I had my surgery June 25

Yesterday I went to see my surgeon because I've been experiencing heartburn for the last week now. He told me that my calories are low I need to eat 1000-1200 calories a day. So he put me back to eating every 2hrs :-(

How are you doing with your eating?

I have noticed when I don't eat enough that my heartburn acts up as well. I am eating about 700-800 calories a day.

That could be it as well , now my problem is how to eat 1000cal as he recommended unless I drink them but that's not healthy either :-(

I'm always amazed at those calories...I find that I don't lose if I eat less than 1200 a day. I can easily get 1000 in per day, then work on the extra :)

I don't always track my calories but I guess I will. I have been very fortunate in the stall department. I usually just add them in my head but I will start using my fitness pal to do it. I sometimes wonder if I should up my calories but it scares me also.

You have the same surgery date at myself! Interesting that you eat more calories than me and have lost 5 more pounds than myself. Maybe I need to up my calories.....just a little scary though!

Trust me, I feel like a fatty eating so much more than everyone else here...

...until I remember that my journey is my own. What works for ME is what matters (along with my awesome doc's advice!). Good luck!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
