So originally I was told not to mind the calories, just focus on protein and liquids. By the 10 day post op mark, protein was increased to the full amount and the NUTs were hesitant to give me a calorie goal, but eventually said 600-800. At the next appointment a NUT increased my protein by 10 grams and said to cap the cals at 600. Now, the NUT says 93 protein and anything under 1000 works. Yikes, I guess I thought it would just be more consistent.

Back to my 600-800 calorie range and increase the protein. I will try to keep it under 700.

Does anyone else have the NUTs changing their collective mind at each appointment? None of this was due to changes in the lab results.

Don't worry about them, just do what you know you need to do. Keep your calories in the 600-800 range all the way to goal and the more protein the better. This means keep the fats and especially carbs as low as possible, carbs under 40. You can do this.

I hear you. The 600-800 range and under 40 carbs is very comfortable to me. The under 600 thing was good for the first few days, but then pretty darn difficult. No complaints though-the weight is coming off. Not super fast, but not slow either so all is good :)
