Daily calorie intake at 16 days post op?



Recommended Posts

I am usually taking in about 300 to 400 calories a day but today I took in 600. What is everybody taking in? Ive done real good, have lost 15.5 lbs in 2 weeks and 30 in 4 weeks.

We had surgery the same day! On average I take in the same amount between 300 and 400 and that is if I try really hard. I've lost 14lbs since surgery...so we are pretty close in stats. I would also like to know what everyone's average is because I have a real difficult time getting in over 400...especially since everything is low fat etc.

I was averaging about 400-500 calories at 16 days. Sounds like you're right on track! Keep it going!

Hello I had surgery on December 26, 2012 About seven weeks now.... On week number 3 ,I plateaued didn't lose anything for a week And also on week six..... It is a scary feeling.... I have lost 35 pounds but feel like I should've lost about 40-45 If I had not plateaued out...... I do know I've lost a lot of inches I went from a size 24 to pick extra-large in a skirt....

My doctor said I was not taking in enough calories (I was currently taking in 300 to 350 in )..... Wants me to get it up to 700 cal.... This was two weeks ago.... And still not at 700 cal but I am now at least a 550-600 Day.... This week I lost 3 1/2 pounds pounds.... So maybe he knows what he's talking about LOL

I was also sleeved on 12/26. I manage to get in around 350 - 400 calories day. I also hit a stall at 3 weeks but since then I'm losing at a slow but steady pace. I'm down 31 pounds since surgery and two full sizes. We should all keep in touch!

      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.
