Lolo 2020

But eventually they want u to transition out of the shakes over time

My dietician suggested nibbling on a low fat mozerella stick

Omg vic , thanks so much for ur note . This journey is new and frankly there isn’t much guidance really for the doctors or nutritionists . We’ve all taken this huge surgical step, know it’s a tool not a cure and expect no hunger at all - so to be ravenous literally one week after surgery is mind boggling ! Guess the route is to take deep breaths and stick with the program . A friend of mine who did it did say the weight loss was incredible in the first 30 days so to take advantage of it , as it slows down .. but she is modeling now so it took very well !

I am one week post op and had a call with the nutritionist yesterday , am scheduling a chat with her monthly. I am ok with eggs starting the purée phase which is 2 weeks post surgery

I had surgery the 20 th - the 27 th I get 2oz protein 3 x a day - plus 2 shakes . This chart helps

I travel too, i bought some Medi diet clear protein to put in soups. I also bought isoprene tropical fruit punch to put in a shaker bottle, can just buy water and mix once through security.

Nope - 600 for the first month and 6-800 months 2-3

I’m so busy with work and life , thebshakes are easy . It’s nice to have some sort of nice meal like thing . As long as I am not hungry I am good!

I am an athletes as well and spin and ride horse so am an athlete as well. I feel good at 70-80g of protein now and 600 ish of calories . I am losing almost 2 lbs a day so something is right !😊

I am probably going to do shakes all day , then do a dinner at night . The whole no drink within 30 min of eating thing is confusing so figure I’ll just do it at night ! LOL thats basically what I was doing with my pre op diet and it seemed to work

I spoke to my nutritionist today and also laid it down for her and she was like, yes , of course you should be eating at least 600 calories and 60 g of protein! ! Duh! No one told me that !

Day 4 my body woke up and did the same thing ! Scared me to death ! But I was only drinking broth and water to that point and it was like, eat something real ! Once I started drinking the shakes and getting some protein in my body that extreme hunger went away .

I like ur plan better !😊

Man, my doc says no solids for a month

I’m at about the same place . 6 days post op , but I thought we had to wait 2 weeks before purée ?

How many days out of surgery are u ?

I’ll have to Try those ! How many grams of protein in the clear drinks ?

My nutritionist said just be sensible - ur can eat 600-800 calories a day and try to get at least 60g protein - I am 5 days post op and eating about 550 a day with 70g-80 g protein . I’m also pushing the walking though ...

I started to feel normal day 5 post op and definitely day 5. I’ve been taking a little liquid Tylenol at night , but don’t really need it now so I will skip tonight . I am wrestling with having to eat so often and I am doing a lot so when I run out of gas (like tonight! ) it’s a challenge because I can’t get much food in me . Definitely a work in progress ! My suggestion is try to get back to normal and move as much as possible , but be kind to yourself and take rest breaks as needed !

Wow , had no idea Burman is we’re so involved ! I am 6 days post op so waiting on my biz

Also I do quite a bit of running around as well for my work , easily get 10k steps a day before doing my spin class 4x a week and yoga 1-2 days , plus riding my horses . Hoping to get back to that level of activity within the first month post op.. assume I should try to get that 1100-1300 cal level and try to work towards 100 g of protein ? I burn like 400-500 cal in spin

Yup hurt to swallow until day 5 post op . Then I woke up and all good . Just gotta wait for the inflammation to recede from the surgery and repair

Omg thank you so much !! I don’t have this in any of my materials ! I am big into following guidelines and this will be super helpful - I want to lose the weight healthfully but quickly . What I have learned is the goal is to max ur protein in the most calorie efficient way and for sure that is protein shakes . Thanks for sharing this ! Great roadmap !

Had mine on the 20 th - also had hernia repair - first day or 2 is tough but gets better quick . I am 5 days post op and feel totally normal today
