is it possible to have too calories



Recommended Posts

I just tracked my calories for the last several days, and I haven't broken 900 calories. I probably won't break 600 today.

I'm not hungry and I'm not tired.

I'm still on mostly liquids, only now venturing into the wide world of mush.

21 pounds! I didn't want to go to the gym to weigh myself, because I was afraid I hadn't lost any weight last week, but I did, 9 entire pounds. I don't know where it came from though. I haven't lost a size.

Vines queen I had the same problem and was worried but once I went to mush and solids it all changed. It is good that you are not tired with too few calories that was a biggy for me I was exhausted when I was under 1000 calories, no energy. Hopefully it will change for you too once you start mushy foods. SOmetimes we dont lose when taking in that lilte bit and our bodies go into starvation mode and conserves every calorie it takes in. It is great you are losing taking in so little!!

HOT DAMN GIRL!!!! Crystal you are rockin' that scale!!!

Do try to keep up your cal. as much as possible that way it will be a smoother transition when you switch to whole foods which may contain higher cals. than the liquids your currently on.

Than again - who am I to talk-LOL LOL I am not even banded! LOL

      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.
