I just moved to purees. I was only able to take in 260 calories yesterday.

I drank 1 Isopure and could only get 1-2 ounces of scrambled eggs and later 1-2 ounces of tuna in. Doesn't feel right to get that low. Is that safe? My NUT said my calories would drop when I started purees,but it seems low.

total was

carb-4

protien-52

calories-264

Fiber-2

Should I add in drinking one of my naked or bolthouse Protein drinks. I could add 200 and get 16 more Proteins. I just need to find the time.

It took me about 3-4hours to drink the Isopure and seriously with the waiting before and after and the slow eating both the eggs and tuna take up about 1.5 hours each. The rest of the time I am full or drinking Water.

Also...exercise has turned into me pacing around my living room. It was leisurely walks out side but this happened:post-56987-1381366527806_thumb.jpg

Maybe people are tired of vsg. Less comments nowadays. But don't worry about ur intake. Eat enough to keep yourself from being lethargic. Your eating will increase.... believe me.

I think that as long as you are getting in all your liquids and Protein right now is the important thing, I was taking a low amount of calories too at that stage. As you are able to eat more it will go up, I'm only taking in 500-550 cal a day, I could up it but I get so busy through the day I don't have time to keep eating. Good luck to you.

Hi! Take your Vitamins and stay hydrated-- can u add yogurt cottage cheese apple sauce? Watch the carbs in the juice drinks -- they cause me cravings-- also try salmon packets and silk lite unsweetened soy milk-- it's sweet and yummy! Good luck! Your doing great it takes time! I'm a lil over 2 months!

I'm almost 3 weeks out and can barely get in 300 calories my Dr recommends 800 at this stage. I can't for the life of me figure out how in the world I am supposed to accomplish that!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
