I am 9 weeks post op today and I have lost 48 pounds. I would like to lose another 15-20 pounds. Once I hit my goal weight how do I stop losing? I hit my Protein and Water goal daily however I am only eating about 500-600 calories. My Doctor has told me I should be eating 1000-1200 per day. This seem impossible!

Thank you I'm not a huge fan of cheese. I have no idea why he is pushing it. Thanks for your help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Doctor has told me to eat more cheese. I am still on the puree stage. What type of cheese were you able to eat at this stage? Thanks.

After surgery am I allowed to have chewing gum or sugar free mints? Is it ok to use mouthwash and brush your teeth straight after? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for your reply. I feel a lot better about going now. The food was the only thing I was worried about. As long as I avoid rice I should be fine. Good luck with your surgery! I'm so excited and scared It will be worth it.

How long were you on a liquid diet for? My Doctor has told me I will be on liquid only while in hospital for 3 days and then straight to pureed for 4 weeks before introducing solids. Has anyone got any recipe ideas they could share to help try and get 60g of Protein? Thanks you

I am booked in for surgery on the 11th of May I am booked to go to Thailand on the 5th of October for 3 weeks. Should I cancel? My Doctor seems to think it will be OK. He said after 6 weeks I will be fine to travel. Has anyone else traveled after there operation? Will I be OK to eat the food over there?
