IF you can eat asparagus (yes, it fibrous), you can get a lot of Protein from that as well as tuna.< /p>

Thanks for the suggestions. Asparagus, no, but I had forgotten about what a good choice tuna is. Thanks again.

buy unflavored Protein powder and add it to whatever is possible. Gravy, Soup, stew, Beans, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat, hot chocolate, etc. I'm not allowed to have Protein Shakes except after vomiting or PB and for 24 hours after a fill. Other than that I have to eat REAL protein. I can't eat a lot of it though, as it constipates me horribly. I do better with a balanced diet.

SIL and everyone, thanks for the great ideas. I use Unjury Protein and I put it in my coffee once and it was like lumps of Jello in it. What protein powder you use for your oatmeal and coffee? Thanks, everyone, for your help.

I buy champion whey Protein in vanilla and mix it with 8 ounces of Water and a crystal light packet. It tastes like a yummy cream drink. VERY tolerable!

ps... mix it with tap or cool Water and THEN refridgerate, if you want it ice cold. If you try to mix Protein with hot or very cold liquids, it does get lumpy or grainy.

Just keep the hot liquids under 130 degrees and then you can mix in the protien powder. Any hotter than that and you get the lumps. I got a cheap thermometer at the Mart and use it all the time. Now I get perfect moist chicken every time too and never have to worry if I have cooked it enough. No more over cooked dry anything. And its handy for mixing protien powder into my coffee and Soups.< /p>

I have BeneProtein, which is 6 grams of Protein per scoop with 25 calories and no carbs. It can be mixed with anything wet or mushy! I discovered this on my own and even took my nutritionist by surprise when I told her about it.

Thanks. I'm gonna google that and see where I can get it. I had to have a 1.5 cc unfill yesterday, so I am on liquids right now, but I will need the additional Protein soon.

When was your last fill? I guess what I am asking is how long after your last fill did it take to know you needed an unfill?

      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!!
