Not Enough Calories



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone :)

I got my first fill Sept 10 2013 and I get full with small amounts , I went to the Dr. today and was told I'm not eating enough calories , even though I'm eating 2-3 meals and 2 Snacks.< /p>

I don't want to go over my calorie intake I've set for myself, I also don't want to feel extremely full , it doesn't feel good at all.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm having the same issue. I'm eating about 800 calories a day but my doc wants me at 1200. I'm full and don't want to over do it.

I agree with Hazel. Just an idea if you eat sf ff instant pudding you can put in a scoop of Protein Powder.< /p>

I'm curious....was it your doctor who said you are not eating enough calories, or someone else?

Hi all thanks for responding.

My Calorie goal is 1200 , I eat like 800-900 calories a day , I get full fast since my fill.

But yesterday I was told that's not enough and when I'm not hungry I should still eat to meet a certain amount of calories .

It's so weird to me...

Sorry for the late response, it was my Dr. Who stated my calorie intake was to low.

Does he suggest maybe "drinking" some calories via Protein shakes/shots? Maybe that would work for you? Maybe check with a nutrition store and look for high(er) cal options....or just speak with your nutritionist for suggestions. I've never had a doctor tell me I need to eat more, but I've read it a lot on here. Best wishes :)

I had gotten down to 900 cal, and my weight loss was stalled. My doctor suggested I increased to 1200 cal, and my weight-loss took off again.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
