How many calories are you eating several weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I’m 7 weeks posts and still get 550-600/day. I’m wondering if that’s too little.

I would say that sounds about right to me.

Are you losing? That’s what I would be concerned with. 500 calories was too low for me but I’m 5’ 10”. My nut bumped me up a few hundred and I found my sweet spot.

I've been staying around 800, but I'm not losing/stalling, so I think I'm going to go back to 600

I am 8 weeks out.

I eat anywhere from 550-800 calories a day. I've noticed on days I do a harder workout, I do eat to the higher end.

I workout 5 days a week.

I am 6 months and just now managing to get 700ish. I was doing 300-400 up until 2 months ago.

I am 15 or so weeks out and I get about 800 to 100 a day. I usually average around 8 or 900. I have lost 65 pounds with 25 more to go, so I must have found the right level!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
