Ok so no matter how hard I try to eat 1000 calories a day I can never make it most the time I can even make it past 500 calories my doctor says when I'm not hungry don't eat. Most mornings when I wake up I'm not hungry at all and I usually don't get hungry about 2 and then I'm hungry all afternoon. Even so I still cannot get 2000 calories a day that I need plus the exercise burns what I do you get. I do you make sure however that I try to get close to the Protein amount that I am supposed to have a date so I come pretty close to that just not the calories. Any suggestions?

Honestly, your surgeon is right. If you're not hungry don't eat. Just make sure what you do eat is healthy for you, like lots of lean Protein and veggies. Be sure to take your Multivitamin daily, too.

As long as you're making healthy food choices and getting in your protein, don't worry if you're under on calories.

I have never been a morning person and it takes me a couple hours before I can eat breakfast. Now I have a cup of hot coffee to flex the ban and then a Greek yogurt with some add ins. Might be an hour or two from when I get up before the yogurt. Breakfast consists of Chobani Greek yogurt with fruit; add in half scoop vanilla whey isolate, benefiber, Splendra to taste mix everything together; then 5-6 cut up walnuts (roasted is best), High Protein kashi go lean Cereal (1-2 protein scoops). Recent studies show people that eat a high protein dairy based breakfast loose more weight then those who eat other types of breakfasts (and people that eat breafast loose more than those who don't).

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
