Am i eating enough? Surgery in march of 2013



Recommended Posts

Had surgery march of 2013, lost 68 plds to date. Only eating about 650 calories a day. Mostly Proteins and about 60 grams of Protein daily. Even with that amount of calories I am still hitting stalls. I was just wondering what the calorie intake is of others and the 6 month mark. Hope all is well!!!

I had my surgery in march and have lost 102lbs with no stalls ...I am at 800 calories a day and 60 g of Protein ...every person is different but it is true what they say, you have to eat to lose

I would check with your nutritionist.... lots of people have stalls including myself :( but sometimes you have to increase the calories to lose, its that ol' metabolism thing !!! You have to fuel the body just like fueling a car - - no gas you don't go anywhere !!! So think of your body as a car :)

I was hitting stalls when I was eating very little calories each day, I bumped up to 1200 and am losing steadily again.

      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.
