600-800 calories a day a sample of a daily menu
Ok so i am having trouble trying to get a menu written down and i would love some help from any of you..
I am 5 days away from being 9 mo. post op. i have been the same weight for about a month and a half and i cant seem to lose these last 19 pounds. so i was going to try to switch up the menu plan a little bit so i can only eat between 6-800 calories aday so i was wondering if anyone could give me a sample of a days meal which would give me that. i cant exercise since i just broke my foot and cant really do much but hop around.. i plan on drinking 2 protien shakes a day and after that i am lost. i want to break the stall. im planning on doing the 5 day pouch test starting in the morning. but idk because i know with that you have to exercise... ugh im stressing...any help would be great....thanks...and sorry if i was confusing

Rahsheda:
I've been eating between 600 - 800 calories since I had my surgery. Usually my day goes like this:
Calories Protein
Breakfast: Protein shake w/ff milk 220 34
Snack: Plain FF Yogurt w/splenda 120 12
Lunch: 3 oz. Tuna w/light mayo 100 18
Snack : Turkey Jerkey 70 11
Dinner : Poached Sole/cod/ tillapia 150 30
Total 700 105
Obviously, this is just one day. I always have the protein shake for breakfast, but I often have chicken salad for lunch, or shrimp or scallops for dinner (I eat a LOT of seafood). Sometimes I fit in a no sugar added fudgsicle for desert. Hope this helps.

Wow, at 9mths out you are ONLY eating 600-800 calories a day??? Its probably why you are not losing weight. Gah, by then I was eating almost double what you are and today I eat between 1600-2200 calories a day. You metabolism has probably dropped so low it cant go any lower which is why its holding on to everything with dear life. You might wish to talk to your nutritionist on your eating.
At nine months post op you may need a few more calories not less, depending on what you body has gotten use to. I would google calories needs for your height and weight and see what you need to maintain then go from there. As for exercise (dirty word) there are some you can do while sitting. Those last few pounds are so hard to shed.
Good luck,
David

Wow 600-800 seems really low for nine months out. I am eight months and eat 1100-1200 calories a day. My NUT wants us to get our nutrients from food at this point and just an occasional protein supplement when needed. I have never hit a real plateau, just a few "slow downs". Do you have a NUT who you see regularly? We need to be able to live the rest of our lives with this new anatomy. Hope you can find a good balance and the last few pounds will let go!
Good luck and take good care, Pat

I aws eating 600-800 at 5 months -- and my doctor upped it to 900-1000. Once I did that, the weight started falling off again --- if you're 9 months and only eating that much, your body is probably in starvation mode.
