Eating 8weeks out



Recommended Posts

Right now I'm eating between 650 and 800 calories a day. I can reach my 65g of Protein, and I can hold about 6 oz of food per meal, but I tend to just eat 4oz. 3oz of protein and 1 oz of a veggie. Is this normal 1 1/2 months out? Am I eating too much? My doctor says I'm doing fine, but I just dont want to mess up or stretch my bypass out. I guess I'm paranoid.

Everyone is different.

I was only eating max 500kcal for the first 2 months..

600-800 kcal/day at that point is about average, so you're fine.

I'm 7 weeks out and at my 6 week check up with my nutritionist she said most patients she sees are around 750 or so between 6 weeks and 3 months. I was sitting at around 800 and she wasn't worried about it at all, but after checking my macros did recommend I try to keep my fat a little lower (I was using both cheese and avocado during soft stage).

      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! 😞
