Calories?
3 week stall is typical - Stay on you plan it will break and back to losing

Calories?
Male but i stay around 500 - 600 a day since Surgery and flew the weight off - Now i am going to try and stabilize a little and bump it up a little. Biggest problem at this low calorie count is i am freezing my ass off in Naples Florida? Doing some Cross Fit so i need more protein and a bump in calories. Also running low like this you tend to sleep a lot -

Too Much Soup for One Meal?
I have every soup base there is - Soups and stews are my lifeline still to this day -

Post-Op Diet Restrictions
I am not very long term but i can pretty much handle as above any food, For example this weekend ate a Cookie made for x mas - Also had a slice of pIzza hut pizza. I have found that i really do not care for food anymore so as i switch to the next holding it off phase Im going to be careful. The days of a quarter pounder double and a fries super sized are over, The bread and grease will get you, but in general have no problems eating small little tastes A female friend just said this the other day - Its not like you can not enjoy the taste of food, You can not enjoy the piles of food as you use to. I feel so much healthier and confident now so GUYS going to say it again F@#ck Food!

Too Much Soup for One Meal?
No rubber stopper in the stomach drain - Be careful you send to much thru and going to be a blow out, I could handle a can of soup and water also but would pace it over 15 minutes or so

-
Coffee
No restriction here either - But i do not drink coffee but could if i wanted it

Had surgery on the 18th
Takes awhile i was uncomfortable and miserable for a few weeks - Then like overnight i felt great - Ride it out as for the heartburn get meds for it from your Doc. Soon life will be normal - but we all agree the pre week diet sucks and the first few weeks after suck. But its worth it big time
