Ok, so I am one week post op and I feel like I am eating and drinking all day to the point that I feel like I am overeating and drinking. Im consuming about 1/4 a cup of heavy Soup (no chunks, one step above broth), I can do 3/4c of broth, yogurt cup, popsicle and another 1/4c of heavier Soup then get in most of my liquids. Does that sound right for a day?

I feel like that's a lot of food , like Im pigging out but its only 420 calories. Im feeling guilty....WTH?

Those numbers are your per day or per meal numbers. Per day that sounds about like what I have in my guide book.

I bet. But yea, that almost exactly lines up with what the info from my Nut says for starting out on foods. Its definitely a good thing that it feels filling. That's more or less the idea I suppose. :)

You can have yogurt at a week out? or am I reading that wrong? three weeks of straight up liquids here - even creamy Soup seems problematic to our nutritionist. I would have been thrilled to be able to get that much liquid in that early - sounds like you are doing great!

I would not worry unless you start drinking liquid frappacinos or milkshakes haha. When you start solid food you will come to know what restriction feels like and it is serious business :) You are full very, very fast.

Every surgeon is different. Mine does 1week clear, next week full liquids, next week puree and next soft solids ;-). I've lost 13lbs in the first week and today is the first day of 2nd week.

Wow, I guess I'm lucky then because I only have1 day of clear then 2 weeks of full liquid.

Remember liquids are easier then solids, so you can probably take more right now. I thought the same thing when I was on liquids, but now that I have some semi solids I eat an ounce or two and I am stuffed....

      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.
