Hi Baddoggie,
Your last post surely shows you took the advise of others and you are truely trying to get it all figured out. You do need about 80 grams of protein a day, I still drink 2-3 protein drinks a day to make sure I get that or close. My surgeon said we should not drink while you eat because you want to feel full longer, thus not eating as often. Also, for sure give up the soda even if you can drink it, it is a huge waste of extra calories you do not need. Some of the hunger you are feeling my actually be "head hunger". The next time you eat, try real hard to listen to your stomach as to when it signals "I am satisfied" not "Full". This will help you understand the signals you should be watching for not the "full signal" but the "satisfied signal" I will admit, it is not a easy road to travel but it does get easier with every day, week, and month that passes and as long as you are true to yourself, and use your new tool the way it is intended, you will be successful! Reasearch, research, research and ask questions like you have/are, this is a great way to get support and information that will help you along your journey. Also, are you taking multi-vitamins? Vitamins are as imprtant as the protein, you do not want to become vitiam difficient, Vit D is one I was low on even though I have been doing what I need to, so please be sure to get thet checked out, this was done by blood draw. Take care and best wishes with your success!
