Meal Portions, Calorie/ Protein Intake.



Recommended Posts

Sooo confused!! Hope someone has some answers for me :)

I had a slippage this past week.. So they emptied my band.. And need my stomach to shrink back down through the band.. All the doctor told me was to do 4 wks liquid/ purée.

Soo 1/2 cup portions? Cup? 3 meals total? Or Protein Drinks I between?

From my research I've found 70-80 G Protein a day. 500-800 calories a day. I made tons of puréed soupsast night and would love to know how to portion them.

Thanks for any suggestions!!! :)

Unfortunately, you're going to have to go back to your doctor and ask him for those specifics. You're trying to recover from a slipped band, so your dietary needs aren't going to be the same as the rest of us. Plus, every doctor handles slips differently. What works for one may not work for another and you need to do specifically what is advised for your situation.

Call and ask for more specific instructions. It's the only way you're going to know you're doing the right thing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
