I'm sure she's trying to be supportive, but it's hard to feel like you have the food Police watching you! Hang in there :)

It looks like you had your surgery over a month ago. You need to be eating so you get your Protein in. It's super important for long term health and even short term energy. I wouldn't want someone watching my every eating move either, so I get that, but try to get your protein in, however you do it.

I understand it's not easy. I just started on soft foods, and I am not hungry at all. Don't feel like eating. But I'm forcing myself to put food in there anyway, b/c I know I can't go without eating... it's really unhealthy. I'm trying to eat things with the highest Protein possible, so I get as much protein in even with the little amount of food I'm eating. Yeah, do some research on protein and find things that have high levels... that way when you do eat, you're getting the most out of it.

i agree with above statement

i hope you don't mind, but could you tell me where you are from???

do you have a support group you can attend???

people can help with information

are you in contact with a nutritionalist???

or your surgeon???

i see B) you have been a member for over 3 weeks on the board :)

always nice to see new smiling faces :)

keep reading the boards and you will get good information

good for you that you will start tracking with my fitness pal :)

drinking 32 ounces of Water is a great start

try hard as you can to drink more water

water is very, very important!!!

you are very smart - getting on a schedule will be helpful

as others have said - it is important to eat & drink!!! :)

sorry to say - but sometimes mom does know best :lol:

reading alot, getting information about Protein and other things is wonderful!!! :)

you'll learn many things

good luck

kathy

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
