Hi all, I am new to this forum. I had my surgery April 14, 2014 at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore Md. I am just looking for a group that can help with holding me accountable. Currently this is where I am:

food Intake: limited to 800 calories daily but most reach no more than 500 Calories

Exercise: 6 times a week

Protein: Approx. 60g

Water: Approx. 50-60oz

I am hoping someone can help me with increasing my Protein and Water intake. it has been a struggle with getting them both in consistently. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hi! I had my surgery on April 14th as well. Sounds like you are doing great! I think I get about 40 oz of liquid a day. I am having a hard time adjusting to this new lifestyle. Someone suggested I get unflavored Protein Powder and add it into things to up my Protein intake. Maybe you could do that. I also love the Unjury chicken broth protein, sometimes I have it warm in a mug, it has 20g protein....

The best way to get your liquid is to continue to sip, sip, sip.... Body is still healing from major surgery..... Using my fitness pal to track intake to help work to achieve those goals.....

It took me a long time to learn that my new tummy only liked warm beverages....that helped me get to my goals....

Good luck!

Thanks you both. I started with the Premier Protein shakes today. It has 30g of Protein and it doesn't taste too bad. I purchased the strawberry and chocolate. I am a fan of the chocolate but not the strawberry. So, I am hoping with this new Protein shake I will get me protein in for the day.

DenaD, I used the unflavored protein mix (GNC brand) to add protein to my GNC lean shake (25g) but after awhile I couldn't drink it. My sleeve stop like it. I never tried the unjury but I have heard great things about it.

Babysheldon, I am sipping and sipping... my camelback goes everywhere I go but I am still not able to drink the 33oz twice a day and eat.

I am also experiencing ups and downs in my weight lately. I've noticed that I have stuck around this 241 for a week now with my weight going back up to 242 from time to time. Have either of you experienced that?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
