Too few Calories Post-OP! Help!!!

[hopefully soon 13]

I was only getting 300-500 calories a day for the first 2 weeks or so, so I totally understand. I am now 7 weeks post op and I get between 800 and 1000 calories a day which seems to be okay but the weight loss sure slows down after the intial 2 weeks. There are lots of different kinds of Protein Shakes but I have found the ones that are most tolerable are ones I make myself with Protein Powder and other ingredients. My favorite is a scoop of chocolate Protein powder, 1 cup skim milk, half a banana, 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter, and 2 ice cubes bended smooth. This has gotten me through since week 3 and has about 300 calories and 40 grams of protein

i am also having the same issue. i was banded on the 18th, and i'm struggling. I made the mistake of going back to work too early and now i'm sore on top of weak and tired all the time!! Today I think i've gotten maybe 450 cal in and that was a struggle.

I also was banded on the 19th! Until today, the thought of eating anything made me grimace. I also drank too little. Well, today my appetite came back with a bang! I feel better and have energy & no headache! It will happen soon, just give it time! Good luck & congrats!
