Calorie/protein Intake?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone share with me their average calorie/protein intake for their day. I'm not quite sure where I need to be at now that I'm eating soft foods. 6 weeks out, 33 lbs down, never lost that kind of weight before. I couldn't be more proud of myself, I feel amazing.

I have been eating 600-850 calories a day (usually closer to about 680). My NUT wants me to try to get in at least 800, but I have a hard time doing that unless I'm eating really fatty food wich I don't like doing. I am usually between 60-80 grams of Protein. I am almost 7 weeks out, and have been on a "regular" diet since the start of week 5. I try to keep my fat and carbs under 40 grams each a day (though my NUT gave me no recommendation ranges for this.

I'm 5 weeks out down 34.4lbs my intake is...

*protein 80-105grams a day

*calories 700-800 a day (after my work outs I burn most of that back off to)

*carbs no more the 50 and that is high to me. Usally around 30 a day.

If you haven't already, you might wanna check out MFP. There is a thread here for user names. You can search for: official my fitness pal friend add thread

I'm mobile so I can't get thd link for you...there most members allow you to see their daily food logs/calories/etc.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
