I been told i should be taking in least 1000 calories. I get in maybe 600 cals in a day. I can only eat like 2 tablespoons and feel full and cant eat anymore. I have no problem taking in liquids that goes down easy but foods different story. My surgery for the sleeve was nov 19.2013. So just over 4 wks. Just wondering if others are having same issue

Do the best you can. Everyone's pouch has it's own unique preferences, lol! Our pouches are or can be quite temperamental. This is a one day at a time journey. The denser the Protein the fuller you'll feel and quicker. If a particular food doesn't agree with you right now, leave it alone for a couple of weeks. Even with me, 17 months out, there are days my pouch is stubborn and I have to really push myself to try to get close to my calorie intake. Other days, no problem whatsoever. It's still early for you. So, don't worry. You've got a whole community here to support you. As always, if your concerns increase, call you surgeon's office.

Thanks girl for your advise i appreciate it alot.

Please use the proper term "sleeve"!!! I said pouch and was quickly corrected. I don't care what it's called. It saved my life and I'm glad about it!!! To you and your family have a very "Merry Christmas"!!!
