December 2013 Sleever Pounds Lost Log

[Kindle 8,667]

Sorry you got bad news, Jaime. Have you been only eating 600 calories on purpose? That seems super low for 10 months postop. I don't track or measure anything, but I did count calories for a few days about a month ago and I was in the 1400-1600 calorie range. I can see how you would be malnourished as well as not losing weight by consuming so little. What deficiencies do you have? Has your dr switch up your supplements or given any suggestions?

Thank you. I wasn't eating so little on purpose. I think it's more like I rarely feel hungry so I don't eat regularly. One of the tests measures the Protein levels in the past 4 weeks, similar to a glucose test I guess. I was told the minimum number needs to be 20. I was at a 12. The tests also showed my Vitamins D and B12 were still deficient. Also I was sent for tests to check my thyroid. It's never been abnormal before but it showed up abnormal with this blood work.

Can you do Protein Shakes? I still have one very large (24-32oz) one everyday. It has a minimum 30g Protein and usually more like 40-50g. I can send you recipes if you'd like. That way I know I'm getting at least 1/2-2/3 of my protein in one drink that I drink over an hour or so mid day. It's such a habit now that I "never leave home without it". And then I can eat a normal balance of healthy foods the rest of the day rather than having to concentrate on protein at every meal. I also have my Vitamins in a weekly pill dispenser to make sure I don't forget if I took them or not. Since you aren't hungry, maybe set a timer and make sure you eat something every 3 hours or so. And don't forget healthy fats....sounds like you could use the calories and they are vital for proper cell function and absorption of fat soluble vitamins.

I hope you find a plan and balance that works for you.

Hi Jamie

I agree that 600 calorie sounds pretty low for your stage in the process. I still track because it works for me. I have been eating 1300-1400 calories a day.

You might consider getting back to basics with proper amounts of Water, Protein and carbs until you feel like your back on track. I like the shake idea. I still do one a day for 30-35 grams of protein
