My nutritionist wants only 3 meals a day with no snacks in between. I just feel like we are so limited of the amount of food we can take in, how do we get enough calories?? And is a protein shake considered a meal on its own? Currently still on soft foods. Just looking for soft and regular meal plans throughout the day, ill be starting regular soon.

So ive been doing some research and i have found a few blogs/articles that say if your having trouble getting enough protein in then drink more milk instead of water. Anyone else do this? I get about 50g of protein in at 3 wks post op but want to get more in and im so sick of water and crystal light and protien shakes just taste so powdery to me! But i feel more water is needed, any thoughts?

Mine did, i would have drs office resubmit or have them look into it

Hi guys im 2.5 wks post op vsg. I was cleared to lift anything yesterday and i lifted my daughter which she is 30lbs, now i have a bad pinching pain in my largest incison anyone go through this? Hoping its normal.. im going to wait the weekend if it doesnt go away ill call the aurgeon monday. And for now taking it easy with the lifting

Will insurance even cover another surgery since your bmi is probably still normal?

Thats almost a lb a day! Be happy!! I also just had my 2 wk post op visit and down 11bs, think of it as for 1 month youll be down 20lbs.. keep up the good work, we dont want to rush the weight loss even though we'd like too[emoji6]

3 weeks

Id go back to clears for another few days

Bariatric fusion vitamins have everything you need it them, take 2 in the am and 2 in the pm

Nope bariatric fusion has everything you need look it up, i take 2 in the am and 2 in the pm.. so much better than taking 10 different pills they usually sell them at the drs office

After 7 days i was allowed soft foods, i think youll be ok

After 7 days i was allowed soft foods and have been doing great, hang in there

Baked ricotta, eggs, steamed veggies with talapia, refinned beans with lean ground meat mixed with salsa and top it with cheese and sour cream, cream soups, let cereal soak in milk to get mushie..lots of options

Mine said the same exact thing and the surgeon said it's an approval. Call insurance to clarify though

Fine ground meat mixed with salsa, pour refined beans on top then top it with cheese and bake for about 10mins. Add sour cream and done..so good

Just the usual daily walking for about a mile, so i was surprised. I think our bodies are just so used to garbage and over eating that it sheds quickly with liquids . I also cheated a couple of days but with healthy meals[emoji102]

Bariatric fusion, which has everything you need in a pill after surgery, 25$ a month. Theres also prescription vitamins they can prescribe you

After 7 days i was allowed any soft foods. Ive been handling them well

My apt is also the 23rd and ill be asking, im loosing weight daily so im still happy with it

Could be a stricture?

After about a week my swelling went down

Same here sleeved 2/8 i can down things so quickly without any discomfort. I can down a bottled water in like a .5 hr, even with soups/soft food. I feel like im getting more down than i should but hey im still taking in way less than before surgery

Yeah i say the same sometimes but i know itll be worth it, i just had tuna with avacodo for lunch and ate 3/4 of a can. I just say to myself if i didnt have the surgery i wouldve had a burger and fries. We got this! The dr put me on carafate for acid reflux and alot of burping and it has been awesome

Same here, and sleeved the same day! I had 1 egg this morning and still felt like i couldve ate another 1. Even i can have a 10 ounce broth/soup and be fine. No feeling of fullness nor hunger. It just leaves me unsatisfied[emoji58]

Im just so sick of liquids, getting the protein shakes down are so hard. I just miss texture!
