Didn't your surgeon and/or NUT give you guidelines?

Are you tracking your intake? If you aren't, either go back to it or start. Really. That's the only way to know.

I weigh my food and track it with an app. If you weigh and track your food you know exactly where you went wrong.

I am 8 months out. What I eat varies by my mood. I have one Protein shake a day. A steak or 2, 4 to 5 ounces. 6 ounces of fish. I eat 4 times a day and try to have 100 to 120 grams of Protein a day. I try to keep my calories above 700 and below 1100. I still have some high and low days, it just depends on my mood. I keep my net carbs below 50, my goal is below 30 but that can be hard some days.

My surgeon says 900-1100 calories from 3 months post op until forever. Every surgeon has different guidelines I suppose. Somedays I manage to eat a little more than that, but it is with purpose as I am very active. I log everything.

I am 5 months post-op and this is my abbreviated meal plan:

Log my food & any exercise daily

900-1,100 calories per day

60-80g of Protein

At least 64 oz. of Water

No bread, rice or Pasta

No dried fruit or hard, raw veggies

Eat Protein first and have protein at every meal/snack

Avoid high fat foods (5g or less per serving)

Avoid high sugar foods (14g or less per serving/25g or less per day)

Avoid high sodium foods

Take my Multivitamins

Exercise 5 hours per week

Typical Breakfast is a smoothie (Protein shake, 1/2 banana, PB fit) or Fiber Cereal w/milk, lunch is 1/2 c. refried Beans with cheese & ff sour cream or a salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing, dinner is chicken breast or shrimp or lean beef with steamed veggies or a baked sweet potato. Snacks are string cheese or triple zero yogurt or cottage cheese or almonds. Sometimes I will make chicken salad out of canned chicken and snack on that over a few days with a couple wheat thins crackers. I've been craving cuties lately, so I've incorporated one a day this week.

I usually log my food and try to drink more Water. I was going threw my food log in my fitness pal and I usually stay under 1100 calories but they are some days I go over and hit 1500 calories and I also notice is around the time I have will get my period or have it. I tend to crave sweets like Cookies and stuff i should not have.

I had one egg ( over easy) two pieces of bacon and a mini tortilla for break fast.

snack I had a Believe Mocha Latte

lunch I will have chicken breast 4oz, 1/4 of a cucumber, one boiled egg and a table spoon of dressing so far this is 551 calories. I should stop eating mini tortilla for Breakfast . I still don't know what i will be having for dinner.

      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.
