      It will seem like nothing compared to you pre and post-op diets!

  3. I am relearning once again. I have a new sports medicine dietician/nutritionist for running endurance/performance. My calorie intake has been way to low for the amount of calories I burn. (causing significant hair loss at a year and a half out) Holy Crap! Calorie intake is now 2000. Protein goal 204g 30% Carbs 272g 40% Fat 91g. 30% Its 10:30pm I'm not at 2000 yet.

      Okay, that makes more sense then. I did an experiment a couple of days ago to see how many calories I could get in in one day. I managed to get just below 3000, but I had to eat 10 separate times and I had to eat a ton of CRAP. I felt terrible after, so I don't think that's a good long term solution for me. I was trying to figure out how I could "load up" on calories the day before one of my long runs. But after eating all the crap, I felt terrible and definitely not up for a long run. So I am going to have to figure out something else.

      Oh and salad? No way... I struggle with raw vegetables at all, but lettuce especially is just WAY too filling.

      How long did it take you to eat those meals? That seems to be about 3x the amount of food that I can eat in one sitting, especially with the bread. Bread still fills me right up. Toast is a little easier.

      Wow! I don't think I've ever hit 500 calories in one meal since I was sleeved. Much less three times a day! The closest I get is just over 400 calories eating 2 ounces of cheese and 1 ounce of peanuts for lunch sometimes. Are you just not allowed lean protein anymore? No way could I get a meal with some white meat chicken anywhere near 500 calories without getting way too full.

      I'm having the same challenge now that I'm training for a half marathon. I had to start tracking my food again to make sure I get ENOUGH calories. Never had to use a food tracker that way before!

      The headache is from going high protein/low carb. Your body is entering ketosis. The skittles were a mistake because ketosis takes 2-3 days to get into and once you go out of it, you have to start all over again. So you likely just condemned yourself to 2-3 MORE days of headaches as you reenter ketosis.

  17. i need some help with the liquid diet stuff

    1. JamieLogical

      JamieLogical

      Is this the pre-op diet? If so, I wasn't allowed soup. I was allowed 3-4 protein shakes per day and one green salad with calorie-free dressing. I was also allowed unlimited sugar-free popsicles and jello, though I honestly didn't eat them, because I found they made me hungrier.

  19. Saturday was my 11 month surgeversary. I'm now 3.8 pounds from goal and I've officially lost over 100 pounds from my all-time highest weight of 270.

    1. JamieLogical

      JamieLogical

      With only 3.8 pounds to go now, it's hard to not want to lose that in like a week! But with the way I've been losing the past few months, it's likely to take closer to two full months to REALLY lose those 3.8 pounds. I seem to lose 3 pounds all at once, then bounce back up two pounds, then spend the next 2-3 weeks getting THOSE two pounds off again. So right now I've just had one of my "big loss" weeks, which means I expect some of that to come right back, then lose it again slowly over the next few weeks. Rinse. Repeat.
