What are folks eating for amounts?



Recommended Posts

I am about 7/8 weeks out and I am eating about 4 ounces per meal - within about 30 min

Total calories are around 500- 600 for the day

Does that sound about right? I want to maximize my weight loss during his time and I’ve not added anything other than Proteins yet

On my sheet from the RD, that's pretty textbook. So I've vote yes. :)

Yes I think that sounds pretty reasonable. I'm 4 weeks out and eating 3oz Protein meals so by 7/8 weeks you sound about right x

Same surgery date and same amount of calories per day.
I have been stalled for almost 30 days. Upped my Protein over the last couple of days and it pushed calories up to about 800-850 a day. Hoping to break the stall.

I have about 3-4 oz in an hour. I am now 8 weeks out and kinda stalled for about a month now. I have increased my calories to about 800-900 hoping it will help. Just followed about 3 of you cause we have similar dates and stats :)

Wow your loss is great! I had surgery almost same time as you December 16th and was 240 day of surgery but my current weight is 219, got any tips to accelerate my weight loss? I'm afraid that if I start out slow it's only going to get worse from here

Hi, doing great! Congrats on reaching wonderland. My weight actually stalled since we last updated on this post but I have increased my calories to about 700 and I weighed myself yesterday and I'm down 2 lbs so hopefully it will continue.

Thanks for checking!!!

Great to hear all! I think I hit a stall or something—- or def possible that I’m overreacting :). I haven’t moved the scale since Friday. I started more exercise yesterday and upped the protein/ calories to 700 so hopefully that helps?? First stall for me.
@Lilly... not sure other than only eating Protein even though cleared for all foods. I heard advice to stay at this stage for as long as possible bc you can’t go back once you start with carbs and sugars etc?? Don’t know- making it up as I go along :). Haha

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago! 
      This surgery has changed my life for the better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
