I was sleeved on August 25th. I have lost 48 pounds post sugary. I am 6' and my starting weight was 319 pre and 301 post sugary. My question is how many calories should i consume? Currently I am consuming between 1400 and 1800 calories per day. I try to eat every 2 to 3 hours and drink 70 to 80 ounces of Water. I use a BodyMedia arm band to track calories burned, steps, and moderate to vigorous activity. On average I burn between 3200 and 3800 calories a day, get 1 to 2 hours of moderate activity, and 8 to 12 thousand steps a day. This gives me a calorie deficit between 1800 and 2000 calories. I have not lost any weight in 5 weeks. This is frustrating. I am getting in all of my Protein and eat fruits, vegetables and whole grain. What am I doing wrong. Am I consuming too many calories? HELP

Had surgery on 21st down 27 pounds including 10# 2 week pre-op diet. so far great.

Hi Sleeve Fans, I was sleeved on the 21st. So far so great!! I did start out slow I spent 4 days in the hospital because I couldn't pass that gas. I think it was the pain meds. Because as soon as I stopped them the gas flowed and now I feel great. I am on the soft diet now, it is so much easer then the pureed. My NUT said it was fine as long as my stomach could tolerate it. I started 2 days ago so far so good, getting plenty of water, protein and all vitamins. I feel so fortunate because after 4 day in the hospital I was scared I screwed up. I've seen a lot of posts about good tasting protein. If you like Chocolate Milk then you need to try " GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY". The Manufacture is OPTIMUM NUTRITION. It is pure whey protein isolates it taste grate. I mix it with 8oz of nonfat milk, put it in a blender bottle and it mixes smooth. It is so good my 8 year old son even likes it and he don't like anything. With the milk it gives you 32g of Protein, if you mix with water it 24g Protein. You can find it at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe but I see it everywhere. It is much cheeper then Isopure about half the cost. I hope this helps and thanks for listening.
