Six days post op here. Good for you!!! I feel like I'm "eating" too much liquid, but I added it all up today on My Fitness Pal and it's still under 700 calories, so I guess the band is working already!

Stay hydrated and take it easy.

Right after my surgery when I talked to my doctors office I told them I had no energy! The nurse said tht I probably wasn't getting enough protien, and to add a shake. So if your cleared for full liquids yet you might consider doing that.

How many calories should be consumed post op? Is there a certain number you should reach? Or is calories no longer the question, it's all about Protein?

Most doctors will say don't worry about losing wieght so early on, just worry about healing. That being said most also recommend sugar free products. And yes getting protien in is very important.

In a few weeks when your able to eat more you want to make good food choices. I personally don't have a problem staying under 1200-1000 calories a day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
