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.

      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.
