Nutritional intake

Does anyone know where I can get a guideline for calories, fat, carbs, protein, sugar intake after surgery? Just looking to tighten up my diet a little bit.  

I am not sure where you can find what you need peronally you might have to talk with your doc, but i do have a great diet...recommended by doc pre and post op to help you get the balanced nutritional needs and intake your body needs..if you would like more info, please feel free to email me @ [email protected]

Every surgeon and office is different but what is typical is:

 

600 - 800 calories per day

40 grams or less of carbohydrates -->  VERY IMPORTANT

20 - 30 grams of fat

MINIMUM of 80 grams of protein (the more the better)

Make sure you include a minimum of eight glasses of water per day (the more the better).

 

Good luck!
