If it's just this once....

well probably not, but I hope these kinds of days are few and far between. I just haven't been hungry today. I haven't done awful, it's just that I've only eaten probably half of each of my meals. That puts my protein intake at around 24g. My doc only tells me to aim for 40g. I feel bad for not getting in the protein for today. So the only options I can think of....is either to finish the night by drinking a high protein boost (15g) or by eating the rest of my dinner at my night time snack time. What would be best? Or is it ok that I just didn't make it today. I know tomorrow's a new day and hopefully it will be better.

Unfortunately I have had more than "these once" days.    I had surgery 2 days after you and it is really tough STILL I know to get in everything.  Well...I'm getting in the water, but struggle bigtime with protein.  I'm not hungry most days either.  crazy isn't it!!  I mean before WLS I think I was always thinking about food in some way shape or form.  Now..  I just don't think about it.  Well I guess I think about it when i finally look at the clock and realize how long it has been since I ate.   I confess to not getting in my 60g of protein probably 3 out of 7 days a week.  I know that is NOT GOOD.  You are lucky that your dr. only says 40g.  I just do what I can and pray I don't sick.  (please don't anyone scold me...I know and promise to give it an extra effort tomorrow).   I think you will be ok "just this once"     but we BOTH will do better tomorrow!   Good Luck and Happy Eating!

I say tomorrow is a new day! You are doing great. PS. I got the Nectar protein powder. I'm going to bring it to you to try. A protein drink a day will help! It smells good and I even tasted the powder and it tasted like fruit punch...just like they claim. I haven't made a drink yet thought........
