I am two weeks post op. My plan called for a solid week of Clear Liquids, and now I have been on full liquids (protein drinks, malt-o-meal, greek yogurt without fruit chunks, Soups made with milk, etc.)

During the day, I follow a schedule and consume between 3-4 ounces of non-protein heavy options. I also get in my Protein options. I am consuming right around the recommended amount of 65 grams.

I am drinking clear non-caloric liquids all day (except for 30 minutes before and after the “meal”).

During the day, I do get a little hungry, but I am easily satisfied by following the prescribed plan.

At night, I feel hungry.

I am not sure what to make of this… I want to believe it is head hunger… but I am worried that it is not.

I was moved to full liquids last Friday – and the weight loss has been very slow since then.

I am generally getting in about 600 calories a day.

I have always skewed my food so that I had more in the evenings. I do this by not eating until about 10am and putting a little extra time between my meals in the early afternoon. I have always wanted to eat more in the evenings, so this trick has served me well during my post-op journey.

And, clearly it has worked. :-) Wow!

That is interesting. Working on not eating in the evening was one of my pre-op nutrition goals, so I have been feeling like I just should not do that.

Thank you for the feedback!

      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.
