Hi everyone - I'm about 2 weeks post op and feeling great! I had my post op appt today and my dr cleared me for soft foods and transition to full foods at my own pace since I've been eating soft foods for 5 days already. He also cleared me for full exercise. I put my food into Myfitnesspal and I'm only eating about 600 calories a day - I'm meeting my Protein (60-80g) and Water goals (64oz) each day - i did 30 mins on the elliptical today and burned 330 calories so really my calorie count for the day is down to 270 is this ok? I feel fine - no headaches or anything Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Christina - what was your calorie to walking ratio? If I'm not on the elliptical I try to walk for an hour to an hour and a half - 4 miles or so - I'm not getting tired - feeling pretty good - and tolerating a full diet already (haven't tried crunchy things yet) I'm just don't want my body to go into starvation mode and pack the pounds on Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Meimei - I bought the GNC brand of whey Protein and mix it with my Greek yogurt (banana cream protein and vanilla yogurt) and it gives me 34g of protein right off the bat - 2.5 oz of tuna is 16g and cottage cheese is 12g for a half a cup - that's over 60g already - I usually have a glass of milk after my workout which gives me 8-10 more grams. As far as Water - I just keep my water bottle in my hand while I'm walking around the classroom so I'm constantly sipping and getting it in - it has been easier the last couple days. I'll admit I have been tired after school this week but I just don't let myself sit down until my workout is done - I was cleared for full exercise today yay!!! I did 30 min on the elliptical. Keep working at it you'll get there- everything hurts a little less each day - I would say I'm 95% back to feeling normal. Pm me if you want to buddy up :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Bey Opal Chick - how are you feeling energy wise? I'm a week out and get tired pretty easily - I was super active before surgery so it's a little frustrating needing a nap every day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Ps - great job so far on your weight loss that's awesome! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was looking for a buddy too - mine was 3/24 - since there are people in various stages this will be a good forum to continue encouraging each other :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
