So since everyone (doctors, friends and boyfriend) have been on my back to increase my colories to at least 800-900 (I had been doing 500-600) I have been trying to eat a little more. Unfortunately it made me soooooo sick this afternoon (spent about one hour throwing up and gagging on slime) that my stomach can't tolerate dinner. So fustrated

You know what works for you. Maybe instead of increasing volume you can increase the calories in what you already consume.Exercise can also help you with increasing calories. Try asking your dr what he/she recommends.

You need to do what feels right to you and your sleeve. No one knows what that magic number is but your body. Do what works and don't worry about what people think you should be doing.

Instead of eating more, what about eating more often things that are healthy like nuts or fruits. It is really hard to make a significant increase with getting over full. You are doing pretty well though overall. Hang in there. ;)

Oh,I wish I had this issue.I am not making light of your problem but on the other end of the stick I just have to stop myself from consuming to many calories.

If you are very low carb then it is a little diffcult to just up calories but add a little complex carbs like sweetpotato or get yourself a Protein bar that would add 200 cals easlily.

BUT if you feel fine with where you are with your calories and if you have enough energy and if you are happy with your weightloss,do as you please with your calories.only you can know what you should do.

It's pretty easy to add calories and not add volume. Spread some peanut better on celery or make a Thai peanut sauce and dip meat into it. Use full fat cheese or milk. The Chobani Greek yogurt with frit in 160 calories for 6 ounces. a 1/4 cup of quinoa is 140. Add a little olive oil and stir fried onion and peppers into it and calorie count kicks up. Add a few almonds with your yogurt, fruit or cheese and that will kick it up some more without the volume. These are healthy things.

I get in about 700-800 calories a day and I eat slowly over the course of the day. I don't really have set meal times and eat when hungry. It works for me. Eating too much, too fast will cause that puking and slime-ing.

I too barely consume anything. I am on day 21 and trying to eat some chicken for the first time right now and my stomach is more settled with this than the shakes. I have only been getting in maybe 300 to 400 a day( mAybe). I don't know what else to do... I just get nauseous on everything it seems.

        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
