How many calories in the post opt plan 3 weeks out?



Recommended Posts

Hi i'm going into the 4 week soon I'm like a lot of people on here and hit a stall. But I'm wondering what the calorie limit some have for themselves? I.m following the plan and portion sizes, canned chicken 1 oz , tuna , salmon etc. Protein Shake homemade with 1/8 cup blueberries. 1 oz cod and green Beans with little cheese, of course the 1 oz scrambles egg and tablespoon of mozzarella cheese also a half of avocado. And a snack of sugar free pudding 1/2 cup. Everything i can have in my food binder. I also just stared my lose it app to keep track again. Anyways about 800 900 a day. Would love some others food choices and calories . Thanks :)

I am just starting week 4 but my doctor's plan is only 2-3 tablespoons of food per meal plus one or two Snacks. All meals are spaced out every three hours. I am eating around 400 calories a day but you should follow your doctor's food plan.

You will find that the eating plans prescribed vary greatly from doctor to doctor (or nutritionist to nutrition, for that matter). Like the poster said above, it's best to follow the plan outlined by your own team.

With that said, when I was at the 4 week mark I was taking in probably 300-400 cals on good days.

I'm on week 3. My nut wants us to reach 600 calories a day. Today I aimed for 422. I am a bit under because I can never eat the entire portion besides yogurt in the am.

I log everything on mfp, as best I can.

I eat yogurt with Protein Powder for Breakfast. Oikos triple.

Mid morning i drink a Protein shape boosted with protein powder.

Late lunch i eat this lentil Soup i made. High protein tofu, lentils, Bone Broth, carrots, onions, celery, garlic, spinach, 1 tsp olive oil for entire batch, fresh thyme

Dinner: bibb lettuce, low sodium turkey breast, half a wedge of laughing cow

My nut said to measure by volume (2oz cup or 1/4 cup). Not by weight.

I weigh everything out to make sure i am hitting my protein goals.

Oh and 2 SF popsicles

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
