What are you eating in terms of calories/carbs/protein?



Recommended Posts

No matter how much guidance I got from my NUT and my surgeon, it never feels like enough advice on how much to eat.

What numbers do you try to stay at for calories, carbs, Protein, etc.?

I've been trying to stay between 750-900 calories, less than 60 carbs, and 90 or more carbs per day. Lately, I feel like maybe I could go a bit higher on calories.

How about you?

I was told less than 50 carbs but calories are about right. May depend on your height.

When my Nut found out that I was swimming three times a week she said I needed "more" carbs and put my number at 50-70 (for my average 800 calories a day).

I can see why I am not losing weight now. I have been sticking to 400-500 calories a day. Can I ask how much weight you all are losing? I am very discouraged.

I eat about 800-1000 calories a day. I have lost 90 lbs since 10 day pre op diet. I also work out 3x a week

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
