Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 14, 2015 Follow your NUTs instructions. The primary focus post-op is getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Calories are a secondary consideration. Getting in enough Protein and fluids (and vitamins) are critical for both healing and weight loss. Since you are at three weeks post-op, you are probably about to or already experiencing your first stall. Since none of us lose at a constant rate, stalls are a normal part of the process. I recommend you read this post I wrote a while back which may help you. Best of luck with your journey.

tcrehm 101 Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks for the reminder! It is certainly a battle for life that we can't let the food win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arex 9 Posted November 14, 2015 1000 calories/day is fine...on the low side, a little bit. Eventually you'll be shooting for 1100-1300cal/day for weight loss, while keeping your Protein up at about 70-100 grams/day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
