14 Days Out. Am I Eating And Drinking Too Much?

[Socketpinch 15]

I drink a Protein Shake in the morning. Half a yogurt mid morning. Cream of broccoli Soup for lunch, late afternoon half a yogurt. Get home drink another Protein shake with some yogurt or some applesauce.

Is that too much?

Doc told me that liquids cannot stretch your sleeve. Don't worry about that.

How much cream of broccoli Soup?

How much cream of broccoli Soup?

It's strained so it's just liquid but around 1-2 oz

I'm 21 days out and still unable to get in all my Protein and fluids.

Tonight I'm going to try no Protein Shake. I will still get in 50g of Protein with one shake. Just will leave the calories

I'm on full liquids which includes all u listed but I'm worried I'm getting to much in. I go tuesday for my 2wk post op so I will see then I guess. I see others that can't so Im wondering why and how I can.

If you are still losing weight I wouldn't worry about it. Are you still losing? I got on the scale tonight and I only lost like 2 pounds since last week, I think. My scale and the doctors scale is different. I van get in all my liquids like u too.

Not a worry there - you aren't going to hurt your sleeve (your body will tell you if you are doing too much.) There is a wide variation in how different people handle liquids and mushes which generally are not very restricted by the sleeve. I was able to drink remarkable amounts (sip, sip, sip) of broths and juices in the hospital while my wife at the early stage of her WLS could barely get in her nominal stomach capacity of liquids - the doc and program RN were not at all worried as these are just normal variations. I was getting in enough Protein by my token shake per day, yogurt, protein loaded puddings and Jello, and soft protein dishes that the doc was adding veg to the diet by day 10.

Me too. 13 pounds when I went to the doc last week. Lost a couple more pounds I think. Not going to doc until nov 1 so won't know how much more I have really lost. I hate going by my scale.
