4 weeks out...eating too much?



Recommended Posts

I can eat a whole egg with a sprinkle of cheese for Breakfast. lunch is a Protein shake. And dinner say half a can of salmon with mayo and a slice of avocado. I'm sure this is between 500-600 calories a day. During the liquid phase I was having 320 calories a day and felt faint a few times.

Some people say they are stuffed after 2-3 bites or want to vomit. But I dont.

We do need some calories...right?

That doesn't sound like too much to me. In fact, it may be too little pretty soon. My daily calories hover between 700-1000, my Protein 70-100 grams, and my fluids 70-100 ounces. (Wow, I just noticed that all my ranges look the same!) It seems to be working. I feel good and have lost 80 pounds in four months. Good luck, you'll figure it out.

Sounds good to me too.

I was eating about that much 4 weeks out. I can remember having the same question... Is this too much. No.... You'll see once you start eating more dense foods your capacity will change depending on the foods. Hang in there. I'm 8.5 weeks and i'm delighted with the amount of foods i can eat and how much healthier i feel.

I can have about 3 cups of creamy and mushy Soups a day. 1 cup at a time. 2 puddings. 2 jellos and 2 Popsicles. I'm even ok eating a whole oatmeal but that takes me about 30 min

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
