kisersassy 369 Posted December 3, 2012 ok so tomorrow I will be 5 weeks post op. how much realistically should I be eating at this stage? how many calories? I feel I may be overeating because I get a lot of calories each day. right at or over 800. I see on myfitnesspal where some barely get 300-400 a day. I am really worried about this as I can eat 1/2-3/4 cup where some say one to two bites!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted December 3, 2012 oh and the 3/4 cup is if I am eating like Soup with a couple crackers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4SFLFDS 59 Posted December 3, 2012 I was on 10/23--I try not to go over 1/2 cup or 4 oz--I was also concerned about eating too much but my NUT said if something is really moist and soft that's why you can eat more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted December 3, 2012 My surgeon gave me specific instructions on what to eat and how much. The first 3 wks I was 2-4 oz.of yogurt for Breakfast, portein shake for snack, 2-4 oz. of Soup for lunch and something mushy for dinner 2-4 oz. Check with your surgeon or nutritionist on exactly what you sould be eating and how much. Each surgeon is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspl 161 Posted December 3, 2012 ok so tomorrow I will be 5 weeks post op. how much realistically should I be eating at this stage? how many calories? I feel I may be overeating because I get a lot of calories each day. right at or over 800. I see on myfitnesspal where some barely get 300-400 a day. I am really worried about this as I can eat 1/2-3/4 cup where some say one to two bites!! I was just like you! I was upset and decided to just screw it, I'm eating that bread stick.....yeah, that 4in breadstick made me want to die! Not dumping, just so full it hurt. BUT I think it was just what I needed, because almost like magic, the next day I made scrambled eggs for breakfast. Put my portion in the 1/2 C container and after 2 bites, dear lord I was dying again! I wouldn't advocate anyone putting themselves in pain, but if you are loosing weight, staying hydrated, and getting in your Protein, then rock on! We are all different! I read peoples stories about vomiting and being unable to keep down Water, I feel terrible for those folks, since I came home from the hospital being able to almost chug Water, at least drink normally.

lynn 49 Posted December 4, 2012 I am 6 months out and depending on the day i can eat half a cup to a fourth of cup i can drink Water no problem i can get 8 ozs down in 15 minutes with no pain as long as its little sips still. food one day i can eat something the next day makes me sick. My dr said never eat more than 3/4 of a cup till i am further out and handling food at ever meal. I still have to do shakes just to get all my Protein in.
