Hi folks

I had surgery October 15 , 2015. I've lost some weight but not what I thought I would by now. It's definitely slow for me. I have a problem with cafeinted drinks and good food. Can anyone please help me with these areas. ? I drink roughly 120 ounces of water daily n try to eat right Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't figure out my serving sizes and all of that.

Thank you

And God bless

Will

Do you still follow up with your surgeon? I would schedule an appointment with both the nutritionist and Psych (to deal with food/caffeine issues). Are you tracking your food - protein, carbs, calories? What is a typical day eating look like?

Usuallybu cant eat much even if u wanted to so im not counting calories. Water, Protein shakes, an egg here n there, some chicken. I may try yams soon. Tried rice n puked. Im 2 months since surgery. 1 pc of whole wheat toast i tried, 2 i cant.

How much Protein are you eating? What is your protein target?

2oz of a Protein, 8oz of a liquid (yogurt, pudding, Soup, shake exc.) should be your serving size.

Eat your protein first, then veggies and if you still have room then a carb/starch. I rarely have room for anything but my protein. Most of the time I can't finish that without feeling satisfied.

My calories at this point is 600-800. I'm still in the losing phase. I doubt my surgeon will increase this until I'm maintaining.

My target goals are 100 gr protein and 64oz Water. Some don't track calories..just protein, carbs and water. I track to make sure I hit the min calories because I'm still not feeling hungry and I can't rely on my body to tell me to eat.

Thank you all for the advice. Can I drink more water than that 60 ounces and my calorie goal is 1000. Is that too much or too little.
