Day of eating(drinking) - Full liquids



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Had a couple of complications but nothing I could not get thru.

Yesterday was the 5th day post op and the first day I have felt like tracking what I have had to eat. Here are my totals per FitDay Free calculator for yesterday:

Calories- 501

Fat- 6.7

Carbs-39

Protein 70.1

All my Vitamins taken and my Water requirements met plus some!

I am on full liquids. For those of you who are further along do you think these numbers are okay? Is this enough calories because I could eat more. I think I am right on target but want to see if it is similar to how you guys did on full liquids.

You are high speed! I am on full liquids ( 3 weeks out ) moving into mushies and just started tracking my food today.

So far today (Breakfast and lunch) I am at

Calories 195 - this is 1/2 Atkins shake and 1/2 Jiff Peanut Butter to go (+water)

What are you eating? I have been afraid to push myself to try more foods.

I am eating greek yogurt, Atkins shakes, High Protein oatmeal from Bariatric Choice, and High Protein Soup I got from Bariatric Choice. Frankly very tired of all of these things. Girl I would jump into mushies if I could!!! Maybe just try one new different mushie per day since you are concerned. Maybe that ricotta bake from eggface or something like that would be a good start!

I got my sleeve last thursday and would MUG someone for a Protein shake!!! I'm only getting in about 150 calories per day and am weak! My diet calls for Clear Liquids the first week. <huge sigh>

So 500 calories to me sounds awesome. I'm jealous!

Poor Cathy!!! Hoping for full liquids for you soon! I am weak too but geez I was eating about 3000 calories a day before so 500 is a shock! I suppose we should expect to be weak. This will so be worth it I am sure but today I feel annoyed!!!

LOL I understand. I feel annoyed too!!!

I am a revision from lap band to sleeve and was thinking it would be easier for me since i'm used to eating less, but not THIS LESS!!!

All I can say is the scale better be moving while I'm drinking just 150 cals/day! Or it may not because my body is probably thinking I'm starving it! Ugh!

I guess this too shall pass, right?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
