How many calories are you eating?

I was sleeved on Feb 28th starting weight 205 current weight 173 so a total of 32 lbs. I have hit a stall and I am very concerned. I worry to much. Can the stomach stretch back out? I am able to eat 900 calories a day. I work out 3 x a week at Zumba and do an elliptical the other 4 days a week. I think I just need the scale to budge, I would like to see 169 lbs soon.

I was sleeved Feb 28th and have lost 30lbs. I have lost 1lbs in the last 2 weeks. HELP!

You guys are great, thanks. I am going to start keeping a log of what I eat and really step up the exercise.

I have a 32 bougie. Sorry don't know what it means.

Include me please!

I was sleeved on Feb 28th also here is Dallas. I am struggling with getting motivated to exericse more and have some pain when eating. I would love to chat with any Feb sleevers. Great Job All!

I am 7 weeks out and I too love any bean. Refried beans, green beans, garbonzo beans etc. I too am having to learn how to eat as well. I have lost almost 30lbs but have been stuck at that for 2 weeks. Try BEANS YUMMY!

I am 7 weeks out and I have lost 29 lbs. I feel pretty good. I am trying to transition into solid foods, but I am scared I will stretch my new tool or gain weight. Anyone else feel this way. I feel as if I am reversing my food addiction from all the food to no food. Help!

You are awesome. Thanks a bunch!!!!!

I was sleeved at Forest Park as well on Feb 28th by Dr. Kim. I am feeling pretty good, I really need to step up the exercise. How are you doing?

I was sleeved Feb 28th and everything has been going well. Lately I have been have a dull ache between my shoulder blades and around my best breast bone. It almost feels like there is something stuck there. I am still on liquids but I did try some yogurt. Please let me know if this happened to you early on post op.

How do you guys have that weight tracker? I tried to do it but do not know how to get it on my profile.

I was sleeved on Feb 28, 2012 and I have been doing so well. Today for some unknown reason I at a piece of lunch meat. It scared me so bad. I called the doctor and they asked if I am having pain, I am not. I had my check up and barium swallow yesterday and everything is fine. I am still totally freaking out and I am embarassed. I am posting this because I hope I am not the only one to have messed up. Also I just need reassured that I will most likely be okay as long as I stay on the diet put forth from my doctor.

I had to do a pre-op diet of just liquid protein shakes. 3 weeks liquid post-op. 2 weeks mushie and then 2 weeks of transitioning into small, tiny solids. My doc suggest 3 meals a day with 2 protein snacks. I am so excited for the mushy stage. I am craving cottage cheese. Good luck all.

Again thanks for all the responses. I feel fine today, I think I really stressed yesterday. Boy I will never do that again. I guess you can change a fat girls stomach but not her brain. I really need to pay more attention to my body and treat this tool I have been given as just that a tool and not a magic wand.

You guys are so great, thanks. I think I was causing myself pain by stressing out thinking that I am going to cause a leak and then die. I am so dramatic. I am loving this site.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes I am 9 days out. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I did chew very well. It just really scared me after I realized what I had done. The doctors post op diet is 3 weeks liquids, 2 weeks mushies and then on to small portions. Thanks again!
