Just a phase 98

Hi guys so I’m having a hard time trying to get answers on how much to be eating. I have portion sizes from my guide that the hospital gave me but there is no caloric values or macros listed in it. I used ChatGPT to see what it recommends and it says 800 calories a day for where I am post op. anyone have any input as to where I’m supposed to be at? I’m just now at 2 months post op and going nuts.

Thanks for the input.. it helps getting others views so I don’t feel as crazy.. I appreciate everyone posting on this matter.

I’m still trying to navigate my way thru this transition and it’s harder everyday. I just feel stuck that’s why I’m trying to get others input and try to “find my way”. It gets frustrating when I see other people losing alot of weight off the bat .. I’ve lost 20 lbs in the last two months and feel that’s not sufficient but then again is there a general number we’re supposed to be down by month 2 ? Ugh I drive myself nuts with that and I’m tryin to get my mindset right but I end up freaking out and stressing over it.

So I’m 5 weeks post op and have only lost 13 lbs. I feel stuck and wondering if that’s normal to lose only that amount in a month? I feel defeated as I only have protein shakes for breakfast and lunch while I’m at work . but dinner is where i incorporate a soup or broth. I just don’t know if I’m doing this right? I’m supposed to be in the pureed stage and then go into soft foods next week.. I need advice on how to help my weight come off faster /better.. this has been a crazy mind game for me ..

Thanks for the advice .. I’m new to this forum and I just didn’t want to feel alone since I have no idea what I’m doing.

Thank you for the encouragement.. this mind game is a struggle some days I feel like I’ve got this, others (like today) I feel as if I’m lost and not sure I’m doing things right. I appreciate it!
