Is there anybody here 3 yrs post op who is eating 1600 calories?
I eat six times a day, 200-300 calories per little meal, usually. I eat about a cup of food at a time, about 90-100 grams of protein a day.

Each meal is divided by /////. I am just presenting a variety of meal ideas to be eaten seperately.

I generally have about max 4 protein shakes (120 calories each, 480 total)
1 or 2 slices of quiche in a day (250 calories per slice, smaller than a single serving, as a full serving is 1/5th the quiche, and I eat 1/6th)
1 serving of Fage with some berries (I think this is about 300 calories)
1 salad with artichoke hearts, cheese, snap peas, and sometimes avocado, sometimes baby corn, sometimes olives (about 200 calories)
Sometimes I'll have some grapefruit (100 calories)
Sometimes I'll have a serving of almond milk (60 calories)
That's about 1200 to 1600 depending on the day, and if I'm at work.
At work I have less, because I only have a 100 calorie snack at lunch time.
I'd been trying to work off a 15 lb gain, and making great progress until I replaced the battery. Now I have to start all over again as it seems that the batteries lost all the weight and not me.
