I had the gastric sleeve surgery December tenth I'm having two Protein shakes a day on in the morning and one a night in the afternoon is trying to have one puréed meal yesturday I actually did 2 onz of sliced turkey I don't have any Snacks and I drink many 4 tea six cups of Water a day I exercise 3 to 4 days a week for over an hour . I'm losing but am I not eating enough yum always under 500 and not meeting my Protein goals but having 3 meals a day so I justify it to myself maybe I should stop babying my self with the Protein Shakes and start wring myself off it's just been really hard for me to eat and also get in my liquids at the same time so that why I went back to the shakes .

You need to hit your Protein and liquid goals and everything else will fall into place. Right now those should be your priorities, not anything else.

I am a bit over 4 months out and I still can't get my Protein in without shakes and Protein Bars. My doc said get it in anyway I can. I find if I don't get in about 800 calories, I won't lose.

thank You I'm finding also that I am pushing my self too hard it's important on the weekends for that Saturday or Sunday for me to take one day and just sit it easier for me to get in all my fluids when I'm sitting down and relaxing all day at home rather than running around all week . I have to kind of slow it down . Also pintrist I was looking at the puréed stuff on there for bariatric some of the stuff on there looks preety good . I will defenitly run it by my nutrionist first but Interesting.

I still have a hard time getting all my fluids in too. When I am at home, I will set a timer that goes off every 5 mins to remind me to drink. It seems to help!

I'm was sleeved 12/27/16. I treat getting my 48-64 oz of Water, 90+ grams of Protein as a full time requirement. I'm holding right at 800-900 calories a day. I know I need now but current restriction isn't allowing that. I eat 5-6 times a day, including 2 shakes. My drs plan says eat that many times a day.

I eat 3xs a day including my Protein shakes as a meal I count the liquid from my Protein Shakes into my liquid for the day I don't eat more than 500 a day also natural carbs are starting to freak me out i don't do any carbs right now but carbs that are coming from my Protein and stuff like that I'm seeing which kinds of protein have more carbs . It's just kind of giving me a carb phobia.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
