Am I eating enough ? Gastric sleeve post op
anniecorda replied to anniecorda's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I eat 3xs a day including my Protein shakes as a meal I count the liquid from my Protein Shakes into my liquid for the day I don't eat more than 500 a day also natural carbs are starting to freak me out i don't do any carbs right now but carbs that are coming from my protein and stuff like that I'm seeing which kinds of protein have more carbs . It's just kind of giving me a carb phobia. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Am I eating enough ? Gastric sleeve post op
anniecorda posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had the gastric sleeve surgery December tenth I'm having two Protein shakes a day on in the morning and one a night in the afternoon is trying to have one puréed meal yesturday I actually did 2 onz of sliced turkey I don't have any Snacks and I drink many 4 tea six cups of Water a day I exercise 3 to 4 days a week for over an hour . I'm losing but am I not eating enough yum always under 500 and not meeting my protein goals but having 3 meals a day so I justify it to myself maybe I should stop babying my self with the Protein Shakes and start wring myself off it's just been really hard for me to eat and also get in my liquids at the same time so that why I went back to the shakes .

thank You I'm finding also that I am pushing my self too hard it's important on the weekends for that Saturday or Sunday for me to take one day and just sit it easier for me to get in all my fluids when I'm sitting down and relaxing all day at home rather than running around all week . I have to kind of slow it down . Also pintrist I was looking at the puréed stuff on there for bariatric some of the stuff on there looks preety good . I will defenitly run it by my nutrionist first but Interesting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hi , my name is annie I just got the gastric sleeve surgery on December tenth 2016 . Before in February I weighed 299 my weigh in day for surgery was 241 today I weigh 219.4 . My liquid diet was totally fine I actually liked it it was super easy I didn't have to worry or plan food. Now the soft purée I'm having problems with I had to go into the emergency room for dehydration. Week ago for not getting enough fluids then I got my fluids up. I tried purring vegan tofu and meats even salmon . Which I talked to my nutritionist and found out my meals were enough Protein but too complex? How am I suppose to get the protein in . I'm eating 500 calories a day honestly mostly less mostly I'm not even making that . My protein is hard to get in too . I'm trying now to do two Protein shakes and maybe one puréed meal a day does this get better ? Will I ever eat again ? Today was actually a good day where I was able to have six cups of Water two. Protein shakes and almost a half a cup of scrambled eggs idk how people do this every day I feel so gross and disgusting I also always feel super super tired I'm always tired. And light headed. It also seems that I'm losing weight from the top and not the bottom . It might sound crazy I can feel my chest and my arms and my back and every thing on top got smaller but my stomach down is the same idk what going on . And I'm staring get bruise all over my legs and arms and arms is anyone else getting that. Right after the surgery I got the flu and wasn't able to leave the house so I wasn't exercising . This is my first week exercising . Yesturday I went for a 4 mile walk and felt amazing before I couldn't walk 3 or four blocks with out being winded. And then the same night I went to the gym. Is anyone lifting weights ? If so what is your gym routine ? I have been doing machines with no weights on them cause I know now I'm still not suppose to be lifting over ten pounds . Please help am I suppose to be losing a lot more weight than I have been . Should I be pushing the water a little more to get 8 glasses Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi I'm annie I'm 25 I have severe sleep apnea I sleep with a cpap machine every night I've been using one for almost a year. I can relate to exactly what your going through. The first night with the machine I couldn't sleep . How am I suppose to sleep with this crap on my face right it's weird and uncomfortable ? It felt like I was suffocating . I started having a panic attack . I first had my machine put on when I went for my sleep study and I almost ripped it off lol it was so weird lol . Now I use the same mask every night. There are many diffrent types of masks and many diffrent types of straps it may sound stupid but the material also matter . So make sure you have yourself a good mask one you feel comfortable with . Fit it are around your face while the person is there play around with it Adjust the straps the mask wants to sit firmly on your face but not to the point where you feel like it too tight. Also the only masks that I have found comfortable for me personally to wear have the gel on the inside . The others ones are way to ruff and uncomfortable they gel ones are a little softer you might want to ask the pulmonigist if he has on with the gel inside Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
