Hello my fellow sleevers,
I have come to you for reassurance cos I am sure I'll find the answers here. I am not sure I am losing as much as I should and don't know why cos I believe I am doing as I should. For example my daily intake I believe is even lower than I should be having, yesterday for example I had half a pot of jelly, thick soup (made out of mashed potato in chicken soup), 1.5 litres of watered juice. I saw my nurse and surgeon two days ago and she reckons I'm not eating enough and taking enough fluids but I am trying its just hard to drink when you can only take sips. I haven't been able to go back to the gym but definitely going back next week.
My weight loss figures are- I weighed 97.8 at my first assessment before I had my op date, 95.8 on day of surgery and as at two days ago 91.1 and I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong I know I am losing weight as I can see it (belly is gone down ), clothes are beginning to fit better as well, but when I look around the forums it seems like people have lost a lot more than this at this stage.
Am I doing something wrong, is it not drinking enough, lack of protein or not enough exercise or I'm just panicking. Also I feel hungry sometimes but just a quick hunger pang - is this right?
Please help
