I was sleeved May 10th and lost 30 lbs so far. I struggle getting the Protein in. Got 60g in only ones so far and about 600 calories about twice. When I try to eat more, I can’t drink enough. How do you guys manage to get in the food/protein and the fluids of 64 oz? I would love to exercise but my surgeon said that I should have a calorie intake of a minimum of 800.
I feel like I’m an oddball. I have no issues eating or drinking, since about week 2. I’ve even had small bites of steak with no issues at week 3. I sometimes feel like maybe my surgeon didn’t even do the sleeve

@melloyellow I was stuck at around 13-15 lbs for my first 3 weeks and now this last week I’m down a total of 21 from my sleeve date of 5/29. Don’t lose hope, I felt the same as you and then suddenly I started dropping again
Thank you, I’m going to try harder. I used to walk a lot at least 3miles a day and now I dont want as much. I believe that also plays a big part. I’m def going to be joining the gym soon to get back on track.

I was sleeved May 17th. Highest weight was 282, before lap band. Had a revision and surgery day weight was 244. This morning I was 206!!! Not hungry much but focusing on getting Protein in with the Premier Protein. I have one more week of soft foods then I’m on regular....little nervous for that but looking forwards to it also.

Are you on an antacid? I’ve read that acid mimics hunger feelings. I was on a prescription one for first 30 days, now dr has me taking Zantac 150 two times a day for at least another month.

I have not had any issues with acid reflux or heartburn so no, I stopped taking them after weeks 2. But you know what, thanks for the suggestion. I will try using them again to see if that helps. Thanks for suggesting it

Yes I didn’t “feel” any reflux but my doctor says taking it also helps with healing. I bought the Walmart version of Zantac and they were not too expensive.

      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.
