Today I am 2 weeks post op. preop start weight was 275lbs. Surgery day 260lbs. Today I am 248lbs. Total loss of 27 lbs. I am very confused though. Should I be eating 3 small meals and three small snacks or just three meals. My life style permits just 3 meals. Also I have not been given proper instructions by my nut. I know that upto 60 grams of protein per day. But what should be the max carb intake. What about sodium. What about sugars. Calories I know is also between 1000 to 1200. I am also not a water drinker but try to at least have a liter a day. Please advice. Thanks

Thanks for all your replies. Especially ms Maui, I learnt a lot from your post. Last question is. Lets say I consume 1000 calories a day, does that mean that I have to use all 1000 calories in the day or I won't loose weight ?

Everyone is different but as for me I range anywhere between 700 to 1000 calories per day and I'm not having any issues with an average 2lb per week loss.
