyFitnessPal on my cell phone. I always look up food before I eat it just to make sure it doesn't have some horrible carbs/fat in it, then I log it. Then, when can, I transfer this information to my DietMinder that I got from Amazon. In the afternoon I tally up all of my intake to make sure I'm getting everything I need & not over doing my calories & carbs. I know it's a bit redundant but this way I can just look something up from previous days. Trying to go back a few days on MyFitnessPal is a pain. My DietMinder also has a place for weight, exercise & Vitamins.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
