My nine month anniversary will be on the 26th, wow, already??  I too need to get back on the walking schedule and exercise more.  I'm down 135 pounds total (100#'s post op), BUT, I've developed hypoglycemia recently.  The doc says to eat more protein and more frequently - but it's hard to eat more, how weird was that to say??!!  Other than that, I'm feeling better than I have in years, my hair is finally starting to come back in and I turned 50 on 8/10.  I am so grateful to God and Dr. Davis for giving me my life back.  I am also blessed with an incredible husband who loves me no matter what size I am.  Thanks to my OH friends for their ongoing support.  Kelly

southern belle52~~~~sounds like your doing well then!. i eat more than the 60 grams of protein a day too!. i shoot for 80 or more..........

wow! your doing awesome with the fluid intake. you must be drinking allllllll day long!

my dr didn't give me a gola weight either. i don't think my dr gives anyone a goal weight. i set one for myself to get to. then if i think i can go lower i will..oh yes i will!.... i just set it for a normal bmi( kinda in the mid range)

i like coming in here and seeing how others from our month are doing. it's to bad it so darn slow in here!

Why won't they give you your calorie needs/guidelines?? I saw my surgeon when I was 7 months out. Told him that I was eating 750-900 calories/day and he said that was perfect.

I use dailyplate.com to log my daily intake. Its great!!! Has an extensive library of foods listed. Hasn't been anything that I haven't been able to find nutrition info on.

Thank you so much for replying. I usually get more protein than that and I eat usually around 700 to 1000 calories per day. Today I have had about 190 oz, of water.
Good to know I am doing what someone else does.

Hi my surgeon and nut won't tell me how many calories I should be consuming. How many calories do you all eat per day and do you keep track?
Thanks.
