Daily calories allowed and serving size after surgery



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
