Major Mistake

Well I did a Stupid thing....hope I can fix it....I mistakingly calculated my food intake wrong for the last 2 weeks....1 on full liquids and 1 week on puréed. Eating to much -trying to get in 70 grams of protein. Thank God I discovered it now-but is it to late? Has the damage been done? I feel really bad and extremely MAD - at my Stupidity!! Anyone know how to fix this? Other then getting back on the rights amounts....Can I reverse the damage?

You havent done any damage other than just to much intake. Getting in all your protein is hard especially in the 1st few months from what I have been told. You are do great. just take each day as a new day and just take that as it comes

Not sure what you mean. I have only in the last 2 months calculated my food. And that's only been a few times.

im going on week two and getting protein in is extremely difficult with just shakes, especially since they are thick and gross. I cant wait until i can eat the majority of my protein with good foods.

Don't we need at least 70 grams of protein?

yeah mine dr says 60-70 but sometimes its really hard to get in, for me anyways only because im just on shakes (Nasty shakes) that make me really full

No you will be fine!

You didn't mess up anything, you'll be fine.

I miss read the paperwork....ate 3-4 oz's of puréed food instead of 3-4 tablespoons....stalled now at 3 wks post....but thank God I'm reading that's normal.

I just started week 2 post op. I agree I am so tired of the protein shakes. I can't wait to week 3 When I can add cottage cheese and eggs But I can't argue with my weight loss so far. Pre op diet weight -293, today's weight -267.

My paperwork does say 2 to 3 oz but I can only get in about 1.5 oz (3tbsp) max of puree foods if that and I'm really struggling to get in enough liquids and protein... I envy you!!!
