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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
