I'm four months post-sleeve and I eat around 800 calories a day. I drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast each day. I have a slice of Colby cheese with a slice of Black Forest Ham for lunch. I have a handful of almonds for a snack. And I either have another Protein shake or another slice of ham and cheese for dinner

I had the sleeve. I'll be 6 months post-op tomorrow.
My daily meals change depending on what I have in the fridge, but generally, it goes like this:

1st meal: 1-2oz of some Protein (usually grilled chicken, but can be anything else) + 1/4 to 1/2 cup of some veggie
2nd meal: Protein Powder shake w/ instant Decaf and Benefibre
3rd meal: usually the same of what I had for the first meal.
*I try to keep my net carbs under 20g per day.

Under normal circumstances, I average about 500-600 calories a day. However, lately, I'd be lucky if I even reach 400 a day but this is because I am weaning off my PPI and I'm experiencing heartburn at times as a result so I'm not to keen on eating very much. Doc says my body is adjusting to being without it so I have to wait it out until my stomach stabilizes its acid production *crosses fingers*

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
