Eating 8weeks out



Recommended Posts

Right now I'm eating between 650 and 800 calories a day. I can reach my 65g of Protein, and I can hold about 6 oz of food per meal, but I tend to just eat 4oz. 3oz of protein and 1 oz of a veggie. Is this normal 1 1/2 months out? Am I eating too much? My doctor says I'm doing fine, but I just dont want to mess up or stretch my bypass out. I guess I'm paranoid.

Everyone is different.

I was only eating max 500kcal for the first 2 months..

600-800 kcal/day at that point is about average, so you're fine.

I'm 7 weeks out and at my 6 week check up with my nutritionist she said most patients she sees are around 750 or so between 6 weeks and 3 months. I was sitting at around 800 and she wasn't worried about it at all, but after checking my macros did recommend I try to keep my fat a little lower (I was using both cheese and avocado during soft stage).

      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?
