How many calories is the goal to eat during Stage 2



Recommended Posts

I read all my bookletts and no where does it say how many calories I can eat. Shoot i'll puree a big mac if I can. LOL! No really I am being really inventive such as: low fat refried Beans with gucamole sour cream and cheese. Sounds like alot of calories but I can only eat 1/2 a cup. Or tuna with relish, eggs and mayo. Again 1/2 a cup. I can count the calories so I don't go over board with ingrediants. I just need to know how many to eat!:bolt:

I called my dietician and asked her the same question. I have a realize band and I log all my food in the food log and it keeps track of Fluid intake, calories, fat carbs and protein...etc. I'm only managing about 500 calories a day BUT 60 gr of protien. She said DONT worry about the calories worry about the protien. I can't tell you how full and ENERGETIC I feel. This weekend i had no desire to sit on the couch I need to get up and move and do things...who knew on 500 calories a day I could have this much get up and go!! Weird huh??

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
