Day of eating(drinking) - Full liquids



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Had a couple of complications but nothing I could not get thru.

Yesterday was the 5th day post op and the first day I have felt like tracking what I have had to eat. Here are my totals per FitDay Free calculator for yesterday:

Calories- 501

Fat- 6.7

Carbs-39

Protein 70.1

All my Vitamins taken and my Water requirements met plus some!

I am on full liquids. For those of you who are further along do you think these numbers are okay? Is this enough calories because I could eat more. I think I am right on target but want to see if it is similar to how you guys did on full liquids.

You are high speed! I am on full liquids ( 3 weeks out ) moving into mushies and just started tracking my food today.

So far today (Breakfast and lunch) I am at

Calories 195 - this is 1/2 Atkins shake and 1/2 Jiff Peanut Butter to go (+water)

What are you eating? I have been afraid to push myself to try more foods.

I am eating greek yogurt, Atkins shakes, High Protein oatmeal from Bariatric Choice, and High Protein Soup I got from Bariatric Choice. Frankly very tired of all of these things. Girl I would jump into mushies if I could!!! Maybe just try one new different mushie per day since you are concerned. Maybe that ricotta bake from eggface or something like that would be a good start!

I got my sleeve last thursday and would MUG someone for a Protein shake!!! I'm only getting in about 150 calories per day and am weak! My diet calls for Clear Liquids the first week. <huge sigh>

So 500 calories to me sounds awesome. I'm jealous!

Poor Cathy!!! Hoping for full liquids for you soon! I am weak too but geez I was eating about 3000 calories a day before so 500 is a shock! I suppose we should expect to be weak. This will so be worth it I am sure but today I feel annoyed!!!

LOL I understand. I feel annoyed too!!!

I am a revision from lap band to sleeve and was thinking it would be easier for me since i'm used to eating less, but not THIS LESS!!!

All I can say is the scale better be moving while I'm drinking just 150 cals/day! Or it may not because my body is probably thinking I'm starving it! Ugh!

I guess this too shall pass, right?

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
