How many calories are you eating 3 weeks or more post op?



Recommended Posts

I get between 700-800 3.5 weeks post op....this includes 30 carbs, 70 Protein and 30 fat...but my carbs and fat are usually slacking a little....I am not really losing any weight and my nutritionist is not too concerned, but wants me to watch it for the next couple weeks since I am not eating that many cals....Do you think if I increased my caloric intake I would lose more weight? I am going in for my 1st fill on Monday, which she does not think will make a great difference since I am not eating alot...any help is appreciated!! I am very strict will logging on daily plate too...so I know my cals are accurate!!!! Again any insight is greatly appreciated!:biggrin:

I was banded 2.5 weeks ago. I eat between 800 - 1000 cal/day. I haven't lost much since week one. After attending support group meetings and talking with my nutritionist, I am not going to fret over it. I was told the body needs adjusting and that takes time. Are you exercising? That could help.

Thank Goodness I saw this! I am also 2 1/2 week post-op & have stopped losing. I am not eating alot (500-900) per day. It is all mostly Protein because that's what my Dr prescribes. And I'm thinking What the Heck! So what's the deal? We're adjusting? I am so glad others are wondering, too.

I am 5 weeks post op and eating between 900 - 1200 calories a day. The past three weeks I have lost 1lb each week. I go for my first fill next week so I hope that will help some.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
