I'm wondering from ppl that are around 6 weeks post op...what are your macros & calories? Daily protein? Are you still losing?

how many meals are you eating daily?

Thanks [emoji846]

I’m eating 3 meals a day. 70-80 grams of protein. 700-800 calories. The scale is going down. I’ll hit week 4 on Tuesday. I’m eating soft food at this time.

I’m 6 weeks out…. I went back to a shake for breakfast plus 2 meals of usually about 200 calories each plus a couple of appx 100 calorie snacks. Average 700-800 calories per day.

I am 5 weeks out. Doctor daily recommendations:

• 100-120g of protein/day.
• 800-1000 calories (or 600-800, if I wanted to 'push it')
• 50% protein, 25% veggies, and optionally 25% carbs.

Meal wise:

• Protein shake for breakfast.
• Protein shake midmorning, after workout.
• 2 meals (lunch / dinner)
• 1 snack.

I am currently doing 600-700 cals / day

At six weeks out I was around 800 calories a day (I know this because my former NUT blew a gasket at how much I was eating...). Now at twelve weeks out I am eating around 1400.

At 6 weeks out, I was averaging about 800kcal a day, 70g protein min, 50g carbs max. Around 6 weeks is when I hit mostly "normal" foods per my plan, and I've been about that ever since. Some days are a little more, some a little less. I am a little "behind" where my program would have me. They suggest closer to 1000kcal per day, especially now that I've started introducing regular exercise again, but that is really a stretch for me. So I'm just focusing on making sure I'm hitting my protein and fluids and listening to my hunger queues. There is no right or wrong, and every program has their own guidelines. Listen to your surgeon/dietician and if you need more personalized guidance, don't hesitate to seek it out!
