Banster Hell!

[Lee Lewis 1]

I have been in hell for all most two months. I have been the last week sub meal with Special K Protein Shakes. Does anyone know if these are ok. Also I stay hungry. Need Help to stay full.

How many calories are you getting in a day? Did your nutritionist put you on a certain caloric intake? If so did they also tell you how many grams of dense Protein you should be getting in? I need 80 grams of Protein a day and I'm a 5'3" woman, as a taller male you would need more and you need the dense protein to help you stay more satisfied and full longer. I have a chart for protein if you want to tell me how tall you are. But you should probably see if you can get this info from your nutritionist. As far as calories and protein needs go. I eat 1200 calories right now because I can still loss weight and if I eat less I'll starve. I need another fill. As a male you can get away with more calories. Good luck

I have been steaming bags of veg in the microwave wave and then adding them to my Soups in a blender to get the consistency right. the bag of steamed veg is only 100 calories and really bulks out my Soup so I feel full. Sorry you are having a hard time

I am 6 feet tall, my calorie intake is about 1700, I try to get less. I have no support group from my surgeon and the nutrationist was just there for the insurance purposes. I am reading and reading, thanks for all your help.
