No kidding. I can't workout . I walk my dog and get wiped out . I was just asking how I could get more cal in? The doctors orders in my food intake is that low. It seems crazy. I'm wiped out just cleaning the house.

What is your eating schedule like? I get roughly 500-800 cal in. (Sleeved on 9/26) I have a Protein shake in the morning, then some sort of meat/cheese roll up for lunch, then whatever I make the family for dinner. The occasional snack here and there, but usually not. Soup has been my friend, especially chicken tortilla!

ahhh yh 400 cals is really low.

i snack during the day like a yogurt or fruit mainly.

i have Cereal for Breakfast with soya milk lunch i have a sandwich using super thin bread meat and salad inside dinner i have meat or fish with veggies or potatoes sometimes i have a super light dinner like crackers and low fat cheese. if im excercising i tend to eat more that day like 1000cals so i have something to burn. other days can be less. everyone is different though depends on thier tolerance x

I'm usually 700-850...have a really bad last 3 days...under 400 the. 500 for yesterday and today. Am feeling it now...making a commitment to up it again tomorrow...for some reason I haven't been able to eat my regular 3 oz.. of meat at a sitting. I'm going to try and snack more to make up for that.

I'm just 6 weeks out and I can't get much more than 500 calories in. I have no energy still. I hope the low energy passes, because I'd like to start working out. I was still told not to lift weights from the doctor because of the incisions. When will the tiredness stop? I suppose every person is different but this has wiped all my energy. I definitely don't get in my Water, lucky if I can get in 30 oz. in a day. That's probably part of it.

Tiredness will go away when you get your calories over 700. I definitely feel it after 3 low calorie days...it has also caused a stall so I'm really making an effort today to eat more. So far so good.

Are you getting all your Vitamins in? I keep a spray bottle of Vitamin b in my purse and give myself the occasional spritz if I'm having a tired day. Water is definitely important. I try to get 16 oz first thing before I eat and I'll usually do 32oz after dinner in he evenings...then I only need to get one in during the day when I'm also trying to get food in. That has worked for me.

I'm 8 weeks out and I get about 700 - 750 calories. My NUT has us eating 5 times a day - every 3 - 4 hours.

I have a Protein shake in the morning on the way to work, then at least 3 meals with 2 oz Protein (all I can eat right now) and maybe a multigrain or veggie serving at two of those meals and then a glass of Fairlife milk (13g protein) to end my day.

      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.
