Oh wow, reading this my calorie intake is quiet bad, between 1300-1600 a day these days, i am 10 months out , lost 73 odd kg’s , 6 foot 3 , 96 kg now ....

Doesnt bother me to be honest, my wife cant cook, so if i dont for her.... so i end up cooking stuff i used to eat before surgery, but doesnt seem to cause any issues for me.

Go back to protein shakes and talk to your doctor, too early to be eating what you eating IMO

Phillip, very happy but lots of complication, had kidney stones, acid reflux, cramps these days , i have lost a fair bit of muscle despite the fact that i eat protein, for a while there i tried to gain or slow down weight loss, went on sugary drinks binge to keep my liquid intake high due to kidney stones , was never a sugary drink person before surgery, i think surgeon may have gone a bit overboard , no one except my wife knows about surgery so nice to get some amazed comments at work / friends ? i am now going to start on excercise build up some muscle, one thing i would recommend, before going on liquid diet, do some precise calorie counting, which tells you how much your actually taking in, that may give you some insights , we sometimes eat less but it is a lot of calories without realising, MyFitnessPal free version is perfect for this

Long time lurker, first time posting in anger :) had gastric sleeve 31May, have lost 37 Kg since , approx 81 pounds( starting weight 167). Struggling lately, have a surgeon who is always on holiday or indifferent.
Age 43, 6 foot 3, live in australia
The good bits since surgery,

Weight loss
Hypertension under control ( no more medication)
Was borderline diabetic, that is all good now
Sleep apnea is better
Fitting in my clothes from 10 years ago
No hunger or even


The bad
Too quick weight loss
Recovery time after surgery was 3 weeks , that means ihave no leeway with further sick leave
Constant nausea , especially when drinking water and any food
Barely able to meet 1000 calories ( at most can have 80 gms meat with 1 tablespoon rice at any given time) , with my height i should between 1200-1500
In last week had a case of first kidney stone , spend the night in ER, in last two weeks my calories intake has plummeted, the only way i even get to 800 is by drinking juice ( i know i am not drinking enough water)
My gall blader wasnt taken out, i have been pushing surgeon to put me on actigall, but he is indifferent and has suggested that this is a practice not done in australia. Iam concerned as i cant afford another surgery from time off from work perspective..



Is what iam experience fairly normal ? Nausea , lack of hunger etc
