I have a question I am now on regular foods but they told me to stay away from caffeine as a life long goal does this mean no tea?

Caffeine is a diuretic and with us needing to maintain fluids you will pee a lot that is why we need to cut out caffeine.

I had a 6 ( July 29) week post-op today. I feel better than I have in the past and have even started my daily walking a couple weeks ago. I am currently able to eat chicken, fish, hard cheeses, cottage cheese, applesauce, SF puddings/jello and yogurt. My favorite so far is, Oscar Meyer Deli Turkey and that's pretty much where I get most of my Protein, along with a nectar Fuzzy Navel mixed with CL Sunrise Orange or an Unjury chocolate shake mixed with a little peppermint extract.. My weight loss has been slow and I was concerned, so I asked about it. My caloric intake is not enough is what I was told and then when I add exercise on top of that, I am deinitely not getting enough calories to boost my matabolism. I am curently comsuming anywhere from 600-850 calories/day and then burning around 200-250 calories with walking. My current Fluid intake is around 50-70oz/day and protein is around 55-65 g/day. So my point here is, for those of you that think your weight loss has been slow, try incresing calores.

Muscle weighs more than fat. When you start excersing you might gain muscle mass.

Maybe your not eating enough? The more you burn during workouts, the more you need to fuel your body

Please help, July-2013 buddies!

How many calories per day do you eat? I'm worried that I'm eating too many, but worried about "starvation mode" if I eat too few. What do you guys do? What did your NUT's recommend for this point (I'm just under 8 weeks post-op)?

Thanks!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
