Yes, weigh it. Saying a large mozzarella ball doesn't provide a good enough perspective to determine calories or Protein.

We are given Protein and Water goals at first because that is where the focus needs to be. Calories can be made up of numerous things that won't help healing and losing. Many people would be very creative with such latitude.
Once on solid foods, my surgeon said 800 - 1000 calories if I wanted to count them. At 6 mths out I still focus on Protein and the calories fall into place at about 800 -900 a day.

When my head wants to eat, I get a glass of Water first. It usually takes care of it. Who would have thought water would do that? Things are changing mentally as well as physically.

Agree that you will guessing at this point. Also depends on style of dress. There are some online weight loss calculators you can search for to give you an estimate of how much you may lose or will weigh by wedding time. Perhaps the gown fitters could help you determine the size to order from that.

I went with Dr. Fox and have never felt judged by him. I like the small office and personalized treatment. He is an excellent surgeon and has personal discussions at my followups, even called me at home 2 days after surgery. A consultation couldn't hurt.

Visualization helps too. Picture a person of the size you have as a goal. Start with a picture from a magazine or an old picture of yourself. Look at the picture and then close your eyes and see it in your mind. Repeat everyday.

I've never been lactose intolerant and I can go to purée on Friday

Many people develop an intolerance after surgery. My surgeon said it can be temporary or permanent. Maybe try another Protein Shake with different ingredients to see if it still happens.

It is best to follow your surgeons plan. Do they allow other things? Sounds like full liquids stage and that was it for me.

Lactose intolerant perhaps?

I'm right there with you. I didn't expect this to be as hard as it is. I'm also 4 days postop. I know this pain will end and that eventually I'll be able to eat again. I have so many concerns. I hate chicken broth and so I'm having a hard time getting the Protein in that I feel my body needs. I feel like I'm starving myself, but I don't want to eat anything. I want to eat everything, but I don't want to eat anything. Does that make sense? I'm also such a picky eater and am just scared of malnutrition. Drinking plenty of Water and I found some Protein Powder that can be added to Water. I just hope that's enough. I also don't want to lose my hair. It's my favorite thing about myself. Just a lot of worry over here. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
So, I don't know a single person who does want their hair to fall out. There is not much you can do about that. However, you can make yourself get in the liquids and Protein that your doctor requires right now. Sometimes we just have to do things we don't like, but it is for a short period of time. Being a picky eater won't lead to long term malnutrition and hopefully that will help you make healthy choices.
One more thing, let the worry go. This is a complete lifestyle change now and not a diet. Your journey will be much more pleasant if you don't worry thru it.

The seeds pose a big risk of getting caught in your staple line. Wait a while longer on that. I don't know what hemp hearts are.

I also have a cold and was told to gargle with crest pro health antibacterial mouthwash. Also took the Tylenol cold meds. Finally feeling better.

That is pretty normal. It takes time for us to change our image of what we think we look like.

I don't eat any kind of bread because it takes up too much space in my sleeve. If it is on your plan you have to decide if it is worth it.

Shouldn't I feel more sick?

Many of us have never felt sick. That is a good thing! Don't borrow trouble where there is none.
