Two days out that sounds about right. But you should be introducing Protein Shakes here shortly. That will bump you up to about 500 cal. Stay hydrated!

Mini is right. You have a lot of swelling going on right now, doesn't leave room for too much. Make sure you stay hydrated.

Good Luck & Happy New Year!

Just think next NYs you're going to look awesome. Woohoo

I too only got in 200-300 calories those first few days. My doctor allows solid food after day ten and even eating as directed I'm at 700-800 only. I feel ok so I'm not going to worry. I know I'll be maxing out my 1200 calories soon.

1000 calories a day and 64 ozs gets the weight loss going for me along with daily exercise!

Yes, that is completely normal. That first week, I was lucky to 400 calories a day. Really, your Protein Shakes are all about all you're going to be able to get down and it's all you'll want and be able to hold.

Remember, to walk!!

What is confusing me now is that I am gaining a pound every day LOL. I am taking in 220 calories a day for 3 days straight and am gaining a pound a day. I am being very active all throughout the day, cleaning house, etc. its so strange. I am wondering if i am just going to wake up one day and be 10 pounds lighter?? how could i possibly be gaining weight? it has to all be Fluid. IDK.

It is Fluid. Don't take it to heart and don't overdo it either. Just take care of yourself. You've just had surgery and that's a big deal. Everything else will work out if you settle in and embrace the journey!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
