I am 3 weeks post op and I am still struggling to get in my calories and Protein. I log everything in my fitness pal and I am averaging about 550 calories and 50-60 grams of protein a day. Is this normal in the beginning? My next appointment with my Surgeon is on the 27th and at my one week post op appointment he said he may consider a fill, but I'm wondering if I will even need it.

If you guys need to up your Protein, have you tried Protein Shots? I like the brand that Walmart carries, and I got one online called Sunkist Protein ... each has 24g of protein and like under 150 calories in 3 oz of liquid.< /p>

Thanks for posting the diet and sample menus. I need all the help I can get in that area. I eat like 1300 cals a day minimum and I need to bring that WAY down

I stay at a minimum of 1200 calories on most days. Keep in mind I exercise 6 days a week (we are talking intense exercise) so I will have problems maintaining enough energy if I go too low. I track my calories to be sure I eat enough. If I'm too low I will do one of three things; protien drink, protien bar, or juiced fresh veggies/fruit.

I do have 3 meals and 2 Snacks. A snack can be something as simple as a cheese stick or a little Greek yogurt. I find I end up starving if I skip my snack time. Starving is bad for me because then I eat too fast and can get stuck. I try to avoid feeling that hungry.
