Not Meeing my Calorie needs



Recommended Posts

Is it bad not to reach the 1000 calorie diet when on the pre-surgery diet? This was my first day and only had about 700 calories and not interested in another shake. Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

I just finished my 2 week liquid diet and was told to try for 800 - 1000 calories and with the shakes, broth, and sugar free jell-0 I could hardly get to the 800 calories.. I lost 14 lbs during this period. I was averaging 3 shakes a day.. I couldn't drink 4 of them..Tomorrow morning I report to the hospital at 7 a.m, and I'm scheduled for my band procedure at 9:00. I hope this information helps you.. I found myself feigning for some food Saturday, with only 3days to go before my surgery date, and I ate about 10 potato chips.. (I wouldn't advise this) no problem, but really beat myself up about it.. I know look back to see what happened and I think I waited way to late in the morning to drink my shake and my hunger got out of control...

Best to you on your journey...

Thanks so much for the info. I guess I won't beat myself up about it. Who ever thought we would be concerned about not getting enough calories.

Good luck tomorrow and wishing you a speedy and easy recovery for u!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
