I am 3.5 years post op, so my daily routine has varied a lot, depending on where I was in my post-op eating progression, whether trying to lose or maintain weight, etc. Where are you in this timeline? What are your goals? We might be able to give more helpful information with a little more background.

At 3 weeks post op you should not be eating regular food yet. Soft foods.

Sometimes it's the anxiety making you believe you're hungry. Do you drink enough Water? That helps too

Are you taking anything for acid? You shouldn't be hungry at 3 weeks

At three weeks out, I was only on soft foods. My routine looked something like this:

Breakfast: Protein shake

Morning snack: string cheese

Lunch: Protein Shake

Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt

Dinner: Shelly's Baked Ricotta (recipe here)

I was sleeved on 12/21 and my schedule now is like this:

Morning - 2 scarmbled eggs with 1 oz of shredded cheese

One Premier Protein (11 oz) on the way to work

16 oz of Water at work, sip until lunch

lunch - Last several days it's been Shelly's Ricotta Bake as described above

16 oz Diet Snapple

16 oz Water, sip until I get home

dinner - Various, either chicken salad, refried Beans, tuna, egg salad, turkey salad

1 or 2 sugar-free popsicles, or maybe a Yoplait light yogurt (6 oz - Boston Cream Pie!)

16 oz water

That puts me at just about 900 or so calories a day and I never feel hungry and it satisfies my liquid and Protein requirements.

When I was roughly at your phase I was eating 3 meals per day of under 3 oz (85 grams, or roughly 175 ml) each. All of those meals had to be high protein: meat, dairy, eggs, or tofu with a little bit of soft green veggies.

In between meals if I got hungry, I had a low calorie Protein Shake. An alternative to that is to have a small amount of diced chicken breast.

I hope you are working with your surgeon and a nutritionist, they will help you with this a lot more. You might want to check and see if your constant hunger is really acid. Something like 80% of us get bad acid reflux for the first year or so. You should probably be on some sort of meds for that. Hunger that frequent post surgery doesn't seem normal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
