January 10th marked 1 month sleeved for me and I honestly am not eating very much and it kind of scares me. I'm worried about my Protein intake and such. What are one month sleevers eating? Or anyone sleeved in November or December? I need like a meal plan. Any advice please? Direct messages welcomed!

I still drink a premier Protein shake every AM, just to make sure I get the Protein, and that starts the day with 30gms. The doc said they like you to get the protein from regular food, but 1 supplement a day, either a shake or Protein Bar is OK, but only 1. I am 5 months out.

What food phase are you in? That might help us figure out some good suggestions for you. At 30 days I was on soft foods still.

I eat about 850 calories each day fairly consistently. I hit my 80 g Protein each day. I have a thin cup of coffee each morning, it helps me poo (don't judge.) And I eat half a zone perfect bar at work over the course of the morning. Then school lunch option (sometimes a half chicken Patty or a short cup of Beans or their boiled yellow squash, something like that, but I can't ever finish it in one sitting. I take it back with me and finish it two hours later) I drink a Protein Drink. Premier is my favorite, over ice and usually over two or three hours. A cheese stick gets in there somewhere and Soup for dinner. Maybe a yogurt popsicle if the calorie count allows. I count the cals... Every day.

I have tried lots of foods I am not supposed to be ready for yet, and don't think I've done any damage. If it does not go down easy, I stop, and back up to mostly liquids. I had half a piece of pizza the other day. No problems. Beef, not so good. I had ricotta bake the other day and it was good, but the same thing today, and three bites on I wanted to barf. Only barfed once since sleeve Dec. 8. That was the dry trout. Ick.

I believe that it's all a matter of calories, protein, and liquids. If I drink them all or chew, it makes little to no difference if I stay in parameters.

I am down 25 pounds from surgery day, 30 from "go" date (11/23) I think it's a nice steady decline I can live with.

Right now I'm on modified regular foods for the next month.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
