Need advice. Am I eating enough?



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days post op ( surgery last Tuesday). I don't think I am eating enough. I am on a liquid diet for 3 weeks after my surgery and also am allowed yogurt and strained creamed Soups. Today I had a premiere Protein Shake, 1/2 bottle of Isopure, almost 1/2 can of Tomato Soup and a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt. Am I eating enough? Info feel hunger.

I'm where you are at. The most important thing right now is to drink 64oz of liquid and take in your Protein. I do a premiere shake in the am. At lunch, I eat Campbell's Soups that are condensed and when you add Water it's thin enough. I only eat 30min. I drink a flavored Syntrax which gives me 23g protein. At dinner, I do another broth or Soup and add Unjury unflavored protein to give me another 21g protein. You should be taking in probably 300-400 calories this 3 weeks of liquid. So, I think you are doing fine, but get your protein because it will make you full.

You're doing fine,just be sure you are getting at least 60g of Protein and as much Fluid as you can tolerate. I still struggle to get in enough fluids, but I keep trying and I am getting closer to my 64 oz that I'm supposed to have. :D

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
