January 10th marked 1 month sleeved for me and I honestly am not eating very much and it kind of scares me. I'm worried about my Protein intake and such. What are one month sleevers eating? Or anyone sleeved in November or December? I need like a meal plan. Any advice please? Direct messages welcomed!

I still drink a premier Protein shake every AM, just to make sure I get the Protein, and that starts the day with 30gms. The doc said they like you to get the protein from regular food, but 1 supplement a day, either a shake or Protein Bar is OK, but only 1. I am 5 months out.

What food phase are you in? That might help us figure out some good suggestions for you. At 30 days I was on soft foods still.

I eat about 850 calories each day fairly consistently. I hit my 80 g Protein each day. I have a thin cup of coffee each morning, it helps me poo (don't judge.) And I eat half a zone perfect bar at work over the course of the morning. Then school lunch option (sometimes a half chicken Patty or a short cup of Beans or their boiled yellow squash, something like that, but I can't ever finish it in one sitting. I take it back with me and finish it two hours later) I drink a Protein Drink. Premier is my favorite, over ice and usually over two or three hours. A cheese stick gets in there somewhere and Soup for dinner. Maybe a yogurt popsicle if the calorie count allows. I count the cals... Every day.

I have tried lots of foods I am not supposed to be ready for yet, and don't think I've done any damage. If it does not go down easy, I stop, and back up to mostly liquids. I had half a piece of pizza the other day. No problems. Beef, not so good. I had ricotta bake the other day and it was good, but the same thing today, and three bites on I wanted to barf. Only barfed once since sleeve Dec. 8. That was the dry trout. Ick.

I believe that it's all a matter of calories, protein, and liquids. If I drink them all or chew, it makes little to no difference if I stay in parameters.

I am down 25 pounds from surgery day, 30 from "go" date (11/23) I think it's a nice steady decline I can live with.

Right now I'm on modified regular foods for the next 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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
