I do count calories, Proteins, carbs, etc.; everything that goes into my mouth is counted and tracked. My goal is 1,000 calories a day minimum. I usually end up at it oR slightly over. Weekends I usually am at 1,200 calories daily. I get 70. Grams protein minimum, but am usually higher, and get around a minimum of 100 carbs daily. My carbs come from healthy carbs ( fruit, veggies, or dairy). I usually don't eat anything white such as bread, potatoes, crackers or Pasta.< /p>How much to you eat per day in calories? Do you count Protein, carbs etc?

I take carafate 2-4 times a day. My surgeon says I will probably have to be on it for life because of some of the meds that I take. And I have being taking it for a little over 2yrs.

I had acid reflux before surgery but it got much worse after surgery. Now I have to stay away from dairy because I get such terrible acid problems from it. I still would have my sleeve surgery in a heartbeat, even with the additional problems. Your Dr will know best.

I weigh at least once a day. My doctor's tell me I should weigh no more then once a week. I'm a little obsessive.

Yes, I do get craving, and it is almost always for something sweet - ice cream or grappa chino, which makes me mad because I never had a sweet tooth prior to surgery. Salt is what I craved pre- surgery. I crave things that are crunchy.
I don't get hungry too often. I make myself eat at least four to five times a day in order to get in my nutrition. I do get head hunger, but find it happens more on the weekends when I have more time on my hands. I do try to fight it as hard as I can, but if I feel like I have to chew or eat something, I will chew a piece of gum, have a sugar free crest or Popsicle. Trust me, I have given in a few times.
Just remember that this is a lifetime journey and commitment to be healthier. Always hang in there, never give up on yourself or your goals, and every day is a new day.
