yes you can drink Water after or during trying to get a shake down. and my nut as well says to only give myself 30 min a meal and then stop if i cant finish it. then every 2 hours go back to it if you want. the main goal is Protein and staying hydrated for the first few weeks though. it gets much easier! best of luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

thank you so much! i will continue doing what im doing then Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

my Protein intake is my main priority and not the issue. my nut wants me under 800 calories right now and what im asking is do i count my protein drink calories with that. thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i always make sure to have a Protein bar stashed in my purse. sargenteno makes little snack cups with cheese and nuts that are easy to bring anywhere too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

should i be counting my Protein drinks with my daily calorie intake or just focusing on food?! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i wasnt cleared to do anything but walk until 6 weeks out. not even lift anything over 10 pounds. i think its to make sure we dont give ourselves a hernia. i would walk around the house all day and vacuum or dust. needless to say i had a very clean house for 6 weeks haha! take it easy and good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

if you like buffalo chicken things i suggest some buffalo chicken won ton rolls. i baked chicken breast, shredded it, mixed some hot sauce or whatever you prefer in it then put a tiny bit on a won ton wrapper and sprinkled some bleu cheese crumbles in it then wrapped them up. i baked them at 395 but no certain time, i just checked them every few minutes until they looked toasted/crisp! so so good. i also have been making won ton pizzas. chipotle has also been really good, you can get a single taco and pick from it or a kids meal. very yummy and has sat in my stomach well.

my Protein goal my surgeon set for me right now is 60g, i get almost 80g in most of the time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i will definitely ask about that because i shouldnt be this hungry during the day! thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i think 3 weeks is perfect! by the second week i was starting to get anxious to get back out there so i think by the third you will be good! best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

hello! im about 7 weeks post op and im not sure what my calorie intake should be. i see my surgeon in a week and will ask him as well but what was your calorie intake at this point and did your plan call for snacks between meals? right now im trying to stay at 800 calories max with one snack between lunch and dinner but im still finding myself hungry throughout the day and would like to have a mid morning snack. i would love to hear anyones experience/input! thanks! i drink 40g of protein a day, get the rest of protein in through my meals, plenty water, and no more than 2oz of food at a time.
