@@slareau I just had my 6 week check in with my doc (6 weeks on Monday) and he said it's normal to be anywhere from 500-800 cals a day and between 40-55g of Protein a day. He and my nutritionist both agree that Protein from food is where its at and not to worry about shakes or drinks anymore. It's also unrealistic to give a goal of 60g a day when we're eating so few calories.

Breakfast - fage plain greek yogurt; 1oz of flaxseed and a tsp of honey

lunch - 4oz of salmon and some sauteed spinach

dinner - homemade meatball, sashimi, salmon, tilapia, sweet potato mash

snack - string cheese but my doc recommended a slide of roast beef or turkey or any deli meat instead

Nutritionist recommended snacking on Peanut Butter, a 1/4 green apple or cucumber to help with acid.

Hi. I'm almost 4weeks out. Had surgery 10/29/14. Highest weight 305, surgery weight 297, current weight 273.6. I had no problems post-op, no pain. I only had gas the day of my surgery. I'm frustrated because since surgery I've only lost 11#. This is day 3 on soft/puréed foods. I seem to tolerate the foods well, just not much at a time. For the last week I've been feeling really tired. And I'm constipated,lol

@@ladybug, have you had your 4 wk check up yet? Try Phillips milk of magnesia for the Constipation. You may be in a stall already. You did lose almost 30 pounds, your body has to adjust. I know how you feel, ive lost about 24 pounds and im 7 wks out tomorrow. Hang in there :-)

@"peekaboo" I had my two week checkup already. I don't go back for 3 months. I did try MOM. It worked, a little too well lol! I think part of my problem is Water retention. Before surgery I was on lasix, but they took me off it because it might cause dehydration.

Ladybug, I think I retain Fluid too but haven't been on any meds for it. So I guess you lost a couple pounds after MOM :-)

      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.
