Am I eating too much?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on April 20, 2022. I'm on phase 3 of pureed/ soft food. I'm wondering if I'm eating too much. I eat four times a day, each meal 1-4oz with high Protein. I also drink 64 Fluid oz of Water.

You should have been given a plan but i had surgery 2 days before you and i eat roughly that. typically 3 small meals a day and i drink a little less Water than you.

Well if you are eating closer to the one ounce per serving all day I worry that you may not be getting enough Protein. You may want to supplement with shakes. If you are closer to the 4 oz I think that is close to where I was. Everyone is different though. If your team gave you a plan I would stick to that.

I was told to eat three meals a day from the start of the 4th week onward, and when I say I was "told", I mean they really hammered it into me. Whenever I talk to the nutritionist at my surgeon's office, it's the first thing she's asking me about and the last thing she's reminding me to do.

You're definitely not eating too much. Were you given a plan to follow?

Seems about right to me. Everyone is a little different, some can eat a little more and some a little less.

Just stop when you are full or feel restriction, I assume you already do since you range between 1 and 4oz.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I talked with my team, and they said everything was going well. As long I hit my Protein goals and keep track of how much I consume everything is going perfectly well.

      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.
