Yes they gave me a book that I do classes every month surgery will be in September of this year . I measure things put keep track on a calorie counter and make sure I stay with in the calories allowed . It's just hard cause alot of days I don't even get all that's allowed . I make sure I get the 60 to 70 protein . I buy quest food and shakes is Fairlane or walmart brand that are 30 in protein. I drink alot of water and just don't feel like eating . If I try to then I feel like I'm blowed and sick . I'm still going to have the surgery I'm just worried about not getting enough that they say to eat . Most days I eat once a day cause of the water . I'm guessing cause I'm not hungry .

They say to use the shakes as a snack . But sometimes I use them as a meal .

No I don't. They just want me to eat breakfast, lunch ,dinner .shr said not to skip . But even my weight management lady said no to skip cause my metabolism is really low . Buy if I eat all.that I feel over full .

Thanks im just worried about this surgery . I have been overweight for a long time and have tryed all kinds of diets and nothing has worked . This had caused me to have all kinds of health issues and I'm only 56 . I feel I'm to young to be having all these health issues . I try to get my 60 to 70 protein in a day. I drink shakes and the quest stuff . I watch what I'm eating . But alot of times when I drink a shake then I end of skipping a meal cause I'm not hungry . The nurse did give me heck for not eating 3 meals a day. I'm not a big eating . I'm good with one meal a day and drinking water . But they say that's a no no .

I have been doing a 1200 calorie diet through weight management and I only lost a total of 7 pounds and I have been eating high protein food . I m just worried that it will take me for ever to lose since I only lost 7 in 3 monthsv

I have been trying for about 6 months to lose and when I went to the dr I ask about this cause of all the health issues I have . I'm jus scared that I may not lose cause I have such trouble losing and I have a habit of skipping meals cause I'm not hungry and there saying your to eat 3 meals and snacks . I'm just worried cause that's alot of food .

Just wondering how hard it is to lose the weight after the surgery .
