I’m told by my nutritionist that I should have all of my protein within 200-400 calories per day in these first two weeks post-op. Except it’s been a week and a half and I’ve lost 21 pounds, and I feel very weak most of the time (I needed to lose 75 more to get to my goal weight - now 54 lbs). When I google, all I get are diets explaining THAT post-op folks should limit their calories to approx. 300 calories, but not WHY. Any insight?

Thanks for the perspective; it’s good to know that others have different experiences and plans. I’ve emailed my nutritionist and hope to hear back soon. I’m hitting my protein mark daily and am doing exceptionally well with my water intake. I average 80 - 100 oz daily. I kinda had to hit the water hard immediately post op as I had an alarming reaction to the pain meds I was sent home with. One way to help it go away was to put as much water in my body as I could.
