am i getting enough calories?

[gwennybabe 0]

I was banded on June 24 and I thought I have been doing okay with my diet. But today in a moment of boredom decided to add my calories of the past few days and yesterday I had 133 cals and so far today I've had 170 cals.

Someone suggested on another thread to be consuming 1000cals a day, im struggling to drink all this as it is!

So this is what I had today:

Jello 8 cals

pumpkin cup of Soup 1/2 cup watered down 54 cals

Protein Shake 1/2 cup Water base 72 cals

Cordial 1/2 glass. 36cals

Any suggestions would be great

Absolutely not!

But don't concentrate on the calories as much as Protein. You have to get at least 50 grams of Protein a day in order to heal your body and burn fat.

The calories will come with the protein.

Any suggestions for things to drink for Protein besides Protein Shakes?

[btrieger 21]

I can't help there. I love Protein shakes.

Hopefully someone else can help. There are lots of people here that hate Protein Shakes.< /p>

I personally love Protein Shakes, but I found another type of protein supplement which is almost like juice, called nectar. I found a sample pack at Fitness Connection. I like the Lemon Tea and Crystal Sky flavors, but nectar has multiple flavors to choose from.

Oh yea and nectar also has an unflavored version which is good to mix in Soups and other things. It dissolves quite nicely with no chunks in room temp, or cold Water, but if you put it straight hot liquids it will clump and taste like cheese. If I had it to hot liquids, I will typically dissolve it in room temp or warmish liquids first.
