Mukhtalif 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Hi! I finally decided to publish my first post. I've been sleeved on 04/12/2012 (almost for months ago). I'm wondering about the diet/eating habits that I should follow? Some people say it doesn't matter what you eat because your eating in smaller portions and also argue that the metabolism could be jeopardized if I follow something strict. Any thoughts?? Thanks! I'm glad I finally joined this community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitowngirl 886 Posted July 30, 2012 Im 4 months post op. I can't say I'm 100% strict, but for the most part u follow the 60g of Protein, and protein first rule. For example I went to a birthday party and did have a small piece I cake. My Snacks tend to be protein based. I do try to eat 1 small cup of fresh fruit about 2-3 times a week. Hope this helps.

Katie713 423 Posted July 30, 2012 From what I've read from the veteran sleevers here who've made it to goal, its a low carb diet that is most effective. I'm close to 4 months out too...and taking in about 800-1000 calories, under 50 grams of carbs most days, 70 grams of Protein. I often have either cottage cheese with fruit for Breakfast or an Atkins Protein Bar, salad with chicken for lunch and fish with steamed veggies for dinner. I have one Protein Shake a day and one protein bar to meet my protein goals, take my Vitamins, and for Snacks, nuts or cheese, sometimes a weight watchers ice cream bar at night or a SF fudgesicle. I still crave my chocolate! 1 ALIGAYLE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ALongerLife 329 Posted July 30, 2012 I am almost 5 months out (I was sleeved 3/5/12) and I'm trying to keep my caloric intake between 700-900, although I am not strict. Some days I do 500 (rare but it does happen), most days it's 700-800. I work out 6 days a week, usually burning 350 calories minimally but more like 600-700. You are welcome to friend me on myfitnesspal and see what I do, I do publish my journals (although I use the disclaimer now to say I am not perfect. I do sneak in my chocolate or whatnots here and there... hey I'm sleeved, not dead ok?). I do still have a drink once in a blue moon and cheesecake or whatever, but yes, following a low carb/high protein/low fat diet with exercise into my usual routine seems to be working for me, as well as logging what I eat in myfitnesspal (I do that EVERY day). Best of luck to you all! always... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
