I was sleeved December 20th, 2013 and I am 20 pounds away from the goal weight the doctor gave me! I can't believe how fast that 70 pounds dropped off!

I have officially made it to the hundreds. I had surgery in December and I am down 30 pounds! I haven't been this size in years! I had a rough start with this journey but it's getting better everyday. I still have to remind myself to make the right choices when it comes to food but I'm doing a pretty good job:)

I'm 6 weeks out and still have a hard time with fluids and protein. I am often depressed about my decision. I keep questioning when this gets easier. Today is a bad day where I don't feel like eating anything at all. I worry about my calorie intake also.

It's just crazy to me how little I can eat. I message out 3 ounces of stuff and get maybe an ounce.

What do you get most of your protein from?

I'm trying to reach for like 600 but I have a hard time getting in even 500 most days.

OK so I know the big focus is on protein but how many carbs do you get in a day? Today I got around 40 and I am 6 weeks out.

I struggle to get 500 calories I can't imagine getting like 800. I be sure to do a shake everyday but food wise my stomach just doesn't hold much throughout the day

I wish I had gotten a paper like that. I'd like to know how many calories I am supposed to have at 6 weeks out?

That's amazing. How many calories do you get in at this point?

I worry about the calories all the time. I'm only able to get in maybe 500 right now and my surgeon said it's fine as long as I'm getting all the protein in, but I feel like it's Sooo few

Premier protein are the best ones I have tried so far. But even those I have a hard time getting down now just because I am so sick of shakes. I ordered unjury unflavored to try in fruit smoothies. As far as calories, I always worry that I am not getting enough. I average 350 to 450 and I'm almost 6 weeks out. Doctor said as long as I get 60 grams of protein in then my calorie count is fine. I don't have much energy tho and wondered if it was lack of calories

How far out are you and what exercises are you doing? I am almost 6 weeks out and have only done the elliptical for 15 minutes a couple times this week. I had someone mention getting a personal trainer that will work with what I am able to do but that makes me nervous. Input?

I am feeling much better! I am tolerating food very well. I do not get in enough protein that's for sure. Even tho that is all I am consuming. I am struggling with protein shakes because I am so sick of them and I can only get in like 4 or 5 tiny bites of actual food. Today I averaged maybe 40. I am doing pretty good on water. I get about 60 oz or more

Kindle which vitamin capsules? The kind I orferrd from OCC, I have to take 3 a day and I always forget
