I am having about 600 calories a day. Do you think that is enough?

Hi @acruise28 we were both sleeved on same day, I have lost 24lbs since surgery and I do have low energy levels as well and also eating about 500-600 calories. Dr said it was normal at this stage. I see him again Saturday and they will start me on some exercise and I assume they will ask me to up my intake as I don't see how at this level I can do much at all besides walking. As for now they told me to just focus on getting about 30 grams of Protein a day. Hang in there and keep me posted, I'll do the same.

You are only a couple weeks postop, low energy is the name of the game this early. Took me about 3 months to feel 100%.

Oh, goodness! Did the doctor say how long he/she expects you to need the tube? What was happening before they put the tube in?

I go see him on the 17th to see if my levels have increased enough to take it out, but after my surgery i was just constantly throwing up everything that i consumed even when i tried to do i teaspoon every 15 minutes to the point i started to not being able to keep my Water down he ran so many test and couldn’t find anything til finally he did a scope and seen that the top part of my stomach is cut a little narrow than the bottom so it easily comes back up and i was throwing up so much it inflamed the lining of my esophagus and stomach so that’s why my water started coming back up so he have me some kind of medicine that coats my stomach so i take that before i put Protein Shakes and water down my tube i have had it for 2 weeks now@berry78

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
