Second thoughts
I have been eating 800 calories and have only lost 5 lbs in 7 days. I started at 220. On Sept 20 I was 218. Preop diet started 2/21. My Sept 24 weight is 213. What if I dont loose 10 pounds before surgery? If my metabolism slows down this much at 800 calories am I really going to lose that much after surgery? I am tracking everything faithfully on Livestrong.com so I know I am not cheating. My protein is 70-120 gm per day. Everything is low carb that I eat.
I am wondering if I should do the vertical sleeve but my surgery is paid for and the date is looming ahead... September 28.
I am drinking the protein shakes without difficulty as they taste fine to me. Just really worried that I will not be successful after surgery or that I will be spending a significant amount of money with very little results.
I guess second thoughts are normal . I am not questioning my motivation to maintain the postop diet but I am wondering how my body is going to respond to it.
