Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 honestly, my doctor was not concerned about calories. only concerned with protein intake. as long as i was and am getting enough protein, the calories will follow also. julia in delaware lap rny 3/10/04 261/171/120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 The intake should never (later) get over 800 cal. How about soups (Egg drop soup). You do have to get some carbs or you will start the craving, then you go overboard and that leads to dumping (no fun)!!! What about calcium??? Is one liter of water enough??? JJ -- cals. hello group does anyone know how many. cals. I should be taking in at three weeks post-op. I think I might be getting about 250 if i am lucky. any suggestions I am on a full liquid diet and the only thing i have been eating is about 4oz cottage cheese a day about 4tbs of carb free french dressing in the cottage cheese. half a can of carb free slim fast. and a liter of water everyday and my two vitimens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 JJ, My doctor and his staff have said I should be getting in 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day with 50-60 grams or protein and 69 oz. of water. The calorie intake might be due to ones size. I being only 4 months out, I average about 600 or so calories a day and most of that is protein. I take a multi-vitamin, 1200 mg calcium, 500 mq of B-12 every day for the rest of my life. Since my body doesn't seem to produce enough potassium I also have to take 20mcg of that too. Your doctor should tell you what is best for you though. Laurette 4/23/04 open rny 309/290/238/150 St. Charity Cleveland, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 My surgeons assistant told me, that for my stature ( 152 cm) I can get up to 800 cal. Actually, thinking about it, I was told a lot of b******t!!!! JJ -- cals. > > hello group does anyone know how many. cals. I should be taking in > at three weeks post-op.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Laurett, yes they told me pretty much the same besides the calorie intake. I have my Dr give me a B 12 shot once a month. I have a problem with the protein, but I'm working on it, too. JJ -- Re: cals.
