Thank you that is excellent information !!!

Our bellies are still pissed off because we separated them with their larger half !! Mine makes a lot of noise too I am two weeks out! I thought I was hungry too but it is gas and gurgling and all kinds of good stuff your belly is now trying to process. We are good just keep on truckin'. I too am still tired ...hang in there !!!

I have been looking online and it seems to me that the breakdown of "recommended" is: Calories 600-800 calories/day Protein 65-80 grams/day 40 g carbohydrates/day 30 gm Fat/day Water not with food ! 64oz/day Someone please let me know if this is about accurate .... thanks

I have the protein part down pat, but what is the recommended amount of carbs and calories per day ???

Thank goodness ! I am two weeks out and have only lost 5 lbs !!! THIS concerns me. Maybe I will lose more soon ?!?! I am soooooo discouraged right now. I just started some actual "food" today so maybe I need some in order to lose some weight because I functioned on liquids for two weeks ?

Well, today was my first post-op appointment. I am 13 days today. Everything is good, except for I have only lost 5lbs since surgery :0( I am trying so hard to keep the faith. Is there anything I can do ? I just got the ok to add food to my diet...soft foods and the like as tolerated. I had some cream of wheat today, let me tell you it was the BEST cream of wheat I have EVER had !!! Any tips to speed up or enhance the weight loss ?

I'm in Fort Worth,so we are pretty close ! Yes I am def learning about being healthy everyday. I cheated and had a lick of mashed potatoes yesterday , LOL I can't wait till Thursday..eggs will have never tasted so good !

Oh thank goodness ! I go back to work next week and tried some stuff on, BIG mistake. Almost started crying !!! I cannot wait to get under 200 !! Of course I stall at 203 and holding , grrr.... Thanks ladies !! I'm trying to keep my head up ! We can do this AND get over these stalls !!!

HELP !!!! I am 12 days post op and I have stalled ALREADY !!!!! Is this normal ? Am I not eating enough maybe ? I don't have a "set" eating schedule. I have a Protein shake AM and PM, Soup popsicles Water etc in between. Am I expecting too much too soon !!!!

My boss new because we are a relatively small company. My in-house HR approves my FMLA so I had no choice. A few co-workers know but everyone else knows I had surgery...period. I took two weeks off. I could probably go back next week, but I'm not !!!

OMG thank you, I was wondering what was going on w me. I am so ready to go anytime now. I feel like when I was 20 again !!! Look what I have been missing for so long !

JUST filled easter baskets, it killed me !!! I am 11 days out and would love some food also !!! Ugh

I am 10 days post op. I am on full liquids which include broth, cream soups, crystal light, water, protein shakes, sf popsicles, sf fudgcicles,diluted tomato soup, meat soups,strained....I'm "dealing" it sucks but I am trying to focus on the prize !!!!

SO I was sleeved on March 28th. So far, I have had my two protein shakes a day without issue. The last two days have been awful. I can barely get one shake down, it makes me nauseated. What is going on ?

I am now 10 days post-op and I am tolerating protein drinks with no problem and getting in two shakes a day, so that is about 60 grams of protein. Plus water, which I am not successful in getting in at least 48 oz. I am so afraid of stretching my sleeve !! Am I doing this right ???

Yes I would say so. Now today is day 9 and I have a LOT more energy ! What a difference each day makes. Listen to your body...it will push back !!!

I am working on just moving in general. I bursts of energy but then I get a bit lightheaded and slightly winded and need to sit a while then I get back up and do stuff and get in 30 min walk a day....It's hit or miss I think. I am 8 days post op

Thanks about the wine, I will ask. I "took" 18 days off. I have a desk job where I am up and down and I do walk around sometimes. Also, I do find 8 days post op once I do things like my walk and or a little housework, I get a little winded and dizzy. Is that normal ? I may wait the full two weeks. I am feeling pretty well, but I am afraid of getting dizzy at work from doing too much.

You look fantastic ! Thanks for the inspiration !!

When can I have a glass of wine ? I am 8 days Post-Op? Also...thinking of returning to work earlier than planned. Good or bad idea ?

I had my sleeve March 28th. I was on Clear Liquids for three days now full liquids till next Wednesday. I am tolerating everything well and I honestly and afraid to veer off the diet my doc thinks is best for fear I will mess something up. That is just me, being paranoid. I walk about half a mile a day so far and I am slowly increasing it,just listening to my body. I still get tired and dizzy if I do too much. I am getting in two Protein shakes a day lots of creamed soups, fruit bars(I spit out the large chunks of fruit for now),broth sometimes,crystal light and Water. I am doing great ! So I just wondered, did your doc give you a "set" diet with do's and don'ts ? I say if you tolerate everything fine then go for it !!! What Jimmygotsoul said what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander

That is fantastic ! I am a week today also but my post op is not until Tuesday ,so we will see !!!

Stay positive ! I was once told these two shall pass. I am 6 days post-op and I am also struggling with emotions. I have decided for me, I am going to post little strips on my fridge of positive things to remind myself of everyday. If I see it and read it enough, I will believe it and it will become part of me ! Stay strong and remember the end result is about a new life for you and becoming healthy, and YOU are worth it !!

Feeling pretty good today How much liquid ie: protein shake am I supposed to consume at once 6 days post-op? I don't want to consume too much and stretch my sleeve. I have an 8oz glass, do I just sip on that a little every hour ? Can I drink it slowly all at once ? Thanks !

Probably just low caloric intake combined with increased activity
