What do you eat in a day 6 months post op?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I am 6 months post op vsg and I definitely feel like I am able to eat anything much easier now. But because of this I'm at a really tough stall....and I know part of it is because I can get more calories in. So...what did/do you eat in a day 6 months post op?? And how many calories do you take in a day? Thanks!!

I also am curious what others are eating at the four month stage. My nutritionist wants me at 2 oz a meal 3 times a day plus a snack and no more than 600 cals. I am finding it near impossible to meet those limitations and hit the Protein requirements. I find myself getting hungry often. Curious to hear other experiences.

I was getting around 800 calories a day but had stalled, so I upped it to 1000 and started losing weight again. I focus on high Protein, little to no carbs.

I'm right at 6 months. I was for the past few months right at 60-65 g of Protein and getting about 650-700 calories. I am below weight goal so I'm trying to maintain and not lose so I just increased calories to 1000 the past 2 weeks but I'm still losing 2#/week.

      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?
