How much are you eating at a time and how many calories? I can do 1/2 a cup and an hour or so later a lil more I am getting in around 1000 daily. I eat fast was a band to sleeve. Also I hav been drinking some at meal time. I need to stop that. Just curious as to how you all are doing.

I was sleeved on 3/29. I can only eat about 2 ounces at a time. Im struggling to get in 400 calories. I just dont have an appetite and get full so easy. I actually hate food now and just dont like eating. Its weird. I am down 48 lbs.

Really depends on what I'm eating. On average, looking at volume, I'm probably around 1/4 C average. 1/2 C is still a stretch, but I've probably done it a few times.

Compared to you two I am really over doing it. I am losing though. Only 20 lbs, but I did start at 163 and am now 143. I need to really cut back but was told 1000 was good from my doc. Below that I was struggling up lose any. Once I increased my calories I started losing.

Hi I was sleeved March 12th and am averaging about 400-700 calories a day. On average I am lucky if I can get in 2 oz of dense food like tuna or chicken but can now eat a whole container of greek yogurt. Protien drinks were making me vomit so I eat a Protein Bar with 30grams of Protein in it for a meal and that takes me almost an hour. I never thought I would say this but eating has become a chore and no longer enjoyable. Who would have thought lol! I am still struggling to get in all my fluids and average about 32 oz a day. I have lost 44lbs since surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
