Topic: RE: Another moment of despair
I got some of the meal replacement shakes from GNC...they are surprisingly pretty good. They have swiss choc flavor, cookies n cream, vanilla bean, strawberries n cream, and blueberries n cream. Here lately Ive been mixing them with 1% milk and some ice and they are good. The swiss chocolate you can mix with some coffee (decaf is good) and put some cinnamon n nutmeg in them. The protien shakes have been helping me between meals and getting my protien in because I hadnt been eating enough...
Also, talk to your doctor to see what advice they have

Purple39lady,
While I don't want you to think I that you should have wonton soup all the time, you should be proud of yourself that you ate only half the amount. That should mean something. Maybe next time you'll have the strength to forgo the soup all together.
I am wondering, are you getting enough "protein" in during the day? That may be the reason you're not feeling full - longer.
What is a typical eating regiment for you?

Topic: RE: Hello Everyone!
Wow we are only 2 days apart. I am on the stricter pre op diet but not exclusive liquids yet. I am very excited but with the exercise I am doing I am very hungry. I need to talk to my nutritionist about this.
Best of luck to you.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks Katie! I will remember that and not be shy about asking questions.
Topic: RE: protien
Are you on solids yet or just liquids? If only liquids I was able to have pureed soups, lentil has a lot of protein in it. Or I'd do veggie beef soup blended. If you can have solids try getting more dense solid protein as it keeps you feeling full longer than even a liquid protein shake. Plus remember we all go thru stalls, it's part of the game. Good luck to you!
Topic: RE: Another moment of despair
I promise it will get better. Count yourself lucky my surgeon was old school and I had to do a month long pre-op diet of as much skim milk as I could drink in 10 min. 3x a day plus all the non calories drinks I could drink. Thennnn after the surgery I had clear then full liquids for another 30 days. So all in all 60 days of nothing but liquids, I did cheat a couple of pre-op days but only with a slice of swiss cheese so not like I had a burger basket. We all have to go thru this in one way or another so deep breath and you will make it!
Topic: RE: My latest fill
Maybe I need to explain something...I said I had a cottage cheese addiction because...I can not JUST eat it at meals, I was eating it all day long..when I grazed, that is what I grazed on. I now know that I can not eat it..at least not now...I had "convinced" myself that when I grazed on the cottage cheese that because it was protein , it was ok.
