What Is Your Average Caloric Intake?

[FishingNurse 1,210]

Wow, my doc says no carbonation EVER! Like the rest of my life!

did he say why? My surgeon says its absurd that it would stretch your sleeve-- obviously not a good idea until you're 100% healed

I was told no bubbles for six months. I wouldn't have had the surgery if there was a no bubbles for lifetime LOL I can't live without champagne!

I stick to 1,000 a day. I was about 500 a day until I went on to proper food. We aren't obsessed with Protein Shakes in the uk we just eat normal food.

My surgeon also said no caffiene, no carbonation and no alcohol. She did advise that alcohol can be consumed for speical occasions such as My brithday, New Years and christmas. The reason I'm not allowed carbonation is that it will expand my sleeve and I'm definitely not interested in that at all.

I find it so interesting that each doctor is different in their approach!

I'm 2 weeks out, have lost 43 pounds since the 21st of Feb. My intake is around 500-700 calories a day, but my Protein intake is already in the 60's and 70's due to my wanting to limit loss of muscle mass. My doctor has approved of my diet and is following along closely with what I'm doing.

I am at 800-900 cals a days, my surgeon wants me at 1000 but I'm on liquids still so it's hard. Protein is 60-70. I'm 11 days PO and lost 12lbs the first week and haven't lost any since day 8. Not sure what going on with that

Two weeks out, done with pureed food, startinj "soft" food tomorrow - Protein ONLY. eggs or cottage cheese for Breakfast, fish or poultry for lunch and dinner.

I'm between 600 and 700 calories.

Two weeks out I was still eating chicken broth sneaking a noodle in there so I could chew

I have zero restrictions since 3 months out. I eat anything I want- including carbonation. I have 3-5 beers per week. I drink sparkling Water everyday' date=' multiple bottles. My sleeve isn't larger necessarily-- its just right in my book, I am 15 months out so Its a whole different ball game for me. I could hardly eat 2 tablespoons of anything a month out. I still feel a lot of restriction, I can only eat for example 1 slice of pizza. pre-sleeve it was 6, easy. I am very happy I can eat reasonable amounts of food!! You will see it keeps getting better!!![/quote']

Could you share your height and sw? Your post is refreshing. Sometimes one can feel that if they eat over 700 cals they're failing lol. Very nice post:)

I am 9 weeks out. Average 800-1100 a day. 60-100 grams of Protein, 30-80 carbs. 35 grms of fat. Down 35 pounds. I have a few cheats here and there. But it makes u stall! So i am doing my best to not cheat for the full first 6 months. Hard!! I see my nut tomorrow, will see if a Skinnycow ice-cream bar is a cheat. Hope not.

I am starting week 6 today. I get between 500 - 700 calories most days. My highest day was 900. I still have a 150 calories, 21 grams Protein Shake for Breakfast. I then eat food for the rest of the day and if I am lacking Protein at the end if the day, I have another shake for dinner. I get a minimum of 60 grams protein but I shoot for 75. I keep the carbs below 30 although my Nut said I could have 40. I have lost 36 pounds. 16 pre-op and 20 post op.
