Hey everyone, I'm glad I found this forum.
I had my gastric sleeve on the 5th of August, so I'm 6 weeks post-op now. My healing went well, not much pain and fast recovery.
But there is one thing that's stressing me out a bit - I'm able to eat quite a bit of food. I average around 1100-1200 calories per day since 4 weeks post-op, on one day I was even able to eat 1400 calories. I can easily eat 7-8oz (200-220gr) of food per meal, even if it consists of chicken with veggies. From what I read about what others eat, my amount seems to be quite a lot in comparison. I eat very healthy foods, so not filling up my calories with junk. I eat apples, bananas, kidney beans, green peas, veggies of all kind, lean chicken, greek yoghurt.
So my question would be, did anyone else eat that much so quick after the surgery? If so, were you able to lose a good amount of weight in the long-term despite eating that much?
For reference, I'm male, 28 years old, surgery weight was 352lbs (160kg) and my height is 5 foot 11 (181cm) and my activity is walking a bit, that's it so far.
I would really appreciate any input on this, I try to not freak out and keep calm, but my calorie amount seems really high. Especially those 1200-1300 days stress me out.
Thanks for helping and I hope my english is understandable enough.
