Calories Intake Too Low

[TheNewSusie 471]

I'm 5 weeks post op and am trying out different foods I can and can't have, so far I keep things down just fine but I am struggling with eating 6-800 calories , I usually get in around 450-500 and I am always full. I've tried snacking here and their (on healthy items) but I still can't get in more calories. Am i going to be ok and lose weight still? My sleeve is very tight! I also work out 4-5 times a week usually elliptical or treadmill and I'm down 25 pounds since preop . I was sleeved July 7 by Dr. Alvarez.

food struggle is real for a lot of us after being sleeved. You are doing well, I'm four weeks and am not where near that amount. I struggle with one or two bites per meal. So keep doing what you are and I am sure you'll reach that goal soon.

I was sleeved by Dr Almanza- May 15- and I don't think I have ever gotten 800 calories in! Mine is usually between 300-400 now- and I work out twice a day (walking at least a mile and a half each time- and sometimes hiking 3-4 miles) so sometimes I end up on myfitnesspal with 100-200 or less calories. My scale moves every day. I have never gone up- my stalls are still losing a quarter to a half a pound a day. Everyone's body is different- but to answer- yes you may still lose weight with low calories- I do. What work for some doesn't for others- but when I'm full I stop- and I don't eat bread, rice, flour, etc at all, so I am making new habits- losing old ones. My body is SO much happier without me loading it up with crap.

good luck in our journeys- and embarking on some just AMAZING new things!!!!

I was sleeved on May 15- pre op loss 4lbs- 65 since surgery- total 69 lbs
