I'm three weeks in and getting nearly 1,000 calories a day. Are any other women having as many calories as that?

I can only get 700 to 800 calories a day, wish I could get to 1000.

I don't like fish or chicken so eat beef, lamb or pork. They are more calorific I think. I also eat low fat babybel cheese as an afternoon snack. I'm still losing so have stopped fretting about it. But I have bad constipation so need to figure that out LOL

I had my surgery on 10/31. Had issues with extreme fatigue and weakness. I was having trouble washing my hair because it was a chore to hold my arms up that long. As far as constipation issues... none here. I do, however, drink a boatload of broth. I have a difficult time with plain Water, so i've been making chicken broth. I see some of you who have gone back to work after 4 days or so.. I was in the hosp for 3 days.. cannot imagine having to go back to work so soon.

Tomorrow, I get to start soft solid food. I am very excited. Just in time for Thanksgiving.. LOL

@@coleen100 With regard to your heartburn, are you on any PPI ? When did you start to have heartburn? Is it all of the time, or do you know the triggers?

I was on ppi for 20 days post surgery then my surgeon asked me to stop. So the acid could level on its own. I never had any heartburn or acid reflux prior to sleeving. I now gave in and take zantac daily. The heartburn can be from Water. Lol
