I'm 5 wks out n I was wondering about how may calories everyone is eating?

It's all over the place for most people. At 5 weeks 400-600 calories is not abnormal. The doctors like you to get at least 65 gms of Protein if you are a woman and it seems like 600-800 calories is where this is doable. At my stage, post surgery, 18 months- my target is 1200. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Still low carb. High meat, veggies, and fruits.

I do a fair amount of Soup as I struggle to get my liquids in.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
