I'm not eating enough!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I went to see my dietician last weeks for my 6 weeks post-op check-up. She said that I am doing great with my excerise and vit/minerals, but my weight loss could be more. She said it's due to the fact that I'm not eating enough (go figure). She has now increased my calories to 800/day. On a good day, I'm lucky if I can get 600 calories in (that includes drinking 2 Isopure Protein drinks). Some days I have no appetite and it's very difficult for me to eat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Katie

It will pass and you heal from surgery... I am 9 months post op and there are days where I really have to force myself to eat but then there are days where I am hungry too. I am a slow loser too but I make sure I get my Protein, Water and vitimans in. I really don't count the calories but I get a general idea of what I am eating as its about 1000 calories a day.

Mine said the same thing at my six week appointment. 800-900 calories and at least 70 in Protein. I got 70 in today and feel crappy.

I am hardly eating any calories. I have an app. on my phone that counts everything. I never get 500 calories in a day. But I am full and try lots of diffferent things. I am hoping it will change now that I just moved to mushy foods. But those foods feel you up even more than the other ones. I don't get my Protein in either. I think I would be losing alot better if I could get both of those up.

      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.
