Liquid Question Cont...

**Sorry I replyed instead of posting again** This is a good one! I just got home from meeting with my nut we have a post-op group (6 weeks) and she meet with us individualy for a few minutes goes over our food (liquid) journal...She tells me that I am doing great to keep trying in the next few days to take a little bigger sips because I am so close to the 60/64 that they want me to be for the first few weeks...then she asked me is I would like to know what my goal for protein actually is and what I need to work towards...I said well yes of course! I guess they base it on our height and build, our frame I am 5'10" and have a large frame so my goal for protein is 85 grams! Then she says do you even know what your goal weight is and me Im thinking around 200 I would be happy (my starting was 382) she says my ideal weight is 165 wow! This is going to be fun...Im really excited! It helps too that I am down 20 pounds I dont think I have ever lost 20 pounds! Heres another one... what about calorie intake what do you think I should be at? I have been maybe around 300-400 calories a day I think I am under way under I had 1/2 a bottle of isopure (the 20oz flavored drink ) those are like 160 for the entire bottle I have had half of one today so my calories are very low I will drink the rest tonight (working on it now) but that will be 160 calories for today I have had water all day...should I even worry about calories at this point?

Nope you sure don't need to worry about your calories at this stage yet. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine. Hugs Judy

Thanks Judy!
