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

WL Warrior I wasn't putting you down, I don't agree with what you are saying and that is all. You are even more new to this than I am and I have talked to many many veterans on other sites that would also disagree with you. What I posted I learned directly from veterans of the sleeve and I would rather take their word than even my doctor. Why? Because my doctor hasn't had gastric sleeve, my doctor hasn't followed the diet and what works and what doesn't. The veterans have. They have had the sleeve, lost the weight and kept it off so what they do is proven to work. No not all stomachs are similar. We are all different. I think it is wonderful that you want to adhere strictly to the instructions given to you and I hope you continue to find success! Good luck!

Each person is different and loses weight differently. What works for one person doesn't work for another. To have gotten this far you've had education on being sleeved and you should have information on what you need to be doing. Are you eating enough Protein? Are you getting enough fluids in? I do agree that tracking your food is a good idea. However I do not agree with the amount of food WL Warrior has told you to be eating. Your body is unique to you and what your body needs can be a lot different than anyone else's. Constipation sucks and I deal with that myself. It is important that you work on getting yourself regulated. More Fiber, enema, etc. You are still newly sleeved and your body is still trying to figure out its new way of life. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself time and remember you are not alone in this.
