I just don't know what to do. 400-600 calories on a good day, be glad to be off the liquid diet and I think I'll aftually be about to get more nutrition:( I am taking Vitamins though, at least that!!

You will in time. You're still swollen from surgery and eventually your intake will increase. Meanwhile, enjoy seeing the lbs come off

They are coming off pretty fast! Thanks!!

I am still having this problem 3 months from surgery! Ugh!!!

This is the whole point of the surgery; to have a small stomach. No one in the beginning is consuming alot of calories. I could easily get in 70-80 grams of protein with 600-700 calories.

I am getting my protein in mostly from shakes, yogurts, and gelatein. However, I have problems making it through my 3-4ozs of real protein from food. It takes about 45-60 minutes to finish a crab cake. Is anyone experiencing this?

You will work your self to that point. It doesn't sound like you are that far out. Protein drinks help too.

I am 3 months out and drink a protein shake for my morning meal, 35 grams. It really helps me get my protein in.

I do the same. Even though I am on three soft meals, I have a shake in the morning to get that quick 35-50 grams of protein in early on in the day. That way I reach my protein goals even if I have trouble getting in my mushies.

Protein skake w some Greek yogurt blended in boosts me to 40 grams for breakfast. This helps me a lot

Perfect!!

Question? I will be one week out since surgery. I am able to eat 1/2 cup of food is that too much?

Par for the course, honey. It will get better. Right now, get in what you can and let those pounds come off. Your tummy will heal and you will eventually be able to eat more. Although it feels very strange, it is normal.

I wasn't able to do that but everyone is different. Make that one cup of food really count ~~ make sure it is Protein.
