no breakfast, lunch was some chicken Soup and a yogurt. Dinner..mmmm.. I had homemade pizza. It was so damn good ! I was lucky and able to eat the crust as well. 3 months banded and feeling good. Weight loss is slow going, but im the only one who controlls that and im happy with the results so far. And isn't that why we get this surgery? To make ourselves happy?

Hi, I enjoyed reading these daily intakes. I have a few questions. I noticed that most were under 1,000 calories. Is that typical? I'm not sure I could keep up my energy with so little. I am newly banded and realize I won't be eating real food for awhile but I want to be mentally prepared. Sandy

Oh, I eat way more than 1000 and Ive gotten to a healthy weight. I may have to go that low to do the fine tuning though, its much harder to lose now.

I exercise instead - I'd rather eat and exercise.

Yesterday I had

breakfast: bircher muesli

snack: coffee

lunch: caesar salad and a few mouthfulls of orange juice

snack: banana

dinner: beef schnitzel and steamed vegetables

I'm with Jachut...I like to eat way too much to drink shakes for meals. That is not really a healthy way IMO anyways because really, in all actuality, how many years do you really think you could drink your meals. I was bored the first two weeks out of surgery, so I can't see drinking a meal. I understand that some people can NOT eat at certain times of the day and so they drink a Protein meal. I am talking about those people who drink their meals just because. I eat a lot of food during the day though. I have no fills, but I do have restriction. I can not eat like I use to. I eat way more than a 1000 calories too. I like it that way though. I LOVE FOOD!!! I am losing about 4-5 a week so I don't really consider that a bad loss. Deanna

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
