I'm 10 weeks out. I aim for:

100 - 120 grams Protein

As few carbs as possible

Enough fat to get my daily consumption up to 900 - 1000 calories.

Almost 9 weeks, 5' 4 1/2", my nut has me shoot for 80 g Protein, 60 g cabs ( no more than 20 at one time), 30 g fat. This comes to around 800 calories.

I'm almost 6 months out and I am around 1100 calories, 80-100 g of Protein, 60-90 g of carbs (can go to 120 but prefer not to) and fat is usually around 35-50 g.

I agree CowgirlJane^^^^ Just try to get in as much fluids and Protein as possible. You'll get to add more as you go it'll all fall into place I promise!!! I at 7 wks get 80-90 g protein about 700-800 cals. Good luck lady:)

2 weeks out from surgery one thing I have become very aware of is what is in food especially Protein ; finding milk that has 2x the protein, Greek yogurt, off the shelf shakes. It has become a detective game but learning a lot from it. My colleagues at work want me to teach then what I learn about foods when I return to work. This has given me a goal to learn what I can and have it be a part of my life from now on!

      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.
