Hi Princess and Sassy, I had gastric on Jan.5 this year. I need all the help I can get. I would like for you to add me as a friend and buddy. Together we can do this! I also am on Facebook and MyFitnessPal. I need advice on how many calories a day I should consume, how much food at one time. I am exercising, walking. Would really like to have you as mentors and buddies

Hi, I had my surgery on the 5th of Jan. I had the sleeve, but because of acid re flux and hernia he had to convert to gastric. I have also been living on Protein Shakes and liquids mostly but recently added in scrambled egg, some lean meat shredded, but my problem is if I eat food, I gain! I am only consuming 400/500 calories a day, is that to many? I don't want to stretch mine out either. Maybe we can give each other tips along the way.

Hi Princess, My surgery is January 5th, 2015. I've been waiting to have this surgery for a very long time. I too would like to have a special buddy going thru this. I'm old enough to be your mother but I'm very young at heart. Once I get past the surgery, watch out world! I'm on Facebook, My Fitness Pal, Fitbit and have no problem texting. I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner or I would have gladly replied. I'm extremely motivated and committed to getting back to a healthier lifestyle. Let me know if you are interested! Check out my blog, too.

5 months and one day from surgery and feeling great!
I joined a gym over a month ago and started working out about 5 days a week. I think I have a new addiction!
Here's to the next 5 months!

I was around 1/4 cup around that time and that is what I was told to focus on. I could not go beyond that without feeling very very full.I have been told not to pay attention to calories as long as you are following a high Protein, low carb, low fat diet. It's what you put into your new pouch that is important.
