So that past two weeks have been tough.
I have had to say goodbye to my love of food. That sure isn't easy but a necessary change with weight loss surgery. I am able to get all my liquids in at least 64 ounces of water. Meeting my protein requirements is tough while at the same time staying with in my calorie limit. My surgeon is strict but for good reason. He knows his stuff and his patients have great sucess.
Here are my requirements:
50-70 grams of Protein daily
600 Calories daily
25-50 grams of Carbs daily
25-50 grams of fats daily
64 ounces of fluid minimum
3 meals a day no snacking/grazing
I have vitamins and supplements to take but get this!! I was on 1 blood pressure medication twice a day. Since I have left the hospital my blood pressure is magically is under control and I have not had to take it since. That is one hell of a nonscale victory if you ask me.
