Just out of curiosity...



Recommended Posts

Just curious... I had my surgery March 17, 2014, so I'm 5 weeks post op. I was just wondering, about how many calories everyone is taking in. I know that we are all at different stages, and our doctors each tell us something different. But, Im just really curious. I count mine every once in awhile, and I'm anywhere from 400-500.

If you count, what are yours?

Thanks ;)

I am 14 weeks post-op. I average between 450 and 600 calories, 30 g carbs, and 80-90 grams of Protein per day.

I'm pretty much the same as you about 400-600 calories I try to make sure Protein is eaten first and are good choices. If I exercise that day I may actually be in the negative or only around 100 plus calories

I believe at five weeks I was only at about 300 calories a day, and was normally in the negative with exercise. I am now at nearly 8 months and am between 700 - 800 calories each day. My clinic emphasized counting Protein not calories, but I track everything I eat, and was amazed how little I needed!

      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.
