Hi! I'm a sleever too ... as of about 8 days ago. I'm still on liquids, so my caloric requirements are obviously not normal.0
-
I am 2 years out and have used myfitnesspal off and on. My doctor told me to stick to a 1200 calorie plan, so that's what I have set up. I try to eat around 80 to 90 grams of protein a day and limit carbs. I lost 75 lbs within about 4 months, but I have recently gained by 20, so I starting using this app again to get myself under control. Good luck to you!!1

sleeved too, looking for support and advice, would love to be friends with anyone who knows how this works or is trying to figure it out like I am~2

I was sleeved Aug 3, 2016. Always looking for support and advice on this journey. I'm now struggling with an extreme lack of energy. Being only around 3 weeks out I'm hearing its pretty normal due to the small amount of calories taken in. I'm staying well hydrated and getting very close to my protein goal every day. Any other advice on ways to build my energy levels?0

Sleeved on 7/14 so I'm a little over a month out. Struggling with my protein intake. Hopefully this app will help me.0

Sleeved 5/16. HW: 293. WL since day of surgery: 73. Current weight: 194. Would like to lose 40 more lbs. Looking for motivation, support, and accountability.0

Hi, sleeved 1\20\2016. I've only lost 40lbs since. I'm really frustrated. Hoping to connect with others who are post-sleeve, find some inspiration.1

Im curious how others are getting their protein and if others crave crackers\chips like I do?2

My name is Sue and I got sleeved 12/16/16. I just recently reached my 100 lb mark. I have had to switch doctors recently and the new plan is totally different than i have been used to. Almost crazy from what the other doctor told me. Started using this app about a month and a half ago. Do it religiously. Great way to help plan and track.
Looking for others like me who are a bit limited. I was told to eat 1200 calories a day but rarely come even somewhat close, unless I over eat, but then Ii hurt so I try not to do that. Somewhat limited on exercise because of back issues along with Achilles tendon issues.
Just looking to connect with others.0 -
Ozmaiya - I Do crave that crunch factor. I found some cheers crisps at Costco that really got the bill. A serving is 6 crackers and i believe there is 1 protein and only 1 carb per cracker.0

I had the sleeve done on June 8th. I try and keep my calories under 1200 as much as I can. My surgeon wants me to get between 70 and 80 grams of protein a day so that's what I shoot for. I don't pay as much attention to carbs since I eat so little sugar now but I do try and keep it on the lower side. I look at what the log on this site tells me as a guide as far as sodium, fat, etc.1 -
I keep below 1200 as that is what the doctor said. I NEVER reach that though. I usually end up about 800 -900. I shoot for 50% protein, 30% fat and 20% carbs because fruit and veg have some carbs too.0
-
Your calorie needs may vary, but 1000-1200 seems to be the sweet spot for most people. I shoot for 90+ grams of protein a day, and under 45g of carbs. I don't count fat grams, I just avoid anything hydrogenated. My nutritionist said to avoid all sugar like the plague, (including fruit) as it will only slow you down. I'm recommitting to my program today, as I've slipped further off track than I'd like.0

Bypass here, more than two years out. My assigned dietitian gave me a protein goal so that is what I watch.
Everyone I talk to who has had one surgery or another, list different intolerances. Mine are soft breads and cereal with milk. So I toast my bread. Oatmeal with Greek yogurt suits me just fine.0 -
Hello everyone, new to site, had sleeve surgery 9/22/16 - hope everyone is doing well!0
-
Hi all- I'm new here and going to follow this thread. I'm going to get sleeved in 2 days!0
-
How did everyone handle the holidays? This was my first real holiday since the surgery. Fell of plan a bit, but not too bad. think I need to detox from sugar again.0
-
Here's hoping @staff052509 came out of surgery OK. @smont72 I came through the holidays just fine. I'm maintaining my weight loss and that makes me happy.0

Gastric sleeve=bandaid.-1

The stitches in a gastric sleeve or a bypass are permanent and are definitely not band-aids.0

I have had the sleeve and it has been the only way that I have lost any weight of significates. 3 months out and down 61 pounds. HW 331, SW 311, CW 270 & I'm 66years old. Band aid? It's not magic, but a tool and it's up to the individual-like all things in life. The one thing is that it helps you by not being able to over eat = small stomach. You can cheat by eating around your sleeve - which means you can graze so you feel no restriction and the calories can add up, also by eating just unhealthy foods will also cause weight gain. The sleeve helps you to re-train yourself.0

I have just set up goals for calories - 900, and liquid intake at least 64 oz's. My program doesn't look at the other info (they don't even count calories, but I do) - if your only eating 16 oz's of food a day, they believe that your not going to have bad nutrients, of course you can't eat unhealthy, even eating that little!
Program recommends Baritastic app but I favor MyFitnessPal.

Sorry forgot to mention how I do it - I drink a high protein shake for breakfast, lunch is 3 oz protein, 2 oz vegetable and 1 oz healthy carb - same for dinner. Sometimes I won't have the vegetable or carb in a meal as I may have made a recipe that combines stuff but will either lack the veg or carb. Today made healthy eggroll bowl and I don't have a carb in it but for the wife I've wonton strips for her.0
