How do you figure out the nutritional information for a recipe in individual serving?[ Crystal

What is the reason behind talking 30 mins to eat? I am 5 weeks post op from DS surgery and sometimes it is really hard to eat slow and draw it out 30 mins. I am full after I eat, and am not over eating. But why do we have to eat so slow if it goes down well? Crystal

My Nut recommended these during the soft food stage too. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

I was told by my NUT. that at week three you introduce sodium back in your diet again. So you look like you hit a stall when in fact you retain Water. She said between weeks 3 to 6 weeks look at inches lost not just weight. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

Those are the highest Protein goals Ive seen on here. I'm 1 month Post op DS surgery and my goals are 64 oz of Water and 90 grams of protein. And I've lost 31 lbs in 5 weeks. Sounds to me like protein is too high in my opinion Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App

30 min meal breaks only, if you cant finish it in 30 mins your suppose to put it away for a few hours. That what my Nut says Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App
