I'm 14 weeks out, and my goal is 900 calories a day. I hardly ever reach 900, if I'm eating the right things. My surgeon told me to stay under 40 grams of carbs per day, and get at least 65 grams of Protein. Here's what my usual day looks like:

Breakfast:Premier Protein Shake 30g

Snack: Edamame 1/2 cup-8g

Lunch: Fit/Light 2x protein Greek Yogurt-12g

Snack: 1 large boiled egg w/ 1/2 the yolk-7g

Dinner: Beans or meat, & a veggie-10-20g

Water: 3 bottles (not enough, but I try)

I find that I don't have lulls in energy if I eat every 3-4 hours. I mess up at least once a week, but I get right back on. ;-)

I do at least 70 grams Protein, no more than 600 calories per day. Today.... - Ot

Breakfast - 1/2 Turkey Burger Patty (17.5 grams protein, 100 calories)

lunch - Other 1/2 Turkey Burger Patty (17.5 grams protein, 100 calories)

dinner - Premier Nutrition Protein Shake (30 grams protein, 160 cals)

snack after Gym - String cheese (6 grams protein, 80 cals)

So........71 grams protein, 440 calories

I vary things a bit from day to day but I eat a LOT of those turkey burger patties because of the protein count!

I was sleeved 9/11 so 3 months and 2 days post-op.

It is healing, the inflammation of the surgery has gone down. it hasn't stretched or anything. You will be able to eat more. At 4-5 months I was TRYING to eat 600-700 calories. Only good advise for head hunger is fight through. Just make every meal count.

      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.
