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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
