Calories Intake Too Low



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op and am trying out different foods I can and can't have, so far I keep things down just fine but I am struggling with eating 6-800 calories , I usually get in around 450-500 and I am always full. I've tried snacking here and their (on healthy items) but I still can't get in more calories. Am i going to be ok and lose weight still? My sleeve is very tight! I also work out 4-5 times a week usually elliptical or treadmill and I'm down 25 pounds since preop . I was sleeved July 7 by Dr. Alvarez.

food struggle is real for a lot of us after being sleeved. You are doing well, I'm four weeks and am not where near that amount. I struggle with one or two bites per meal. So keep doing what you are and I am sure you'll reach that goal soon.

I was sleeved by Dr Almanza- May 15- and I don't think I have ever gotten 800 calories in! Mine is usually between 300-400 now- and I work out twice a day (walking at least a mile and a half each time- and sometimes hiking 3-4 miles) so sometimes I end up on myfitnesspal with 100-200 or less calories. My scale moves every day. I have never gone up- my stalls are still losing a quarter to a half a pound a day. Everyone's body is different- but to answer- yes you may still lose weight with low calories- I do. What work for some doesn't for others- but when I'm full I stop- and I don't eat bread, rice, flour, etc at all, so I am making new habits- losing old ones. My body is SO much happier without me loading it up with crap.

:) good luck in our journeys- and embarking on some just AMAZING new things!!!!

I was sleeved on May 15- pre op loss 4lbs- 65 since surgery- total 69 lbs

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
