Caloric Intake ~ 2 Weeks Out, Onward



Recommended Posts

Hey peeps, sorry if this has been asked a lot...

I am 2 weeks out and now cleared for soft foods for the next 4 weeks. I am drinking shakes and blended homemade high Protein Soups, getting in an average of 600 calories a day. I am tracking food/exercise in myfitnesspal. Getting my 10000 steps in plus 30 mins of light cycling.

I had my 2 week post-op visit today and they didn't really have a caloric range, just told me to focus on eating. Fair enough, but I can drink a lot of Protein drinks (Premier Protein, mostly). I am 5'8", now 213 lbs, down 13 from before surgery. Doing chewable Vitamins with no problems.

Can anyone share how many calories you aimed for at this stage or what your doc recommended?

Thanks in advance,

HiHoSleever

At that stage I had no caloric goal. I had a Fluid and Protein goal.

64oz liquid

60-80 grams Protein

Now I'm 7 months out and my calorie goal is 600-800 with the same Fluid and protein goal amounts.

Protein and fluids. I'm 4 months out and I still can't eat good but applesauce, sugar free popsicles, and Jello. Those are the only things that will stay down

Calories are relative to protein. What is your protein target? At your stage (and even now), I don't focus on calories but on protein. My protein target is at least 100 grams.

For sure. I have been averaging about 70 grams. I could up it. What are your main protein sources?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
