I am 2 months post op and can easily eat 1100 calories a day. It worries me that I can eat as much as I can. I try really hard to concentrate on getting my Protein and fluids in every day and usually I do not have a problem with it. I feel like I am failing and I struggle to not be depressed about it. I read about others who can barely eat and that just makes me feel worse. I'm eating healthier than I ever have before but I still struggle to stay away from carbs. If I have a Protein shake for a meal it is like I haven't consumed anything and am still hungry. I've lost approximately 30 to 35 pounds but most of that was in the first month since then I have stalled. I also have problems with constipation ever since the surgery. I dread going to the doctor and hearing what they have to say. Today I had:
Breakfast: scrambled egg with cheese in flax seed & wheat pita pocket
Snack: homemade weight watchers muffin
Lunch: Subway kids meal - ham, provolene on wheat with apple slices
Snack: slice of swiss cheese on crackers
Dinner: 2 fish sticks, half acorn squash, 1/2 c. broc. cheese rice
Snack: slice of swiss cheese on crackers
