Question, not enough calories?



Recommended Posts

hi, i am a month post-op, i had my first fill a week ago. I've had weeks where i am starving and can eat anything, and now i do not want to eat anything. i am not complaining. I keep track of cal and amounts and Protein and Water. I also work out 5 times a week, but i am finding i am only getting 500 to 600 cals a day which is not enough to exercise. I am eating mushies, almost regular food. Any suggestions for food that would help, everything i eat has no cals or i can only eat a tiny amount. B)

At a month post op you're only supposed to be walking, and as long as your Protein is up you're fine and you'll lose, lose, lose which is kinda the purpose.

Protein up, calories down is the way this works, let us know how you progress, and at 4 weeks no move to solids yet? That will give you more caloric intake as well, unless you're restricted from solids I would make that move.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
