Need some feedback. I am 4 weeks post op and am now on a reg diet. Started using "my fitness pal" again to help me keep track. Right now I have my calories set for 1500. I haven't had a fill yet so I am feeling very little restriction however there is some. My question is, did i set my calories too high? I'm not sure where I should be. MFP says I should be loosing weight with that number but I'm not sure. Feedback please......

Depends on the person...male or famale? My calories are set for 1,200 and I'm having a difficult time reaching that goal. I average around 8-900 cals a day now, but I haven't experienced any adverse affects of being so low.

Female...I am hungry and could easily go over 1500 if I wanted to but I am usually around 1300 or 1400. Can't wait for my first fill!

When losing, I tried to stick between 1300-1500.

My dr's office says 800-1200 calories. My dr said as long as I'm getting enough Protein and choosing protein first not to really stress about calories.

      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.
