2 weeks out..how many calories a day?

This makes me feel better...I am going to cut back on calories per docs suggestion but still try to get in all of my protein and liquids...tuna is the best..it gives you so much protein for such a small amount!!! I had my first tuna today...albacore from Trader Joe's...let's just say my fur babies were foaming at the mouth... well...not to leave them out they have their special tuna from Trader's.... Have a great evening.... Oh, I got to drive today...driving is the best!!!! Jenn

TUNA is awesome!!! I can't think of anything else that can give us 25 grams of protein in 3 oz (that doesn't taste GROSS ). I think it was Lady D who gave me a really good suggestion. She told me that the tuna in pouches now come in different flavors so I got a few varieties, including salmon to try. This way I won't get bored of it! I also saw they had crab in the pouch... I eat a lot of shrimp too (chopped up and made into shrimp salad with a little lowfat mayo).... YUM!!

I had the salmon yesterday and it was really yummy, way better than tuna IMHO. The crab is okay. Not that much flavor to it, but pretty good mixed with a little mayo and garlic/onion powder. That's what I ate for dinner tonight. Sheryl

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE CRAB, MS VI ... I'LL HAVE TO LOOK FOR THAT. I JUST STARTED THE SALMON YESTERDAY & MY TASTE BUDS WERE JUMPIN' FOR JOY! I PUT IT IN SOME CREAM OF SHRIMP SOUP & THE FLAVORS WERE FANTASTIC. HAVE YOU FOUND SHRIMP PACKAGED OR DO YOU JUST GET IT FRESH & COOK IT? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I'M SITTIN' AT AROUND 400 CALORIES 2 WEEKS OUT, SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT I WOULD BE SHOOTING FOR IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, MS VI. HAS ANYONE BEEN TOLD BY THEIR DOCTOR/NUTRITIONIST WHAT CALORIE GOALS WE SHOULD TRY FOR AT SO MANY WEEKS OUT? IT'S FUNNY, BUT WHEN I USED TO LOOK AT A DIET OF 1,000 CALORIES A DAY (BEFORE WLS), I'D BE THINKING ... OH MY WORD, I'M GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW, I'M THINKING, IF I HAVE TO EAT ANY MORE, I'M GOING TO POP ... &, THAT'S AT ONLY 400 CALORIES A DAY! GOD BLESS YOU

I am at 4 weeks and eating about 800 calories a day. I eat 5 times a day, mostly protien. I am a revision and have a 3oz pouch. Most new post ops have about a 1oz pouch. Hugs, Dawn

YOU'RE STILL LOSING WEIGHT WITH NO TROUBLE ON 800 CALORIES, AREN'T YOU, MS DAWN? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

SPEAKING OF A 1 OUNCE POUCH vs A 3 OUNCE POUCH, MS DAWN ... I ATE 2 OUNCES OF CREAM OF SHRIMP SOUP WITH SALMON ADDED. FLUIDS SEEM TO FLOW RIGHT THROUGH MY POUCH, SO THE SOLIDS MAY HAVE BEEN 3/4 OF AN OUNCE AT BEST. THE FUNNY THING IS THAT IT TOOK ME ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO EAT THAT LITTLE BIT. I TOLD NICK THAT I COULD HAVE SWALLOWED THE ENTIRE 2 OUNCES IN ONE GULP IN MY OLD LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I'm on a bit of a plateau right now but have lost 18 in 4 weeks. This is slower than most but hey, for me it's fine. If I can lose 10lbs a month for 12 months, I will be at my goal. Hugs, Dawn

I HAVE 2 FRIENDS WHO ARE RNY PATIENTS & THEY ARE SLOW LOSERS AS WELL. THEY'RE LOSING ABOUT 10 #s A MONTH EACH, BUT, LIKE YOU SAID, THAT'S 120#s IN A YEAR & THAT'S SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVEN'T HAD ANY HUNGER AT ALL SINCE I HAD WLS (13 DAYS); I'M PRAYING MY APPETITE/HUNGER NEVER RETURN. DO YOU HAVE HUNGER WITH A REVISION? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
