Wow so simple tyvm!!

I feel restriction yes. I don't eat or drink nearly enough I do know that. As for a local support group there are none in my area. It doesn't help that my surgeons office gives me no help or guidance. I am getting maybe 400 calories a day. Which I now know I need to eat more and drink more.

Tysm I have gotten more advice on here then at my doc office. Sadly no groups near me. I am currently trying myfitness pal. I still can't seem to handle a lot of foods but I've had trouble with that from day 1. I just feel very frustrated.

Ty all

I'm 7 months post op down 75 pounds. My doc has lowered my dosage twice already and says there's a slim chance of coming off of it completely.

There isn't one

I had a woman do mine she asked me a ton of questions from early childhood up until the day I went to see her. I had no other appointments after. She asked me to answer some quiz questions. Other than that it was simple. However I did tell her I couldn't remember what I did 20 minutes ago let alone 20 years ago. So I guess she didn't think I was too crazy or maybe she did and was said to herself get this crazy lady out of my office I don't want anymore visits with her. They just like to make sure your confident in making the decision to change your life. I went through lots of hurdles and that one was the most boring 3 hours of my journey.

Okay I'll definitely try to increase calories and drink more.

Yes I know I need to drink more I've never been one to drink more than 16 oz a day but I do push myself to drink more. I find it very hard.

I eat a Greek light yogurt about 9am around 11 eat 1oz of peanut butter at 1-2 eat a fiber one bar 5-6 eat dinner like baked chicken with steamed veggies 8-9 usually some sort of fruit like apple banana or natural pop corn. Honestly I drink 2 bottles of water if that a day with flavor packs.no alcohol or carbonated beverages at all once a month I may have a glass of unsweetened tea.

Ty all. I don't log food exercise or fluids. Although I will start. I have tried to find a nutritionist to help me however they all say they aren't experienced in my case and I need to go back to my surgeon but when I do that he says only 1 visit per 2 years. When I first saw her she wasn't much help just told me portion control. Which tells me absolutely nothing. I'm starting to feel like this is just a huge disappointment. I no nothing more than I did at day one. Every time I see my surgeon I ask questions an he dances around them I've spoke to the office manager everything I could possibly think of an have come up empty handed. So I continue to be in the dark. I thought if I turned to this I could get some insight on how to go about eating drinking exercise and such. I will definitely get a scale an do the food tracking. I thank you all for your help.

Ty sadly I've struggled with this from day one my surgeon was no help at all from day one. I try to do protein low carbs and small portions. However I feel like you just never know when enough is too much an such. Just pure frustration!

I had my sleeve done on May 29, 2014. My surgeon doesn't seem the easiest to ask questions an get a response that is more than just "in time". I have no idea what I should be eating and not nor how often or how much. My family doctor tries to help as much as she can but admits she doesn't have much experience in that area. I have lost 75 pounds so far but the last 6 weeks nothing. At this point I feel like this is just not working well for me or I'm doing something wrong. I try to stay positive but at this point it's very hard. Any help would be appreciated.

I certainly will start to exercise as well.

Wow they both sound amazing. Where do you purchase the protein powder? My surgeon said no caffeine at all but I could do decaf.
