? for 5 month post-ops

I have a question or two. I am exactly five months post-op today. Anyone can answer these....but I'm really interested in what other 5-month post-ops say. 1. How many calories a day do you usually consume? 2. How much protein are you getting in? 3. How much water are you getting in right now? I'm just afraid I am not getting in enough protein or too many calories. I think I'm doing ok on water on most days. Sometimes the water intake is not so good. I usually have at least 50 ounces each day....but here lately i've been able to get in about 75. Once in a while I do good to get in 25 ounces. Thanks for your help.

Hiya Julie and congratulations on a tremendous loss thus far! You're ahead of me and i'm almost 8 months post op. Everyone that gives you an answer to your questions will say something different. Thats because WE are all different. The best thing you can do is call your surgeons office or dietician and speak with him/her about where they would like you to be. Its very hard to guage yourself against others. Get the best advice from your surgeon. You're doing great! God bless! Melanie

Hi Melanie, Good to hear from you. Thank you and congrats on your weight loss too. I do need to call my doctor but I keep putting it off. Shame on me.... Keep up the great work. Julie -93 since surgery, -100 total!!! Yeah!!!
