Went to my 7 week post op appointment today and the dr and I think I'm eating too much sodium and retaining fluids. What is everyone eating? I really need some fresh ideas! What does your typical day look like? How much are you eating and how many cal, carbs, protein, etc are you eating a day? I didn't have to meet with a NUT since I'm self pay so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Breakfast: Greek yogurt with triple berry mixture (buy it frozen at Costco) over top. 145 calories

Snack: reduced fat Colby jack cheese string

Lunch: 1 oz almonds, 1 oz diced deli meat

Snack: premier Protein shake

Dinner: 2-3 oz meat of some type

Snack: another cheese string.

Still trying to work on getting my calories up, typically get around 800/day

Thanks for the response!! ❤️

At 2 months I think I was at about 700 calories a day. A common goal is 80 g Protein and less than 40 g carbs.

I was drinking 2 Protein drinks a day (often 1 in place of breakfast) 3 tiny meals and 2 Snacks. A typical day would be: Syntrax Cappuccino for Breakfast, 2 oz of cottage cheese snack, chicken salad for lunch, Sliced turkey breast lunch meat or string cheese snack, and Tilipia with 2-3 bites of veggie for supper. I usually had a second Protein Drink around 8 or so.

I didnt really start eating much veggies until around 3-4 month, just because my capacity for food was so small. Now I do my meals about half protein and half veggies, and have a protein drink if my protein is looking low for the day.

My day starts very early so on my way to work(5am) I eat 1 baby bell cheese

Around 8 I have 1 scrambled egg white and I can never finish it.

Around 11:30 I have half a veggie patty and some Pickle slices

Snack around 2:30 is usually a string cheese or some cashews

dinner around 6pm is 2 cucumber slices with chive and onion cream cheese and deli turkey on top

I'm 10 weeks out now and my weekday is usually like this ...

Breakfast My Protein hot latte in 20oz Water.

lunch is fish/meat with veg/salad

Afternoon I have a protein drink in 4 oz water.

dinner meat/fish with veg

30 minutes before bed I have a slow release protein drink which isn't my fave but it's doing the job!

I'm only three weeks out and I was advised to eat between 500 to 600 calories. I do this by eating 2 eggs for breakfast, 2 oz chicken for lunch, and 2 oz salmon for dinner. For a snack I have 5.3 oz vanilla Greek yogurt. I also get I 8 oz of Unjury chicken soup which has 21 grams protein. I end my day with 74 grams protein and 570 calories. I hope this helps.

Pre-surgery I took a diuretic for high blood pressure. Drs at discharge told me I could stop diuretic. But then I got swollen hands and feet and started gaining weight. I started back on my diuretic and now everything's back to normal. So if you stopped a diuretic that might be a problem creating fluid retention.

Wow! I am 6 and half months out and still cant eat 2 eggs!

Oddly enough, I can eat a boiled egg, but scrambled/fried/omelette are all a no go for my sleeve! Eggs and I have a tenuous relationship so I never eat more than one just for that reason

I'm about 6 weeks out. Breakfast: 2 oz oatmeal with skim/lactose free milk, half a scrambled egg. Lunch: 2-3 oz tuna fish with light mayo on 3-4 whole wheat crackers. Dinner: zucchini spaghetti and sauce, or broiled fish with vegetables, or homemade brown rice and lentils - no more than 1/2 cup of whatever. My night binges are hard to beat so I have 2 oz of Greek yogurt with Splenda shortly before going to bed. I'm doing ok, losing somewhere around 2-3 lbs a week.

I am ten weeks out and am having a hard time getting 4 ounces of any kind of beef or chicken down. I take two bites and I'm full. If I try to keep eating to get more protein I get sick. Does this get better? I have no problem with yogurt, cheese and shakes.
