Wondering how many calories everyone eat daily. I have my calories set at 800 calories daily but I never reach it.

OMG I am a Grazer.... I think. I can eat all day. I am 5 weeks post op. I will eat and then feel full and about an hour later be hunger again. Literally my tummy feels empty. Help!!!!!!!

Perhaps you have acid. I felt that way early on and realized it was acid. Just tonight I was having my snack. I thought I was so hungry, then I realized that I had not taken my Prevacid. Now I feel the restriction and have no hunger. Now that the pill is working i feel satiated.

Hugs- hang in there. Let us know how things are going.

Perhaps it's acid. I thought I was starving tonight, only to realize I had not taken my Prevacid. Now I feel satiated. Are you on a med for acid reflux?

SweetCryss (hope I spelled correctly)

Perhaps you are having acid. I felt ravenous just tonight until I realized I had not had my Prevacid yet. It was later than I usually take it. Now I feel fine. Are you on anything for acid prevention?

Please Forgive the Repeats!

I had trouble posting, got two error messages. On the third try it went through.... Along with the two previous messages. :-) I was getting tired, but was determined to try to help, so I shortened my MSG. Blessings to all!

Hi, I have a question for post - op I'm having my surgery on 7/3/14 and I'm due to start my summer session in college. Do anyone think that would be a bad idea. I have heard of people going back to work in a week. I figured I took two weeks off work and my class is only 2 days a week so I can recuperate the rest of the time I'm not at work. A couple of family members been saying I'm doing to much and now I'm second guessing myself please give me an advise you can thanks

You will be totally fine. I had surgery on Wednesday and was in class Saturday. Just remember to get up and walk around if needed. Sitting up was annoying to me.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm so nervous about getting back to class. My date is fast approaching and I'm a nervous wreck.

in my opinion, you do it cold turkey. The first 3 days are rough with the 1st day being the worst. I'm day 11 no cheats so far and I'm fine. How many days do you have to do it?

I'm doing the preop phase for 2 week... Day One was yesterday; it wasn't bad.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
