How do i get my calories?



Recommended Posts

Breakfast: 1 egg and 8oz of juice 130 cals

Snack: Protein shake 120cals

Lunch: Greek yogurt 65 cals

Snack: cheese stick 50cals

Dinner: Ricotta bake 130cals

Total: 500cals and 46G of Protein

My NUT wants me at 800cals and 60-80 grams of protein. How in the world do I do this? I can add another Protein Shake and that will get my protein up but she doesn't really want me to drink. She wants it to come from food. Any ideas/suggestions? What do you all eat in a day to get your numbers up?

Take skimmed milk and add two dates in it and a little Caedmon power! Tastes really good! Dates are good for heart and hav loads of calories!

Cottage cheese is a really good source of Protein. It's also very tasty if you scramble 1/4 c of it with an egg. You could also try mixing flavored or unflavored Protein Powder with your greek yogurt to boost protein and calories.

it "looks" like from the food you are eating/drinking you are on the soft stage???? maybe 6-7 weeks PO???

i am surprised at this early point saying you should 800 calories???, but all NUTS are different

Add cottage cheese, another yogurt , cheese (babi bell is delicious)

i'm sure you'll get other suggestions

good luck :)

btw - i guess thats why tickers are helpful, so ppl can see DOS, weight et al - just a comment/suggestion to all - (you know who you are :lol: :lol:)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
