Just curious as to what everyone is doing, thanks.

You really should take this question to your doctor or nutritionist. We are all different and getting a bunch of varied data will not answer your question. What is right for you is what you should do. n No comparisons, PERIOD!

I agree with Chez, you need to talk to a nutritionist. Everyone has their own idea what works and what doesn't, and at the end of the day, what anyone else is doing is irrelevant. All that matters is that you're doing what's best for you.

See your nutritionist. They will help you establish food and calorie guidelines to fit your specific needs.

We all get different plans from our Dr. Mine personally is 1000cal & 60 gr of Protein.< /p>

What's your plan?

I haven't been told yet although back in the day when I would diet it all had to do with my height weight n gender. The paper work I got from my hospital says

800-100 calories daily initially (I've been eating bout 1200 but am also working out)

80-100 grams of Protein (I usually have 60)

0-8 grams of carbs per meal

0-8 grams of fat per meal

Max 1000 grams of sodium

64-80 oz Water

Vitamins ( as suggested by your doctor)

I am not telling you to follow my plan n can't imagine a man eating as little as this but this is what the hospital gave me. I just started having solids one week ago n my weight has stayed the same since so I have totally upped my exsersize hoping this will help. I am going to make an appointment with my nutritionist to see if this is good for my height n weight. My fitness pal tells me I'm eating too little n that I should eat all my calories including the ones I worked off but it also doesn't know I have the band. I also want to ask my nut about our bodies going into starvation mode n how that works. I don't follow these rules I posted to a T but I just wanted to share this info with you.

        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.

      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
