Recommended Posts

about how many daily calories are you getting now that you're sleeved? Or do you count them at all?

600-800. I don't mean to count, but I use sparkpeople.com to track my Protein and it goes with the territory. Also, it is good to know so that if you stall you can figure out what adjustments need to be made.

~450 the first week, ~550 the second week...and then aiming for 600-800 going forward. Per my surgeon and nutritionist.

I get usually about 400, but always less than 600. I keep a track to get into the habit or if I have a problem. I use fitnesspal on my phone... Very convenient

I too, use myfitnesspal on my phone although I've been slacking off that and I need to get back on track because it keeps me honest! I'm five months out and I can easily get up to 1200 if I'm not paying attention and letting myself snack on carb-o-licious things like cheez-its.

Ideally, I like to be 800-1000 calories a day.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
