    Kind of worried - daily calorie intake

    I am in the same boat as you. Sleeved on 18 Dec and down 11 lbs. My surgeon told me to eat at least 800 calories a day and let me tell you, I struggle with this as I am not hungry and the weekends are the worst!! Today I am starting fresh and getting all my Requirements in, protein, water, calories etc. I think it will make a difference in my weight loss also. Sleeved: 18 Dec 2017 SW: 248 CW: 218 5’8

    Emotional Mood Swings Post-op

    I am a very emotional person who enjoys a good cry but I wasn’t ready for the emotional outburst I have my first week post op. Sleeved on 18 Dec. I was bawling like a baby because I didn’t like the number on my scale! Have spoken with my dietician and she has reassured me I am doing great and not to over focus on what my scale says. She also suggested only weighing 2x a week instead of daily.

    Naughty days?

    I haven’t tried them but I am not much of a cookie eater. Maybe you could cut them into 1/4 and have a piece every once in a while when your craving something sweet.

    December Sleevers??

    This is exactly why I stopped weighing myself as I was getting extremely upset with the scales! in the morning I would be down then in the afternoon I would be up! drove me crazy so I stopped weighing. Lots of water weight which should settle down soon or later.

    Pre-Op Diet

    My Dietician told me I needed to lose 5 pounds on my liquid diet or she would postpone my surgery...not to sure about the truth of it but I am taking it seriously and as of this morning I am down five pounds.
  12. I do 4 Optifast and the vanilla isn’t very yummy so I add so peach mango crystal light and now it tastes like a dreamscicle!
  13. Mine is 4 protein shakes plus sf jello and popsicles also chicken broth. Hasn’t been as bad as I thought!!
  14. Hi everyone! I am Gloria from Beautiful Northern California. My surgery is on December 18 and I am extremely excited about it! For the past five days I have been drinking the five protein shakes which I purchased from my doctor along with eating sugar free Jell-O sugar-free popsicles and chicken broth oh yes and lots of water. I have been weighing every morning and my weight is jumping around sporadically actually scaring me as of right now I weigh 1 pound more than I did at my last doctors appointment. Should I be overly concerned? Should I stop weighing myself daily? Any advice anyone wants to share with me would be greatly appreciated! Oh yeah and I have not cheated once. Thanks!

    Pre op diet tips?

    My Dr uses Optifast Protein Shakes-chocolate and vanilla only. I add a Lilly Crystal Light to the vanilla and it tastes like a Dreamscicle!!! I love Premium Protein especially strawberry and cream, banana creme and caramel. I plan on using them post-op. Sugar free jello and popsicles, chicken broth and lots of water. Today is my 5th day and have yet to be hungry which is good!
  21. I am 5 days into my pre-op liquid diet and my weight is bouncing around! Guess I should not be weighing every morning.
