August 2013 Roll Call

[Vetniemeer 36]

I'm allowed Protein and salad (not everything, but a good enough list) once a day, as well as I can substitute a shake for a yoghurt. So I'm probably getting more calories than you but I haven't counted or worked it out, I'm simply following the NUTS plan.

How much pain are you in?

[gamergirl 4,610]

For those of you on a liquid diet I have a question. How many calories are you getting in a day? I started my liquid diet on the 30th and have only been getting in around 400 calories a day is this normal or do I need to get in more calories. If I need more calories can anyone give me pointers on how to get more in please.

I tried to get 800 with 100 gms of Protein, less than 50 gms of carbs. It was quite easy for me. 3 shakes with almond milk and sometimes one, other times 2 scoops of Protein Powder. That's usually 170 or 340 calories each respectively.Three veg Soups of 50 calories each.

Yours sounds like mine. I have HMR shakes and I can add a tsp of SF Jello or 1/4 cup of fruit for flavor. Other than that I can have SF Popsicles and broth

I agree... Not so bad. I have one incision that is hurting and some gas pain on the left side of my chest- other than that its really not that bad. I hope all of my sister sleevers are doing this well!
