RE: Post-op Nutrition Breakdown..To Candi

[Guest guest]

Candi,

Yes, I was able to drink that much a week after surgery. It includes 5 cups

of milk along with the added powder. I split the drinks into 5 servings a day

where I sit and sip over a period of time. I also drink 32 - 64 oz of water

throughout the day in-between. These are all part of our recommendations and

the bariatric team is happy with how I am doing. I see online that each

program throughout the country have their own recommendations and each person

has

their own tolerance of what they are able to do.

Candi,

Yes, the calorie breakdown is from the milk, carnation instant breakfast and

protein powder mix. I took the information from all the labels, put them in

the www.fitday.com site to get the breakdown. I'm wondering what other people

have been asked to do by their surgeons and what the nutritional breakdown is.

No I wasn't talking about the fluids...I think I was talking about the

calorie breakdown. Or were the calories from what you were drinking?

Oh I see. I was thinking that at 4 weeks you were able to consume enough

solid food to make up those numbers. I am still no where close on that. I

don't know what it was when I was on liquids because I don't think I ever

counted.
