    I totally agree it's not enough. I wouldn't have enough energy to work at 300 a day. My doctor says 700 -800 first 6 months . I'm also heavy Protein and very low fat and carbohydrates on that 700 - 800 calories. Not saying it will work for you but its working awesome for me so I'm sticking with it. I'm 2 1/2 months post op and down 50lbs .

    I have a weird trick that works for me. Everyone was eating cake earlier this week for the office birthdays and I was tempted to eat a piece. Then I reminded myself that I have already eaten that piece of cake. That piece of cake is in the fat in my belly. I thoroughly enjoyed it when I ate it a year ago or two years ago or whenever it was. I already had my serving of cake and I opted to take it earlier lol. Like I said it's weird, but it works for me.

    Hello again and thank you all for comments. They really helped. I knew all my life that I binge eat but in spite of all the therapy, nothing helped. this is why I decided to have the surgery. I will do the social changes too in order to keep the track. Someone said that ”if you can do liquid diet, you can do anything”. That helped also.
    I do not intend to change my family life too much and not being able to swallow really did the trick in remembering not to eat. So I stayed away of food during all meals. The shakes helped too. I am now in week 2 and allready lost 6,5 kg. So lets rock the world!!!

    I had mine August 16. Feeling pretty good. Had gas first few days. Lost 11 pounds since Monday. I too felt nervous. Kept thinking I-may cancel. So glad I had it done. No appetite after surgery. Drinking Gatorade zero. chicken Soup Protein Drinks. Jello. Smart Water. Good luck. You can do this for quality of life and longevity 🤗

    I buy the frozen cauliflower crusts alone. Two in a pack at Walmart and I cut them up when I get home since they are partially thawed. Then when I want a slice I add my own toppings and pop one in the oven (I add cooked chicken after it’s done so it doesn’t dry out). I honestly can’t even tell the difference anymore. This is my pizza and it’s quite tasty. It’s not in the pizza section it’s in gluten free section at my Walmart.

    Congratulations!! I had mine August 16. 2021. I had the sleeve. Was only in hospital 25 hours, I am 69 years young. Full liquids out of hospital, today I ate a soft boiled egg. Ate about 3/4 of it. Tolerated well. I too was so nervous, almost backed out. 7 days past surgery. Down 12 pounds. Hard time drinking Protein Drinks, going to look for some clear liquid tomorrow. Good luck to you, I am so glad I did it! Longer life, better quality of life ahead!

    I had sleeve 8/16/21. I too was nervous, almost canceled, but so glad I did it. Longer life, quality of life. Have lost 11 pounds since surgery. Some gas pain. Gas x chewable mint helped a lot, plus walking. Went home 25 hours later. Looking forward to full liquids tomorrow. Good luck. Worth it.

    Met with my surgeon yesterday for pre-op...oof, signing all the paperwork made me nervous! She said she tightens the muscles at the top of the stomach so that it helps prevent any future issues with GERD, but can make recovery a little harder. I was planning on taking a week off, she told me I would need at least four. I will have to play it by ear, my job is super demanding and I haven't told my supervisor exactly what kind of surgery I'm having (there would be a lot of judgment and I think he would probably tell me this isn't a necessary surgery and not approve my leave). My surgeon told me to say I'm having medically necessary abdominal surgery, and they'll write me a note. I can't wait til we're six months past surgery and all the scary stuff is over!
