Average calories in the first few weeks?



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op and up to 600 calories. Is that about right for liquids and puréed? I can do about 1/4 cup of puréed Soup or pudding/yogurt. I feel better at 600-700 than I did at 400. Just curious what's normal - if there is such a thing. I'm hitting Protein and fluid goals.

I am at 13 days post op. And doing about 400 a day plus between 60 and 70 protien. I am not supposed to be on pureed foods yet. If I was I am sure I would be at between 600-800 a day. I would say 600 is normal if you are doing pureed already.

600 - 800 is the range my doc set for me, but it was weeks before I was able to get in that many calories. Everything cause stomach distress. I thought my sleeve was trying to grind up rocks with every bite! :-P

Mine did not like pintos and cheese. I think it was too high in fat. I'm gonna try homemade next time. I ate 2 T of hummus tonight and it was heavenly. If anyone had told me I'd eat hummus without crackers/bread Ida told them they were nuts. But just to taste something not sweet and not Soup was heavenly! Not much Protein but oh well.

      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!!
