I am 8 weeks out and have found that I have better eating days than others. Meaning some days I can eat more ! I had to go back to soft foods and liquids for a short time due to the same reason you just posted. I am finding also very quickly at this point what foods work for me right now and what does not.... That's been tough! Lol -
How do you get calories early on?
TrailriderJulia replied to jennyinky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started of focusing on the calories as well. Wrong idea! Like the others said, PROTEIN is your key!! Without that you will feel exhausted . I am 8 wks. Out and still have to make an effort to get at least my 75 grams in, calories take care of themselves. -
I wondered the same thing ! I am 4 week out today and struggle with the energy needed to to any exercise more than a 20 to 30 min walk or easy swim for 15 min. I have enjoyed resistance training , arobics , eliptical in the past. Just cant seem to find the gumtion for any of those at this point. Was feeling like a failure in the exercise ...

TrailriderJulia posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

i am happy with my results also . But this is sure tough . I dare anyone to say bariatric surgery is "the easy way out ".... Are you exercising? I am walking but not as much as I should. Im just tired when I get ho from work. I did swim today for 15 minutes . I feel like I should be all up into some kind of big workout ! Feeling guilty about NOT -
Please Tell Me It Gets Better
TrailriderJulia replied to LaurieC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hadsmy sleeve on May 12th. I cant drink shakes anymore , they go straight through me. I can eat yogurt and cottage cheese. But i really find myself wanting FOOD ! I have tried mashed potatoes but it hurts after 3 bites. Stuck in my chest. I find myself getting depressed and feeling the same way you are ....Am I ever going to be able to enjoy food again ?? Sorry to whine. I am thankful for my decision, just a bad day.
