Those of you that are around 3 weeks post

[TeacherMommy 35]

How many calories are you consuming in a day?! How many grams of Protein are you able to get in?!? What does a typical day of meals look like?! Ok... I thinks that's enough questions for now... Hahaha

I was 3 weeks post op yesterday. I get around 600-700 calories a day and about 80 G Protein.

Wow..you guys are lucky I'm 3wks post op and I can only get in at least 300 if that and only about 30-40 grams of Protein, I drink one Protein Shake for Breakfast, about 2oz of yogurt or 2oz of ricotta cheese.....for lunch, I might have 2-3oz of veggie chilli for dinner or one small scramble egg with cheese in which I can only eat about 2 tablespoons of that....the rest of the day is just water! How are you guys getting in your calories it's a real challenge for me!

For this stage my dr wants me on 3-4 small "meals" and 2 Protein Shakes a day. I have no problem getting my Protein in with that.

Meds with Water, go shower and dress, then hydrate with a cup of herbal tea. 1/2 hour later, 6 oz of Kefir. 1/2 hr later, another cup of tea. Mid morning, 6 oz of greek yogurt or one cooked egg. More hydration if I don't get distracted with work. lunch is 4 oz pasta-less lasagna (cooked chicken, ricotta, spaghetti sauce mixed together) or 4 oz tuna salad (albacore mixed with zucchini relish and mayo). More hydration. Mid afternoon snack is a string cheese or 3 oz of hummus. More hydration. dinner is the lasagna or tuna salad, whichever one I haven't eaten yet that day. More hydration. Evening snack before bed is another 6 oz of Kefir. Protein is averaging 60 grams/day, calories around 700-800.

I had trouble like you...try adding a second (or even third) Protein Drink a day. Replace some of your Water with it. I had to do two up until about six months and at 10+ months I still have to do one a day.

I feel the same way! I can eat and then not be hungry at all. Somedays I feel like eating is such a chore now lol

Hi, I will be four weeks post sleeve tomorrow. I typically eat nonfat plain greek yogurt, or ricotta cheese or egg whites (1/4 cup), and pureed fruit (1/4 cup). lunch is usually tuna or canned chicken, pureed veggies. dinner is pretty much the same. I sip on fluids during the day and get 2 11oz Protein drinks (60g) each.

Good luck!
