Kind of worried - daily calorie intake
AmyP619 replied to Brittanyblue's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you for this!!! I thought 400-600 was pretty extreme since my preop diet was also that on top of liquids only. That's a long time to be eating barely anything. There are days I freak out over eating 800 calories worried I'm eating too much until I step back and remember that compared to a "normal" diet that's still pretty low lol. I eat healthy, I just don't starve myself. -

Everyone is different, but definitely defer to your doctor. I'm 7 weeks out today from my Sleeved date, and my binder plan still says 400-600 calories, which I think is WAY too low, especially since I have such an easy time eating now. Most days I'm between 700-900 calories, which is perfect and satisfying for me. It says the calorie goal ups to 600-800 between months 2-6 and then it goes up to 800-1000 between 6 months and 1 year, and 1000-1200 after a year. It's a general guideline. -
Week 5 Update - November Sleeves.

Fantastic!! So happy for you!! You're doing awesome. I'm still on "soft" foods for 1 more week, but honestly I've been eating pretty much everything. No hard or raw vegetables, but most meats are soft enough, and I do steam veggies with them. I've tolerated foods fine, so I haven't been too strict about soft foods. Most things get soft after chewing them like 100 times anyway, right?!? Lol good luck with your transition! -

Hey!! Yes, the weight loss picked up a little bit, total I'm down 34 lbs since 2 week preop liquid diet, and I'm down 19 since surgery. I'll take it! How are you doing??? I'm still doing really well with tolerating foods and still no sickness, thankfully! -
Only down 22lbs since surgery. Help!
AmyP619 replied to newsleevedme79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4.5 weeks post-op and down only 16 lbs from surgery date. I've had a remarkably easy recovery, I haven't had an ounce of nausea, and everything I've eaten so far has agreed fine with me, plus I'm able to eat more than the 2-4 tbsp they say at this stage... I can eat up to half a cup already, so I hear you. I feel like this is going to make it WAY too easy to fall off the wagon at some point, so I make sure I LOG everything I eat on myfitnesspal, and I don't snack. I eat my 3 meals and get my liquids in, which helps keep me at the 600 calorie goal right now. I almost wish I had more complications to keep me from splurging, but I'm overly grateful that I haven't had any complications at all!!!!! It just means we have to work a little harder to keep ourselves on track. 22 lbs is great, keep it up!! -
Hi all! I'm new to the site. I had the Sleeve done 11/28/17, and I'm wondering who else had theirs done on or around that date and how you're doing? I had to do the 2 week liquid pre-op diet, so in the total 4 weeks that I was on liquids pre and post op, I lost 26 lbs. I'm on mushed foods now, I'm 3 weeks post-op today and down 12 lbs since surgery, and the weight loss is slowing like crazy. I'm getting so frustrated, even though I know I shouldn't be so focused on the scale. I'm eating 400-500 calories a day and hitting my liquid and protein goals. I feel like the scale should be zooming downward!!!! This past week I lost 1 lb. ONE POUND! Come oooon!! Lol Just curious how others are doing! So far I've had absolutely NO nausea since surgery, and I've tolerated all of the mushy foods I've eaten *knock on wood!*.

11/28/17 Sleevers-Where you at?!
AmyP619 replied to AmyP619's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Great job! Good for you! I know it tends to come off a lot easier and faster for men. I'm in awe of your 40 lbs!! That's fabulous. I returned to work 2 weeks after surgery. Thankfully, I have a desk job, so it's easy enough for me to get my liquids and protein in. I can't imagine how people do it with busier jobs on their feet. Keep it up! -
My approval was quick, less than a week.

Thankfully, I've never had an ounce of nausea, I was Sleeved 11/28. My husband battled with it, though, for the first couple of weeks. Hang in there. I hope it goes away soon

I'm with you!!! Also Sleeved 11/28 and in a stall, so frustrating! This past week I only lost 1 lb. Annoying when you're eating such minimal calories. I've only lost 12 since surgery but 27 total since starting my liquid diet 2 weeks pre-op. Just gonna keep on going! I've been hitting my protein, so not sure what's up.
