hello i had surgery on 4/24/17 thank god everything went well and i am home. but i am feeling sad has anyone experienced this. also would like to know how many calories i am suppossed to intake.

thanks maribel

Congratulations and welcome to the loser's bench! Since you are 3 days post op, I think getting enough fluid is your main concern and not calories.

When you move to the full liquid stage (I am assuming you are sipping clear liquids now), you may get 200-400 calories daily. As you progress to the soft food stage, many here stay under 500 calories daily.

But, as always, check with your surgical team as to when you should progress to each stage and how much you should be consuming.

Thanks for your response. I am feeling better I am 9days post up and looking forward for more weight lost so far 11 pounds.

Eleven pounds is outstanding! Glad you are feeling better.

Awesome on the weightloss.

Your surgeon or nutrtiobalist didn't give you a post op eating plan? Sigh

Thanks for response yes they gave me a list but not a calorie intake. How are you?

Hello everyone I want to start by thanking everyone for your support. I feel much better today. I have to say that I have tried today the premier vanilla shake and loved it. Since my surgery I have been struggling with different shakes and I am excited to have found this one. For anyone that has been wondering about the taste of the premier shakes I can attest that they taste very good. I took a leap of faith by buying a whole case and i am very excited that i like them.
