When I was on the soft food stage, I could eat about 500-600 very slowly. This included Protein Shakes. It's hard to get your Protein in, so make sure you still have protein shakes or powder in your diet. Good luck!

45 seems low. My surgeon said 65g/day, but even that was low compared to most of the people on this site. I shoot for about 80/day. I am three months post sleeve

When I was on soft food my daily targets were: under 800 calories, max 60 carbs, minimum 75 grams Protein.< /p>

45 grams does seem super low. I was told to push my way up to 100 grams as soon as I was able. I would say I got about 450-550 calories a day in my soft food stage. Pushed hard to get it up over 800 as early as possible.

My Program recommends Protein Shakes to get the recommended Protein rather than getting them with food at this stage. They also recommend eating 5-6 times (3 hrs in between) and not to concentrate on calories.. All plans are different so call your Nutritionist and see what they recommend.

      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.
