I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and work hard to get my 60 grams of Protein every day. I was curious, how many calories are you all consuming each day?

Is anyone on MFP?

I think a lot of us are on MFP... At 2-4 weeks out I was only getting around 300-400 calories a day. Now I'm 3 months and average between 600-800. Don't worry too much about calories, just try to get that Protein in. It is really hard to do but will get easier. Don't stress too much... it gets better.

I agree with the above statement try and focus on getting in your Protein and Water I am almost 4 months post opt and I am only getting in 800- 900 calories per day and my doctor says that i am doing great as long as I am not tired or for weak i am ok, i work out 5 days a week and get in between 80-100 grams a Protein per day as well as 64 ounces of Water or more , you will see as you get further along it gets easier. And you will begin to feel great as the weight comes off you will have more energy. Congrats on your choice to be healthy and welcome to the losers bench. Keep us posted. I am on fitness pal but do not know how to add people.

      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...

        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.
