I'm 1 year 6 mo post OP vsg, I'm considering keto, does anyone know what macros I should be following?

-Sliced deli meat wrapped in string cheese -boiled eggs -cottage cheese and your fav fruit -shrimp and cocktail sauce from trader joes You shouldn't worry about making yourself sick and throwing up, as long as u eat slow and dont over stuff yourself and you should be fine! Your for sure overthinking it! [emoji4]Lol You should go on pinterest and get ideas, they have alot of cool stuff

thank you! i totally agree! and when you say "borrow" do you mean after eating a higher fat everything else has to be lower to make up for it? @RickM

Im 8mo post op For my post op diet my nutritionist told me no more than 5grams of total fat or sugar per serving. I want to make salmon for meal prep which is high in fat but even 2-4 oz is higher than 5grams of fat, do i just don't eat the damn salmon or what!?!?! 1oz of salmon is 3grams of fat and 6 grams of protein that's not much! but what the hell do i do!! Somebody help me please!?

Does having boiled egg and a protein shake at the same time considered eating and drinking? Should i wait 30 for my shake? I have a sleeve Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

I got mines from costco and the manufature. Both stinky! I need to use a straw when i drink it.

Those are the exact flavors i have Chocolate and caramel. Maybe its just my nose but it smells bad for me.

Has anyone noticed the Premier protein shakes has a weird stinky smell? like a spoiled smell, fart smell whatever it is. my shakes are fresh but what the hell am i smelling? lol

U know what i thought i was gonna have the same problem i love coke! But once i started my 2 week preop diet it helped alot to wein myself off of it, now that i had my sleeve 4 minths out i dont crave it too much, i do have diet coke every now and then as a treat. I wasnt able to handle carbonation for like 2-3 months because it burned my stomach and gave it a icky feeling. If u cant get over having coke out of ur life maybe drink it less bubbly with alot of ice.

When i was in the 1-3rd week out i couldnt imagine eating regular food again! But one week it sneaked up on me and liquids and foods went down just fine no problem no hurt. I had the hardest time getting down enough liquids and food in the beginning now it feels normal again with some restriction Give it time its coming just be careful you will see what im saying Lol Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

@blizair09 I noticed when i eat every 3 hours it totally helps with the hunger/head hunger feeling. just the look of that 3oz in the bowl really pissed me off today lol i think after time goes by ill stick to 4oz with shakes and snack.

So im about a month 1/2 post op vsg im 30lbs down and now that im able to consume more food on my regular textured diet, im afraid of how much i can consume, My Dr said 4oz of food is normal for me and my nutritionist says 3oz i feel like im able to eat like 4-5oz at a time sometimes to feel satisfied and sometimes full, today i weighed my food to 3oz which was less than half of a salmon fillet and like 4 string beans which was a portion size of a 2 year old and i was still able to fit more in if i wanted to, im thinking how the hell will i get my protein this way!? do you think my nutritionist means 3oz of protein alone with my veggies on the side or my entire meal should be 3oz with everything in my plate?

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out with vsg and getting my fluids in was the most frustrating part the first week 1/2 it feels physically impossible and it hurts to get it down but 2 weeks later you will feel the difference that your able to get it down. Anything your feeling right now isn't gonna stay that way.

Yes! I had my sleeve 8 days ago I have the same problem I have the pain in my right rib! Its hurts when I breath, or take deep breath, or laugh Or move a certain way it feels like I'm being stabbed in my rib! I thought it was trapped gas but I'm thinking its not. But by your defiantly not alone on this. I'm going to ask my Dr about it tomorrow.

Your not alone! I had my sleeve on the 10th and I'm still walking around hunched and holding my scar where the Dr pulled out my stomach, I still have a hard time getting out of bed. Along with horrible rib pain.
