I have been told that is ok! Everyone here seem to get slightly different info but generally if you stay vigilant to your calories, Protein and Fluid intake-- it's all good!

Protein is a muscle builder. As you lose weight, you want to maintain muscle mass while losing the fat. What you have there is typically what bodybuilders drink. That's a lot of calories. Personally, I would drink it. I have nice muscle definition(under my fat, lol) from my bodybuilding days that I have been able to maintain through Vitamin supplementation(Branch chained amino acids and CLA/ALA/GLA) and protein consumption. As I am losing weight, I am still maintaining that definition. Consider this: Calories in/Calories out. If you're diet is supposed to be roughly 1000 calories per day(which is crazy low) and you lift weights and do aerobic exercise, depending on the activity, you're going to lose weight. We're supposed to consume anywhere from 1600-2000 calories a day( a healthy person, that has 60 minutes of aerobic activity and is at their goal weight). 1200 calories is still a loss, from average. I know I'm rambling...;)

Bottom line: If your goal is 1000 calories for a loss and you consume 1400 calories then you must find an activity where you burn 400 calories. spinning for 1hr, depending on intensity, would do it. Lifting weights will rev up your fat burning machine and keep it running throughout the day. as long as your active and your caloric intake isn't out of control, you should be fine.

Is it to much calories 280 but 60 g Protein ? I thought it was ok but I'm new ?? Help

140 calories for 30g of Protein is okay. You should split it up into two servings. Make sure it doesn't contain too much sugar though.

This sounds like my GNC amplified wheybolic Protein shake-exact same specs and only 2 gms of sugar. I researched many different Proteins and tried very many and found this one to be highest protein content for calorie count and sugar content. I also liove the taste of the chocolate!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
