How do i get my calories?



Recommended Posts

Breakfast: 1 egg and 8oz of juice 130 cals

Snack: Protein shake 120cals

Lunch: Greek yogurt 65 cals

Snack: cheese stick 50cals

Dinner: Ricotta bake 130cals

Total: 500cals and 46G of Protein

My NUT wants me at 800cals and 60-80 grams of protein. How in the world do I do this? I can add another Protein Shake and that will get my protein up but she doesn't really want me to drink. She wants it to come from food. Any ideas/suggestions? What do you all eat in a day to get your numbers up?

Take skimmed milk and add two dates in it and a little Caedmon power! Tastes really good! Dates are good for heart and hav loads of calories!

Cottage cheese is a really good source of Protein. It's also very tasty if you scramble 1/4 c of it with an egg. You could also try mixing flavored or unflavored Protein Powder with your greek yogurt to boost protein and calories.

it "looks" like from the food you are eating/drinking you are on the soft stage???? maybe 6-7 weeks PO???

i am surprised at this early point saying you should 800 calories???, but all NUTS are different

Add cottage cheese, another yogurt , cheese (babi bell is delicious)

i'm sure you'll get other suggestions

good luck :)

btw - i guess thats why tickers are helpful, so ppl can see DOS, weight et al - just a comment/suggestion to all - (you know who you are :lol: :lol:)

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
