HW 375 SW 339 CW 288 I upped my calorie intake mid week as per my Primary Care Doc I didn't quite meet her mark each day since I saw her Thursday, but I'm heeding her advice since my weekly losses have been small although steady. I have been blessed with no stalls to date. My PCP feels 1000 calories would get my body burning at optimum levels. Im thinking I will make an effort to hit the mark and continue exercise (light to moderate- nothing intense yet) and test her theory to see if I lose more weight. I'm thinking she may be right because I can imagine how ravaged my metabolism is given my history of yo-yo dieting. My NUT told me not to worry about calories but to focus on Protein and keeping things low fat, low carb. Most days I was ending up around 500-600 calories. She also said 3 meals a day. My PCP says toss that out, get the protein and Water in but graze across the day to get more calories in. Anyone have an opinion? Anyone have a solid post op eating plan from their doc? I'm open to your input!

One of the 'concerns' my surgeons office talked about was grazing...they strongly, STRONGLY advise against it. I was told that it should be 3 meals and maybe 2 Snacks. I usually do the three meals and one snack, and get in between 700-800 calories and have upped the protein to at least 80g.

I think you run the risk of overheating if you are just grazing throughout the day...so in my opinion, I would definitely caution against it.

Thanks Macman for sharing with me. I started solids at end of third week but I still at 8 1/2 weeks have a hard time with pain after eating solid Protein veggies and so forth. I am going to push myself this week! Thanks again.

Good luck at OCC. I was there in December and had a great time (yes, I'm saying that about having surgery). The OCC and Marriott staff were both super nice and I really enjoyed the 3 days with my sister who I only get to see 1-2 times/year. My only regret is I had to watch her drink a margarita instead of having one myself ;)

I had been keeping my daily calories at around 800, but once I increased the average to about 1,000, the weight started coming off. I strongly believe that I was on some sort of 'starvation mode' before. If you are reading this and you are on a stall, consider shifting your calories (up or down) and see what happens. This is definitely not a linear process and I think that adjustments are needed along the way, we just need to be mindful of the impact of such changes and adjust accordingly. xo to all.

      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.
