10 weeks post op - No desire to eat - normal?

[abbyabby 11]

So, I'm 10 weeks post op and have lost 65 pounds (including preop diet). I have 40 more pounds until I'm at goal. I'm concerned though because I have absolutely no desire to eat. I have to force myself to eat during the day. I eat 1 (or 2 at the most) 5 oz fage yogurt cups, a piece of cheese and force a Protein Shake. Is this normal or should I call my doctor? Thanks

My doctor told me not to count calories but to count Protein and as long as I'm getting between 60-80 grams of protein a day then that's fine. Obviously avoid foods high in carbs and sugars but that's pretty much it. Every surgeon team/nut is different so if you are concern contact your nutritionist, they are paid to help you and answer all your questions so make them work!!! lol... But in the meantime, count your protein!!!!

With the high Protein shakes and supplements out there you can get all your Protein in with very little calories which isn't healthy. Your body needs a certain amount of calories. What you listed you ate in a day isn't many calories at all and seems like it wouldn't add up to enough protein either. I would keep track of your calories and protein for a few days and let your Dr and NUT how much of each you're taking in and see what they suggest.
