How many calories during puree stage?



Recommended Posts

Hello:) I am almost 2 weeks out, started puree beginning of week 2. I lost 6 lbs. the first 6 days post op, and now I have been stuck at the same weight, actually gained a lb, this past week. I'm doing everything I am supposed to including enough Protein, fluids and walking. I increased my calories the last few days. Still nothing. So, I am wondering, thosee who have had successful weight loss during the puree stage, how many calories are you eating per day? I am frustrated:( Thank you so much!

I never actually pureed anything, was just too disgusting. I opted for lightly scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and yoghurt (plus Protein Shake to get to 70 grams/day). I don't think I've broken 400 calories a day yet!

We were told no certain amount of cals. Just measure your food and only eat the amounts your plan has prescribed.

I didn't count calories till I got to solid foods, odds are you can't eat enough in puree's to matter how many calories. A Stall and possible gain is likely when transitioning between stages, and in my opinion the best thing to do is to stick with your plan as defined by your dr and it will not last. It also seems from what I have read here people in your weight range are even more likely to have the stall and be slower losers but you need to try to stay positive and trust in the plan. Good Luck.

      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...

        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.
