There was no calorie level set. Just rotating between 4 oz of "soft solids" and water every hour. I have kept on pace with this. I am at the level she said for protein, eventually she wants me to work up to 100 g per day and 64+ oz of water. But, I am stopping when I am full, which is what she advised. I am not trying to calorie restrict per se this just seems to be what I can fit into a day.
Have you talked to your NUT about what your calorie intake should be? I had surgery on 5/4 and got really worried afterwards because I'd read about people eating 300-500 calories a day, and I was easily getting in 700-800 and surpassing my protein goal. I talked to my nutritionist about it, and she said that eating as little as 500 calories a day is likely to make you lose muscle mass, not fat, especially right after surgery. She also said that low of a calorie intake can make your metabolism drop like a rock, draining your energy and halting your weight loss. She said when people are severely calorie restricting and not losing, she recommends they add more calories in. That made me feel much better about my average ~800 calories and 70-100g of protein, and my loss has been pretty steady.
I had RNY surgery on 5-5 and I just want to know if I am on the right track. I am eating between 300-500 calories a day, 60 g of protein, and 48 oz of water. I have lost 12 lbs since surgery (42 overall). But, I have not lost anything in the past few days. Does this seem normal?
Does anyone use the patchmd multivitamins? Do you use any of the other patches?

Rise protein bars are delish. My favs are the carob and lemon cashew. Super tasty. They use nuts and pea protein, and natural swewtners like honey and agave. They usually only have 5 ingredients or less so no scary surprise ingredients if you are sensitive like me.
I use Syntrax unflavored Nectar protein powder and mix it with anything and everything. It's so fine that it mixes well and I don't taste anything. One time I even accidently took a big bite of a clump I didnt mix well and it was tasteless.
Hi,
These posts provide me valuable information on health issues. I don’t have any knowledge about this topic. You should contact the expert. I am sorry for that.

Ask your hemotologist about injectafer... 2-30 minute infusions 1 week apart. It'll have you back up in the black in a jiffy. It's quick and just sitting 30 minutes with an IV no biggie.
Take your vits faithfully after that. I use Celebrate I love them but just make sure to take them... even taking them faithfully I had an iron issue... the double edged sword of a malabsorptive procedure. So all the kale and spinach in the word may still not stick.
P.S. On the regain.... life happens no more looking back at old goals. Start charting your food, water, exercise for a few weeks and see what adjustments need to be made... while you wait for a Dr appointment. There is a great group here on OH head over to the WLS Grads forum they will give you all the 411 on it. If you have an in-person group locally I'd go to that. I don't know where you are but once a year the OAC has a great conference that really helps me keep my head in the game www.YWMconvention.com lots of nutrition, weight, health, wellness Dr's sharing info, support.
Best wishes! I hope your levels are 100% soon.
