Just curious - I had my sleeve December -down 50 pounds.. I feel like I am eating too much. What does your daily diet look like 7 months out? How many calories are you taking in. My weight loss has slowed down and I am worried old habits are coming back. Starting to feel out of control.

@@muggzz I pulled my food diary from 7 months. I was just cleared to eat steak, and well I was really enjoying it. I think I had filet mignon 3x a day for a week. This isn't the best day, but it is a real example.

It was a low Protein day but I had a really hard time forcing myself to eat enough in the winter when it was so cold.

I think shortly after this I went to 1000 calories a day. Are you tracking your foods? What are your calories and Protein per day? How many carbs?

I stopped tracking cause I thought I had this under control but I guess it's time to start tracking again ! When were you sleeved and how much are you down? I was always told eat as tolerated no restrictions- their theory was if your stomach wasn't ready for it then I would know. That was very true! Also they NUT and Doctor always said don't worry about fats just get your Protein in and stay away from carbs for as long as you can. Not the greatest of guidelines but they are trying to teach us to LISTEN to our stomachs ..when you feel full - stop . I do t know the numbers to shoot for..any suggestions?

What protein target were you given initially? Mine is 100 grams.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
