How much am I supposed to eat????

[Guest guest]

I have a big problem. I have received no help after surgery from my

doctor. I have no idea what I am supposed to be eating or

supplements to take. I hear alot about protein and carbs, but have

no idea how much. I pretty much eat whatever I want and hope for the

best. Please, Please, Please help me. I have stopped losing weight

and need to get back on track. Thanks to all of you who read my

ramble!!

One suppport group i attended the same thing happened to them. Some

surgeons dont really give their patients the help they need. Did he

tell you liquid so long, then pureed so long etc. I am willing to

share what my surgeon gave me and I am sure many other people are

willing to do the same. Share a bit more where you are at in your

journey. When did you have your surgery, what type, etc. I will be

back online later tonight and I will share my plan with you if you

still need the information.

unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover nutritionists. I am now 5

months post op. Any information on how much carbs and protein I

should be eating would be greatly appreciated.

I am now 5 months post op from an open RNY. I was put on liquids for

the first 2 wks then pureed for the next 2 wks. and so on. After

that, I was left on my own. I have no idea what I should be doing.

Any help would be great. Thank you!!

Remember this is just my surgeon, and many surgeons have their own

programs, but here is mine.

70 grams of protein each day and that should be about 70-75% of your

total calories a day

Carbs should only be about 10 - 20% of your total calories

Fats 5 - 15% of total calories

600 - 800 calories for the first 6 months.

3 meals a day, low starch, high protein and one high protein snack a

day.

I hope this helps a little. It does seem a bit hard to follow..

good thing I am only 2.5 weeks..lol I have time to learn more about

it.
