I'm at a stand still about ideas of what to eat at my 6 wks post op. Any ideas?

Steak! I had a filet at 4 weeks and it was delicious!

How many ounces were you able to eat at 6 wks?

I can eat about 3-4 oz up to 6 depending on the food.

Right now I can eat half a hamburger patty with some cheese and a slice of bacon. Another meal is 2 slices of deli meat with a triangle of laughing cow cheese in a rollup situation. If I'm doing canned chicken with buffalo sauce, I can eat 3/4 of the can no problem.

3-4 ounces depending on the density of the food. I ate a packet of the Starkist Tuna Creations and it was yummy. I think I ate about 2 ounces of steak and an ounce of a sweet potato. I'm at 8 weeks now and it's probably close to the same. I had the tuna tonight and didn't eat the whole 2.8 pouch - i had a few rice crackers with it.

My average calorie intake per day for the last month has been 700 calories.

Wow! My calorie intake is over 1000! I have wondered if that was too many! I am 4 weeks post op! Since the surgery, I have lost 8 pounds. You have me thinking I am eating to many calories!

When I went for my 6 week check up my surgeon said not to go over 1000 calories a day. But it can be different for anyone. Probably depending on your starting weight, etc. If cal the office and ask if you're unsure.

I am 6 wks post op and have lost 49 lbs , but now my weight is stuck there. I wonder why I stopped losing. Has anyone went through this?

I just had my surgery last Monday, so I am not as far along as you, but I wonder where you get your recipe ideas from. Right now it all sounds so good to me!

I have been getting a lot of my recipes from Bariatricfoodie.com and Theworldaccordingtoeggface.com these websites are awesome. Hope they help .

Thanks, I will try both of these

@MrsG#1 it could be a number of things. Stalls are normal. Try drinking more water. Flush out your system might help.

What date was your surgery 4th July was mine, and I am allowed to eat anything I want.

1000 CALORIES AT 4 WEEKS?? How ?? I have never seen that. Is this what your surgeon asked you to be on? If yes then wonderful, but I would love to know what you could be having to put you at 1000 already, sorry for my shock lol . i know all plans vary but if you are at 1000 cals at 4 weeks what will you be on at 3 months?
