How many calories during puree stage?



Recommended Posts

Hello:) I am almost 2 weeks out, started puree beginning of week 2. I lost 6 lbs. the first 6 days post op, and now I have been stuck at the same weight, actually gained a lb, this past week. I'm doing everything I am supposed to including enough Protein, fluids and walking. I increased my calories the last few days. Still nothing. So, I am wondering, thosee who have had successful weight loss during the puree stage, how many calories are you eating per day? I am frustrated:( Thank you so much!

I never actually pureed anything, was just too disgusting. I opted for lightly scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and yoghurt (plus Protein Shake to get to 70 grams/day). I don't think I've broken 400 calories a day yet!

We were told no certain amount of cals. Just measure your food and only eat the amounts your plan has prescribed.

I didn't count calories till I got to solid foods, odds are you can't eat enough in puree's to matter how many calories. A Stall and possible gain is likely when transitioning between stages, and in my opinion the best thing to do is to stick with your plan as defined by your dr and it will not last. It also seems from what I have read here people in your weight range are even more likely to have the stall and be slower losers but you need to try to stay positive and trust in the plan. Good Luck.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
