Can you share with me how many calories you getting aday? I'm 8 weeks at 1000 calories. Is that too much

It doesn't sound like too much.

Why are you asking?

The most important thing is: are you getting in your Protein and Water?

I'm 4 weeks out and at 1,000 calories a day too. Saw my surgeon 2 days ago and he said that was perfectly fine as long as the calories are coming from lean Protein and non-starchy veggies.

He said it's not so much the calories but making sure you are hitting the protein goals. Different lean Proteins have different calorie counts.

I am 9 weeks out and get between 80-100 grams of protein. But I chart my intake religiously and only take in around 600-800 calories. I'm 70 pounds down, with 25 of them being from pre op. But I was a self pay so I don't see a nutritionist. Just going off of my bachelors degree in nutrition and nursing degree....that's kinda the same right? Lol

I'm not doing good I'm self paid I'm about 12 week only lost 26 pound can you help me?

I drink premier protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein and only 150 calories. I should also probably tell you that I have a VERY small sleeve. I'm one of those hated people that never ever feel hungry.....just a light headed faint feeling when I miss eating. I work 12 hour shifts. So I drink a protein shake at 6am. Then eat a light Greek yogurt (great value brand, 80 calories, 12 grams of protein) around 10-11am. I eat a cheese stick (6 grams of protein, 50 calories) around 2-3, then drink another protein shake when I leave work at 7pm. When I get home I nibble on whatever my husband had for dinner. Generally I'll have about 3-4 bites of chicken or hamburger or whatever protein he made. I drink to bottles of water while I'm at work then work on a third before I go to bed. I can drink fluids pretty quickly, but can't eat anything thicker than puréed very well. I definitely can't/don't eat bread or starch in any way shape or form. I throw in the 40 calorie fudgesicles, edie's Popsicles 30 calories, Refried beans with cheese and sour cream on days off, cottage cheese. I'm not great with fruits or veggies yet. I hope this helps!!

Thanks
