Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I went to see my doctor due to heartburns . He gave me some medicine for that but he also asked me about my calorie intake which I told him it's 600-750 he said its too low I need to eat 1000-1200 a day. More now that I'm thinking at the gym. Now I have a hard time eating 750cals as is can't imagine what to eat to get me to 1200cal

He also put be back at eating every 2hrs no exceptions. Can someone that is eating that much give me an example of their menus please.... Thank you all :-)

How far are you out from surgery? What were your Surgeon/Nut guidelines? Your doctor may not be well-versed in WLS. I'd consult the Surgeon/Nut.

I'm not sure what my calorie intake is, but I do eat every couple hours. Morning, I ease my stomach into fluids and take my medicine (thyroid). then a Protein Bar, then yogurt, eggs or toast with Peanut Butter. I always eat only things that have nutritional value. Then in the afternoon I eat a few vegetables, Soup (which is not that nutritous but easy to take). Then I eat fruit in the evening as a treat. Hope this helps!

There's a thread here where people are sharing their myfitnesspal names. If you're using that app, it's good to be able to see others daily good diaries.

I'm 10weeks out and my surgeon was the one who told me to eat that many calories

      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.
