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?
