Hello! I am 6 weeks post VSG. I've lost 20 pounds since surgery and 35 all together with my pre-op diet. I'm just wondering how many calories I should be aiming for daily? My nutritionist doesn't like to talk calorie intake at this stage but I'm afraid I'm not eating enough and that's why my weight loss has slowed. So any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!!!
I am always so cold too!! I was always hot before surgery, sleeping with the windows open while it was snowing outside!!! Now I'm always on the cold side!
I would say to try water aerobics! You get into it what you put into it..you can always use heavier weights in the water or go at a quicker pace. It doesn't really feel like exercise to me because it is so fun and I see results very quickly from it!
I also had surgery on 3/25 and was in so much pain when I woke up and the nausea was horrible as well!! I kept thinking..."Why did I do this?!!" Now I am on day 3 and feeling so much better!
Ugh, I'm so jealous you get to have broth and yogurt!! I can only have 4 or 5 protein shakes and only one can be made with milk, the rest has to be made with water! We can have some SF jello and SF Popsicles but I've just been sticking with shakes. Good luck finding some good tasting broth!!
