Every doctor and dietitian are different. My doctor goes to 2 different hospitals so I switched dietitians and they have different food plans. Did you get a print out when you met with yours? I have from both of them. First food in is Protein, then veggies, fruit and then carbs.

Good luck.

I do 1200 cals a day since surgery and now in maintenance although dietican said I can do 1500 now. I focus mostly on Protein abt 60-70 gms daily. The fats,carbs I don't track but I use myfitnesspal which keeps track of those and very seldom go over the recommended amt. I worry more abt sugars but that's just me.

Mine is almost identical. Minimum 60g of Protein, 1200 calories a day, and I don't count carbs.

i focus on lean Protein, veggies and fruit and i stay within my allotted amount...i dont overthink the how many carbs vs fat vs whatever....however i am very much aware that 3500 calories is a pound and if i eat more calories than i burn off, i will gain or not lose weight.

My NUT recalculates based on my weight. I believe she uses the formulas as my fitness pal since they usually line up with the emphasis being that Protein is the minimum the others are maximums.

      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.
