Right now...I was told not to focus on calories but to get in fluids and Protein. I finally got my dietician to tell me between 600-800 calories a day. I am four weeks post op.

My dr never said a calorie count either . Try to get. 50-60 grams of Protein, and 64 0z of Water. I try to make every meal be protein, and sometimes I struggle with water cause I use Protein Shakes in between meals to actually get all my protein. The calorie count is not

Really correct either cause I can not always get the correct volume count of food. Like I can't eat

A whole egg, but I dont get a choice for 1/3 of an egg.

Wasn't really wanting a Drs calorie count was just wondering what mfp was saying. Also you czn change the serving sizes in the app. For instance if you only ate 1/3 of an egg...where it says how many servings it'll say 1, you can change that to .33 to reflect 1/3 or s serving and it will recalculate you at that serving size. I know calories aren't important...I was just wondering where everyone was at. I actually only use the app for the purpose of counting my protein....

      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.

      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.
