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!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
