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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
