Hello! I am 6 weeks post VSG. I've lost 20 pounds since surgery and 35 all together with my pre-op diet. I'm just wondering how many calories I should be aiming for daily? My nutritionist doesn't like to talk calorie intake at this stage but I'm afraid I'm not eating enough and that's why my weight loss has slowed. So any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!!!

If you reach your protein ad water goals you shouldn't need to worry about calories. Are you reaching those goals daily.

No, I'm really struggling with that, I just get full so fast. It seems like if I get my protein in then I don't get my water in or vice-versa. Do you have any strategies that could help?

400-600 is what I was told!

If your Protein is liquid then you can count it under your Water total.

If you aren't able to get in your protein how were you planning to increase your calorie count (just curious)? Getting in protein and water is my primary focus and it takes me pretty much all day.

Don't worry about calories. If you are meeting your Protein goals you are eating enough. Try to meet your protein and Water goals daily.
