I have been drinking GNC LEAN PROTEIN SHAKES....it's lactose free and gives you 25g Protein, 170 Calories. I showed it to my surgeon and he approved it. So I don't drink anything else They have then in Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla

I was sleeved June 25 My highest weight was 263 Didn't do pre-op Current weight. 225 Have dropped 38 lbs I must confess I'm frustrated thought I would lose more by now...but have been in a 5lb stall for 3 weeks :-( I lose them then gain then back. Not sure what I'm doing wrong [ATTACH]18506[/ATTACH]

I also have a sleeve of steel... I thought I would have problems eating nuts and I didn't.... My boyfriend bought me a sausage on a stick and one piece of the sausage was enough to hurt me so bad....oh I can't do refried beans but I can eat the whole beans....weird Other than that I can eat anything...smh

Hi everyone I went to see my doctor due to heartburns . He gave me some medicine for that but he also asked me about my calorie intake which I told him it's 600-750 he said its too low I need to eat 1000-1200 a day. More now that I'm thinking at the gym. Now I have a hard time eating 750cals as is can't imagine what to eat to get me to 1200cal He also put be back at eating every 2hrs no exceptions. Can someone that is eating that much give me an example of their menus please.... Thank you all :-)

I'm 10weeks out and my surgeon was the one who told me to eat that many calories

That could be it as well , now my problem is how to eat 1000cal as he recommended unless I drink them but that's not healthy either :-(

I had my surgery June 25 Yesterday I went to see my surgeon because I've been experiencing heartburn for the last week now. He told me that my calories are low I need to eat 1000-1200 calories a day. So he put me back to eating every 2hrs :-( How are you doing with your eating?

Awesome that gives me an idea I didn't know if the body thinks it's starving if it runs on 300calories after exercise

I have hired a personal trainer to help me with my exercise. I know we are suppose to increase our calorie intake when we work out but I don't know by how much? Or what to say to increase it I'm 9wks post op and eat about 500-700 calories a day . I'm estimating to work out about 1 to 1.5 hrs a day burning about 300-700 calories will my body be able to handle it ? Please help me

I guess I must be eating real slow because it can take me 4 hrs to eat 3oz of chicken plus 1/2 a cup of beans..... :-( smh

June 25 After 2 weeks of stall finally scale started moving again :-) 29lbs since Surgery date no preop diet required

I cant eat chicken or eggs either....doesnt settle well I guess..Those were my favorite foods!! :-( Now I drink Protein shakes by the box LOVE THEM!!! and Tuna or any kind of fish, yogurts The other foods I cant stand are mash potatoes, coffee, plain Water, broccoli and nothing sweet Will our taste buds go back to normal???

You increased 200 calories from what amount? I started off eating 370 then 480 then 600 and now 742-800 on days I walk 2 miles My surgeon told me I should be eating 1000cal which I can't do :-(

I'm in the same boat :-( its 6 weeks out lost 27lbs but have gained 2 urrrggggg! Its frustrating! I measure my waist,thigh,breast, belly and nothing has changed. I eat 60-90g of Protein and try to stay below 30g of Carbs drink my water 64oz but nothing happens!!! I've heard if the 3 week stall but not to be stalled for 3 weeks. I know its a process but still gets frustrating not to see results. Can ya'll tell me what your eating if you are 6 weeks postop ? I'm eating soft foods like fish tuna and soft water crackers protein shakes

Ha!!!! I had to go out and buy the Atkins food. I ate the Pasta which it only had 10 pieces of pasta and the rest is meat and cheese. It was yummy!!! Couldn't finish it all in one seating so ate lunch and dinner 33g of Protein is almost half my goal so that is wonderful :-)

Yeah thats what I thought :-) the other meals sound good too but the sodium varies from 760-1100 but again its not bad if we split in 2 I will definitely try the chili it sounds good

Thanks Doug.... I think I will use those meals when I have cravings of pastas :-)

Hi can you tell me how much sodium one of those meals have?
