Recommended Posts

Right now I'm on Stage 3 eating pureed foods. 2oz of Protein and 1 oz of vegies or fruit. I'm also drinking the clear Isopure protien. What stage of eating are you at?

im almost 17 months post op. eating whatever i want basically.

id say you are about on target with your cals, just wont be able to really push yourself exercise wise.

i burn about 5-700 cals when i work out intensely... only eating 500 cals, no way i could do that. :biggrin:

i had such a lack of energy at the stage your at...i just walked, and each day added a few more minutes, with the more calories i added.

i'm just about 4months out - i get around 700/800 cal per day, pretty restricted right now....sorta had to remind myself "it's" meal time.

good luck ~

Thanks for your response, I just spoke with the doctor's office and they indicated that I would probably get dizzy working out hard at such a low caloric intake, she says if this happens I should increase to 700-800 calories.

I'm running my first 5K on the 17, I know W00T go me, (said sarcastically). I've been running indoors, but it's time to take it outside. I have four runs between here and there.

I'm in Ohio, where it's just about freezing. Burrrrrrrrr.

Running today 3.5 miles, outside, in the cold.

      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.
