I'm struggling with this problem also. I can't eat more then 800:900 calories a day, I feel very weak. I'm 121 lbs for 5"5. Start weight 240, bypass March 2015. My surgeon really think everything mechanically is working. We did a endoscopy, ct scan, but I still can't eat much, he ask the psychologist to see me. I'm really worried at this point. My goal should be 135 lbs so How to get this 15 lbs back? On a stressful day like yesterday I only eat 500 cal. Any suggestion is welcomed. Also I'm going to UCLA Bariatrics for a second opinion in February .

So it seems strange as many posts have asked the original poster what she eats..................no response. The bottom line is you are still losing weight because you are eating few, low calorie foods, simple as that. There are many higher calorie foods, softer foods, Soups, that you could consume to gain weight. The bigger problem could be a mental one; fear of gaining/anorexia.

Can't or won't. There is a big difference. Why can't you?

Because, I haven't had time to post what I eat.

I eat:

String cheese

Dannon light and fit yogurt (2 a day probably)

P3 (for breakfast)

lunch is usually a small chili or bacon chicken ranch salad from Wendy's with light ranch. Or a Subway Turkey chop salad with fat free ranch.

banana

berries

mandarin oranges

hummus

apples with cashew butter or almond butter

I don't do well with meat. :(

I started putting it in Myfitness pal today as per the request of the NP.

I would say fear of gaining.

I actually had a dream that I lost too much weight last night. It is really weird, but I am far from that at this point and knew it was a dream.

I think people have harped enough on the whole what are you eating issue. I do think it is a great idea to plug everything into an app so you can see what it looks like when you add it up. Also, is there any weight lifting or strength training-you may need to add some muscle, or even prevent losing muscle. Protein is your friend and if you are not getting enough with the foods you eat, add shakes back in.

Just my thoughts

Are you getting in all of your Protein every day? I ask because if you haven't tracked your food before today how do you know of you are following your program?

Also, when I asked whether it was can't or won't I meant in relation to eating more than 800 calories.

It sounds like you really need an appointment with your NUT and a counselor or therapist to help you through this.

Yesterday, we set up an appointment with the Therapist for next Wednesday, Nut the following Wednesday and my Surgeon wants to see me. I see him on January 7th.

The NP said, I will be closely monitored and my surgeon will probably hand me to her to see for follow-ups after I see him on January 7th.

My brain is so trained to not eat, its flipped a switch to scared to gain. I am so worried about ruining my pouch and regaining all that I have lost. Does that make sense?

I think she wants me to track my food, to get an idea of what and how little I am eating. Not to mention nutrients I am missing.

I honestly, never that I would be in this position.

I honestly think I am dehydrated. I probably should of asked for some fluids.

I did tell her I am having problems with dizziness. She thinks it is from transitioning from sitting to standing.

I can't I just tried some Pasta with homemade tomatoes sauce and I vomit the all thing. Anything solid hurts until I let it out. I was able to eat salmon. And shrimps without problem, that's why I think something is wrong. Monday upper GI with barium. How can this be a mental problem, I'm hungry, I want to eat.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
