Hey there I'm post sleeve as of May 8, 2015 and I'm taking in a max of 500 calories, how are you guys eating? I just started working out 2 weeks ago where I usually burn a minimum of 400 calories. Oh, one more thing I've lost a total of 42lbs since May.

Please do your measurements ppl! The scale is not the only thing to pay attention to. You will be shocked and really be able to see your progress when you see how many inches you have lost!

I can't say, I'm scheduled for July 30th

Wow 48 lbs. That is great. I was sleeved may 6 im getting in about 550 calories but that includes my 2 Protein Shakes a day. My coworkers who have had it done say im not eating enough but I don't feel like I can do more at this time. Im getting really discouraged I am only down 19 lbs since surgery I don't see how I can eat that little and not lose.My nutritionist is on vacation so not sure how much I should be eating at this point.

Sleeved 5/21. Eat about 700 calories and a minimum of 55 or 60 g Protein. Trying to get all my protein from food because the Protein Drinks go right through me and the diarrhea is awful. So I use Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese and Beans. There is a new protein vegetable steamer I plan to try today. I use Myfitnesspal to track. Down about 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I was sleeved on may 6th- down 32 lbs and many inches since surgery. I'm taking in around 800 calories daily . Been losing 4-4.5 lbs weekly consistently since surgery.

My surgeons nutritionist recommends Slow tea for this issue. Everyday and it will be smooth moves from then on! You can get it at any grocery store or drug store .

Enema...gross i know but that is the easiest way

Thanks everyone for the advice! I found a great natural laxative alternative and that's Castro oil. I take 1 tbs every other day mixed with juice and it works so well! No painful tummy cramps or anything. I started mixing it with apple juice (couldn't taste it) but it blends better with warm green tea. Hope this helps

Walk!! And drink water!!!

Thank Goodness I am not alone! I have had severe Constipation twice since surgery. It was the most excruciating experience I can ever remember in my life! I thought I was going to have to go to the ER to have it removed from my body! I take MIralax every day now, at least until I can have some veggies and fruit. Lordy, I'd rather have loose stools than constipation. What a pain in the A........well, you know.

Anesthesia and pain meds will both slow GI movement. Not to mention the liquid diet we are on pre and postop. It was 5 days for me after both my VSG and my neck fusion surgeries. I even took miralax starting day 3 both times.
You may check with your surgeon about when to start worrying. A dose of Milk of Magnesia might get things moving.

This is exactly how my bariatric surgeon was able to bypass my stupid insurance & all the hoops they make you jump through. lol.
