Hi. I don't think the calories matter as much as getting enough Protein and enough fluids. My doctor stated that he wanted to be on a 1000 cal per day diet for at least three weeks after surgery. Hope this helps !

The first couple of months on soft food, I was between 450 calories to 600 calories - max. I'm now 4 months out and I'm between 650 calories to 800 calories a day. That's per my doctor and nutritionist guidelines.

Omg 1000 calories! I'm not even close! I do get all my Protein and liquids in, but I've only been consuming like 400 calories a day that's probably why I'm so exhausted. Thank u for replying

I'm the weeks out and in only getting between 300-400 calories a day also. Getting all my Protein and liquid in. I lost 10 lbs the first week and unfortunately nothing since. Hopefully things well pick up again soon. Getting a little frustrated seeing people dropping weight like crazy and I'm stuck already.

That was my fear going into this as for the last year and a half I was only eating one small meal a day. I'm so afraid this isn't going to work. I'm trying to stay positive and hoping the scale starts moving and I haven't done all of this for nothing.

I am the same. I get in about 350-420 calories per day and that is with sipping all day between Protein and liquids. I still am only hitting around 50 Fluid ounces and 45-50 grams of Protein. Trying to get more in every day. I have only lost 8 pounds since surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

I'm on soft foods now, and yesterday I got something like 465 calories in, but today looks like it is going to be more like 600ish, as I'm at 419 after lunch.

I am trying to focus more on my Protein and liquids, though.

When I told my NUT that I'm walking an hour a day he said I should try to get 800 calories per day and to never go below 500 calories. I'm four weeks.

I follow my plan and it's between 600 and 800 calories per day, depending on how much fat I consume. For the first few weeks it was much less. You are tried because you are recovering from major surgery. Try adding an extra shake to see if your energy level increases. And try to get rest between periods of activity.

If you are staying on your plan you are losing FAT. If the scale s less stresses you out consider not weighing yourself.

      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.
