Daily Nutritional Goals



Recommended Posts

What are everyone's nutritional goals? I haven't really seen anything beside eating >30grams of Protein every 3 hours and <6grams of cards. But daily whats you Calorie intake, protein intake and carb intake???

My daily intake is a goal of 1000 calories, more than 64 grams of Protein and less than 60 grams of carbs. I have never heard of the requirement by hours.

I have never counted anything. I eat what I want, when I want. Rule of thumb is eat your Protein first, veggie then fruits. bread last. I use toddler plates to prepare my meals. Biggest portion meat, 2nd slot veggies then tiny piece of bread. I have had many tests since surgery that show all my Vitamin, protein, etc levels are in normal limits. That's just how i do it. Don't have a clue how many calories, fat grams, grams of protein etc. This is a life style change, not a diet...so my counting days are over :) I eat until I am satisfied and then stop. I also make common sense choices about what I am eating. (However I do not do sugar free, fat free etc. YUCK)

About all I watch is Protein. If I'm losing 2-3 lbs a week, I'm good.

I just started using myfitnesspal.com and their suggestion of calories was 1370 a day (I put in my current weight, my goal weight and that I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week!) it's been working great so far!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
