Mental help please with food weight! So worried



Recommended Posts

Hi there. Please help. Iโ€™m 1.5 year post op and Iโ€™m so worried. Iโ€™m able to eat 170grams of yogurt with 30g Protein granola and 50grams strawberries with 15grams of Peanut Butter. So worried and anxious that itโ€™s not normal. Am I stretching my sleeve? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ is this normal. I make sure to keep my dinner portions to 170grams. Please help guys.. Iโ€™d love to hear.. Iโ€™m struggling so much mentally.

all of my food restrictions were lifted once I was about six months out or so. At 1.5 years out, I could have definitely eaten that - if not before then. You're not going to stretch your sleeve on that.

Dalila you are doing great! Youโ€™ve reached your goal and you need to be a bit kinder to yourself. It sounds like youโ€™re making very sensible food choices. Everyone stretches their pouches - you would not be able to sustain enough nutrition for a normal life if you didnโ€™t. You are a success story! Enjoy your yogurt with strawberries and Peanut Butter - it must slip down very easily and sounds nutritious, tasty and highly digestible. Brilliant!

If it's any comfort, I can eat that now (two months post-op) and just had a barium swallow and my sleeve is exactly fine. Don't freak out. Just weigh yourself once a week or so, and have an "oh sh*t" weight where if you get there you will go back to basics to get back down. So if your goal was 50 kg, maybe you say at 53 kg it's time to get serious (it being a lot easier to lose 3 kg than 10 kg).

That's all healthy, real food that is full of nutrients and Protein. I wouldn't beat yourself up about eating that at all.

      Hi, Iโ€™m new here. Iโ€™m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I havenโ€™t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.ย

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
