I'm very concerned. I am 3 months and 4 days post-op. I had the sleeve. I feel great! My surgery weight was 244 and tiday it's 187! I have dropped 3 clothing sizes! But my concern....I DO NOT TAKE IN ENOUGH CALORIES AND PROTEIN!!! Arghhh! I try ti eat. I push ti eat. I weigh out my portions. But i get 2 or 3 bus in and I'm done. I still can't tolerate some smells and some tastes of foods. I can't tolerate meats (this includes beef, chicken, and turkey). The highest amount of calories I have consumed a day has been 500, protein maybe 50. I'm losing weight fast but now I can actually feel my bones like when I sit out lay down. Any suggestions? Or am I being paranoid??

If you are more eating enough, you should at least hit your protein goal with the help of protein shakes. Getting enough protein is so important. I maybe 1-2 week ahead of you, I started at 255 and I'm now at 186, I'm also down 3 clothing sizes. I have been hitting my protein goal since 2 weeks post op. More days than not I'm over. You body seriously need the protein, if not it's going to take it from somewhere else, which is your muscles.

I wouldn't worry about the calories, at least for right now. As long as you obtain 80+ grams of protein (preferably from real food rather than shakes and bars), the rest will take care of itself.

4 ounces of chicken breast has 43 grams of protein. If you can eat 8 ounces of chicken breast per day divided into 3 or 4 meals, you've consumed your 80+ grams of protein.

My chicken breast only has 22g of protein per 4 oz, according to the package.
