14 Days Out. Am I Eating And Drinking Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much, for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for Breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. dinner was chicken and stars Soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had Water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.

My only thought is are you getting in enough Protein each day. This is the most important to keep your body functioning well.

I got sleeved on 9/18, I started stage two on 9/19, a typical day for me includes the following.

Portion sizes should be 3-4 ounces or the size of your palm.

i also try and drink addtl Fluid throughout the day.

This is all guidlines by my nutrtionist, and i am down about 30 pounds so far.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
