Your protein needs go down as your weight does so it gets easier over time.

I was sleeved 09/18. Have lost 21 pounds since surgery. Hit a bit of a stall this week but am still very happy with what I've lost. Have had a few episodes of diarrhoea but I think that comes from trying to eat too much at one sitting. Old habits die hard!

Strangely enough I feel at my best when I don't eat. Protein has been a bit of a no-no with me. I can eat potatoes.

However I feel really good. I have so much more energy. I can now walk up the two short flights of stairs to my apartment and not be out of breath. I have already stopped two of my four blood pressure pills. My ankles are no longer 'cankles' which is a major bonus!

This op for me has been a lifesaver. I wouldn't change it for the world.

1/2 c egg beaters

1 laughing cow cheese

3 oz tuna

1 Tbsp light mayo

3 oz roasted chicken thigh

1 oz puréed carrots

1 oz mashed sweet potatoes

Snacks

5 oz light & fit Greek yogurt

4 oz unsweetened apple sauce

1/2 c non fat cottage cheese with 1 Tbsp strawberry all fruit spread mixed in

That's my usual day...

I try to eat 6 times a day every 2 hours... I usually eat my last snack by 8 pm... Then I'm done... Good luck!

KRM the gym is going very well...my Dr is not clearing me for weight training and core exercises until 6 weeks out..until then I am doing the eliptical and the treadmill...usually 35-45minutes split between the two machines!
