Im around 1000 calories at 6 weeks out. I'm losing and feeling really pretty good! I feel a lot better now that I'm eating more. If I were really low on calories, I'd add in some cashews or something like that. High in calories, low in volume. My new tummy is not picky at all which is why is so easy to get in around 1000.

I'm 4 days post op on clear liquids+Protein shakes. I can drink a whole premiere protein in about 30 minutes, but I can't drink 8oz Water in the same time. Why is this? Is this typical? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4 days post op and felt this last night. Update if you figure out what helps! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I doubt it, even though I'd like to. I have a 2 and 3 year old and not much in the way of childcare help during the day. Wish they had an evening group! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Pnwsleever, I will! Where do you live? I'm in the Auburn Lea Hill area. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Glad to hear positives about Dr Houseworth! I'm getting sleeved by him next week, Nov. 3. I was a little nervous that he didn't require preop diet, but sounds like everyone has done just fine! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App I was wondering about a preop diet too. How quickly after your approval were you scheduled for surgery? I have to wait until he's back next week before I get my date. Good luck to you!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App I was approved on Oct.10th, their earliest date was Oct. 25th, but I couldn't do that so I took Nov.3. I know the waiting is hard!

@@teacherjen my doc told me i don't have to do a pre-op diet when i asked him why, he merely said "he didn't believe in them" ?? i was also concerned. - only read that OP have pre-op diet i was surprised when i periodically read from OP didn't have pre-op diet good to know that i wasn't alone i've always regretted that i didn't put myself on some pre-op diet ie doing liquids on my own - oh well, hindsight good luck kathy Why do you wish you had put yourself on your own preop?

My dr doesn't require the preop diet even though I have a bmi of 57 and signs of a fatty liver. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
