Two weeks post-op

I had my 2 week post op yesterday and my PA told me to get my calories to 1200 (I was previously only able to eat 700-800 each day). She also said meals should be 1/2 -1 cup depending on consistency (1/2 more solid - 1 soup like). You should be satisfied with that amount. I am supplementing with Adkins protein shakes for added calories (boy, what a funny concept for me!). Keep away from high calorie foods - she said one of her clients was eating lobster bisque!!!! Go for nutrient packed foods. My first fill is Sept 1! Good luck to you!!!

Forgot to mention, www.myfitnesspal.com is a wonderful, free site that will help you keep up with your calorie intake. Most phone have an app for this site, so you can add to your diary any time!

I'm three weeks out myself and thoroughly confused. And, I'm worried sick that I'm going to do something to cause my band to slip. I think I've convinced myself I already have! Hang in there! I go to my doctor on Tuesday and hopefully some of my questions will be answered. I've already called my doctors office several times-I would suggest the same if you're really concerned.

Good luck!
