Snacking

[kayelly 6]

I can barely get in my meals and fluids, am I supposed to be able to get in Snacks as well?

I have my post op appointment next week and I am afraid I'm doing this wrong.

I am on puréed food

Typical day

Premier Protein shake for Breakfast

Cottage cheese mixed with GENEPRO Protein powder for lunch

Homemade hummus for dinner

And Water in between about 1.5 litres

Am I eating enough?

Yes, that's plenty, we are actually supposed to avoid trying to snack between meals!! Which I'm 3 weeks post op and I don't have a problem with not snacking, and I feel great!!!

The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

Weight loss is achieved after surgery through meal volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your Protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein shakes.
