I feel the same. I am 10 months out and shoot for 11-1200 calories a day. At 8 weeks I was about 650-800 calories a day. I upped my intake at 6 months to the 11-1200 after being cleared to lift weights and start training for a 5K. I talked to my nutritionist who said to up my intake to make up for the amount being burned up while exercising. I exercise daily by walking/jogging for 35 minutes and I strength train every other day. Most days I burn up about 6-700 calories from exercise. I have had very few stalls and they last no more than a week.

I paid out of pocket for psych visit.

Yea as Jean9 said every dr and plan is different as I'm learning on this forum. And I'm certainly not trying to shake things up. I'm just trying to share what's going on with me so others can learn and know they are not alone in this journey

Protein waters are by far my favorite. I couldnt stomach anymore shakes after a while. My go to choice: Isopure Zero Carb Grape, Isopure Infusions, Bariatric Pal Fruit Drinks in Variety Pack, and Bariatric Pal Peach Tea

I preferred the Protein20 in bottles. I didn't find them as cloyingly sweet as some of the others.

That's totally me. 12/17 sleeve, down 20lbs all in week 1.. I havent lost at all since. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app

Well March right on in, HunterJsMom, you may be the first but I'm sure others will be joining you soon, but right Now you are our MS MARCH!

I can tell you I have more self-esteem now at 240lbs than I did at 140. I was skinny and fit and had a 6-pack and HATED my body. I thought I was the most disgusting thing to walk this earth. Becoming fat was in a twisted way a blessing because I learned to love me for ME and not for how I looked. I was vain and self-absorbed and would pick at every invisible fat roll when I was skinny. Self-esteem should never be connected to the way you look. The only reason it is for some people, I think, is because society says it's "bad and wrong" to be overweight. Well, as a former skinny person... if you don't love yourself, you won't love your body no matter how it looks. Now I hope to lose the weight so my inner confidence matches my outward appearance.
