Thanks All. Another question..... are folks eating by ounce or by cup? For example if I have ground turkey - 4 oz is like a cup or so which seems like a lot?? I can at it and am full afterward. It just looks like a lot and wonder if I should be measuring out like a half a cup versus ounces HW 242, SW 236- Bypass 12/20/17 GW#1- 199 [emoji736]. GW#2- 175 CW 195 5’6”

Hi Just curious what folks are doing for caloric intake in this post op range? I was told by my NUT that the longer I can stay off carbs the better since you can’t go back easily once you do. Soooo I’ve stayed at the 5-600 range with the diet of lean meat, dairy etc and haven’t added anything Reading a few posts that staying at a low caloric intake can backfire?? Thoughts?

I did- was 36. I basically had to maintain my weight before surgery but had sleep apnea so that helped approval HW 242 SW 236- Bypass December 20, 2017 CW 195 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

The bypass wasn’t invasive for me at all. 5 small incisions (abt 1/2 inch) i stomach. Was mobile right after surgery and I’d swear I didn’t have surgery . Was really a breeze except gas pain for a day HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

I was only in hospital for 2 days so nothing really was needed. Biotene for dry mouth was only thing I wished for. Bring sweatpants so your walks are less awkward . You won’t be able to put on a shirt bc of the tubes/ wires. Hair elastic! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”
