Hi all. i'm just wondering about how many calories everyone is eating. I'm 4 months post op and I feel like I'm hungry all the time. I try and watch and be careful, but I admit I have given into my sweet tooth and had some of the mini 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches. I seem to be able to eat almost everything. I have not and will not try anything fried. I keep telling myself not to eat since that's how I got fat in the first place. I seem to be eating around 1100 to 1200 calories per day and yes I'm getting in all of my protein and water and I exercise with a trainer 3 days a week. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

kmiller- I am 4 months po and WISH i can make it to a 1000 calories! Last mobth I was able to eat any and everything except sweets and friedfoods and would be hungry all the time and then all of a sudden Im in this situation as if Im newly post op again. So, I am just as curious as you:)

I am six months post op and am lucky to get 800 calories a day. Still never hungry. But I focus on my protein first. On the up side I am fully satisfied as far as my hunger goes which is a blessing as I never knew that feeling before!!

I am almost 5 months post op, I have tried almost all foods... meaning a bit or a very small piece. I was a bit confused that where my dr. said you will dump if you have sweets and fats, etc. etc. Some things I know will not sit right as soon as I have it but other things that I have tried I would think that would make me sick and it has not. Of course I am eating healthy and stay away from the foods that got me here in the first place but it is the curiosity. I think each of us are different and will react in different ways to foods. I do not count calories but go by ounces with my food. I make sure I get my protein and water in daily along with my vitimas. I follow my drs. plans and at times I am hungry but if I have a pretzel or something small it goes away. There is no way I can eat as much as I did before surgery.

I am three months out and eat about 700 - 800 calories a day and get in over 70g of protein a day, with a goal of over 80. Sometimes to get that many calories/protein I have to eat three snacks and not two, which makes me feel guilty. Go figure.

My dr said 60 grams of protein and 64 ounces of Water. I drink the premier nutrition Protein shakes and they have 30 grams per shake. I get them from costco but sam's carries them as well.

The water will keep you from getting dehydrated.

Try to get as much of the protein as you can in right now. It took me a few weeks before I could get the water and protein in. I still struggle with the water some days and I'm 9 weeks post op.

Ok thank you

Are the premier shakes good? What flavors do they come in?

After a while it's easier to drink. I can drink regularly and not just sip. So getting in my water is no problem anymore. I use Unjury protein powder. Love it. The vanilla mixed into lite V8 fusion is awesome!

I actually like them. The costco here has vanilla and chocolate. They also sell strawberry on the premier nutrition website. Id get 2 of the 18 packs about every 2 weeks when I was doing 2 shakes a day. My nutritionalist recommended them. Sometimes I add a little Peanut Butter to the chocolate ones.
