100 G Protein And 600 Calories?



Recommended Posts

I've mainly been walking (about 3 miles each time)...nothing major yet. I just joined a gym and want to start spin classes soon. My energy level isn't bad, which is surprising.

Before surgery I dropped weight very quickly by eating about 700 calories and spinning 4 days a week. I also started becoming really good buds with the floor. I began fainting a ton and feeling super weak. I was fine for a month or two, but then it hit me and I felt like crud. I actually got super sick as well and my doc basically said that I messed with my body too much. I was burning 900 - 1000 calories in a spin sesh.

Anywho, when you start spinning you NEED to up your calories. Remember to make up for whatever you burn. You will not gain weight from this because you are still under your bodies basic caloric needs to function.

Yowsers. Why are you trying to stay under 600 calories per day? Is that Dr orders?

Remember' date=' you can exercise, so if you are able to do an additional 200 calorie burn, you add 200 to whatever daily intake ...

600 ... I was doing that a couple weeks post op, but to maintain that level won't be good in the long run. You can't get enough carbs in for energy.[/quote']

How many carbs do you need daily?

Im asking cause I get any where from 300+ to 650 calorie intake daily. My surgery was July 16.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
