Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 My nutrionist actually told me to UP my calories because I was only getting in around 500 a day. I think the recommended amount is different for everybody because we all have different starting weights/heights, etc. and some people have unique situations like diabetes or high cholesterol,etc. The BEST thing is to talk to your dr and/or nutrionist but here's what I've been told over and over again. Try to load up on water and non-caffeinated drinks including some teas count towards your water. Try not to drink WITH your meals, drink beforehand. Also, and this is the big one, my nutrionist says to get protein in first and make sure you get enough calories/protein in or your body metabolism will slow down to nothing AND you will also become malnourished. So thats just my 2 cents:) Keep us posted on your progress and take care! Bridget Northam > Hi everyone, I have been reading about how much everyone eats after the > surgery.
