I am in the same boat. I am trying to eat 700 or 800 calories a day, but I can only manage 500-600. I have been losing and gaining and losing the same pound for a week now -

My sleeve was done on the 6th. I spent a lot of time walking the halls, about everything 90 minutes-2 hours. That really helps. Or if that is too much, then try just standing for a couple of minutes Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Try blending ice cubes and non-fat milk with your Protein Powder, that makes a nice change. I use a brand called Vitaleph, which is recommended by my surgeon. I am on my 3rd week of the shakes, and it is getting boring. I got some of the GENEPRO Protein powder and mix that with Water. I never really liked broth before, but I like it just fine now. I have a cup of that in the evening. Hang in there...it's only for now. Surgery Date December 6th in Tijuana. Just 2 more sleeps!

The diets are to shrink the liver before surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am going to Mexico for my surgery on December 6th, and I fly in in December 5th. I have been on my pre op diet for 10 days. Protein shakes with nonfat milk or unsweetened almond milk. This hasn't been hard for me, I am used to depriving myself of meals trying to lose weight. The hard part is waiting until Monday to get on the airplane. I wish it was tomorrow Height 5' 3/4 inches HW 230 Pre op weight 225 CW 211.8
