I'm not sure ecactly how much I should try to eat a day???? I'm wondering if I should eat more. Yesterday I ate a sugar free popsicle drank 2 protien shakes and then ate an egg with 2 mini turkey sausages. Drank a 2 bottles of water. That's it. I feel like I should try to eat alittle more? Any advise?

If you go to sparkpeople.com, or myfitnesspal, they will give you your recommended daily calories. For me it says 1430 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week.

How many days post op are you? It sounds like you are on a cross between liquids and solids. My doctor says once you are on solids to only do solids. Liquids slide right through the band. Though I do have greek yoghurt augmented with protein powder and Kashi for breakfast. My doctor does'nt really have me count calories. The Nut however said to shoot for 1200 daily.

My dr allows 5 days post surgery to start solids. But I'm scared to over eat so I try not to rly eat much. Like today so far 1 protein shake for breakfast. Then I've ate a atkins low carb protein bar. That's it so far today. I'm not sure if I should be trying to eat something for breakfast lunch and dinner.

According to your signature line, you're only 5 days postop? At 5 days postop, I was only allowed mushies so the egg, sausage, and Protein bar would be no-no's. Did your doctor give you a postop diet?
