I've been using My Fitness Pal but ignoring how many calories it thinks I should eat.

You can change the calorie, Protein, carb, fat goals to match what pure supposed to be getting fyi

General question....im not having any problems with liquids and in 7 days post op. pouch is suppose to be 2oz max but it seems like it is holding more? Im never really hungry and i try to follow a schedule...is this " normal" i was expecting to take two or three sips of Water and be stuffed...just curious if any one has some input

I feel like I can eat too much too. No concept of fullness yet at 2.5 weeks out. I'm listening to my body and its not saying much yet. Still can't get all the water or Protein in but it's getting better. Today I felt like I ate all day and made it to just 700 calories.

Lisa R,

sounds like you are having the same results . made 800 calories today and drank at regular intervals but never a full or hungry sensation.

im just going to measure everything and listen to my body. see my surgon on the 27th .....so far so good

thanks for the input :-)

Just tried Protein Shots today for the first time.… I think I may throw up.

I thought about trying them as well. Maybe I will pass.

I am having this same issue. I can pretty much drink like I used to. I haven't felt any fullness or discomfort (except gas later if I have too much Protein at once). I was going to call my nut today. Plus I'm only on liquids and shakes...I imagine it will change with purees. I'm glad I'm not the only one...

Thanks ladies for your encouragement. I made it through yesterday without any psychiatric incidents. LOL Today is a new day and I'm going to get through this one as well. I just have to make this new lifestyle work for me, and I will.

One week out and down 6 pounds...looks like I'm on the right track. :-)

I can't really tell with liquids, but yesterday was my second day on real food. I ate one too many shrimp and I paid for it. I was in pain for about an hour and a half, and then my mouth watered. Next came white foamy stuff and then the food. Felt so much better afterwards, but my 19 year old was worried about me. I will be measuring from now on

bjroberts417,

I spoke to my NUT yesterday she said to stick with reality that I have a 2oz pouch and be mindful of the amount you drink and stretch out the time intervals between sips. From what i have read here and diffrent articles, the pouch has been tramatized by the surgery and is nor reporting back to the brain corectly ...YET!! so you may be full and since you pouch is not giving the correct sensory outputs it could be troublesome. The pouch will self correct this deficeny shortly but it needs time to heal

That info alone stopped me and throttled back the way I was intaking fluids. it makes sense to me but, Im going to ask that question to my surgeon next thursday.

until then.. sip sip sip .... Protien, Water vitiamins .....sip sip sip .... exersice .....Protien, water vitiamins....exersice....sleep !

Regards

This is a little TMI but I have to ask. I'm 9 days post op and last night I was having watery BM all night and into this AM. Feeling blah. Had my first taste of a Protein Shake yesterday. Could that of been the reason??? Has that happened to anyone else?

[Jeepchick42 193]

They're 2.9oz. I couldn't even get through one. I tried it late at night tho. Maybe if I try it earlier on the day. I have more of a chance of getting rid of the taste. Lol.

If you're still only on liquids, the thing I remember is liquids in=liquids out. :/ I just started soft food on Tuesday and am finally past everything being completely liquid coming out. If you're running a fever or something, then I would worry.

The only good thing about Protein Shots is that they're small...and I mean the only good thing.

[Mandee80 27]

Yea I just tried one today. I think I can get it all down before the end of the day. 35 grams of Protein tho. And way better than the shakes ya make with powder.. Eww that didnt sit well with me at all!
