Oh my. After reading all of these posts I'm discouraged. I've been religiously tracking all of my food and aiming to stay between 800-1000 calories a day. I was sleeved on 3/12 and since day of surgery I've only lost 17 pounds -- in 57 days. Now it would seem I'm eating too much and there have been days I've gone above my daily goal. I certainly can't overeat at one sitting, but it doesn't seem like I'm satisfied. Still battling hunger and I have been doing the Protein and Water religiously. I get 80-100g protein/day. Should I drop down to 600-800 a day? My nutritionist said my body is in starvation mode and to just be consistent and the weight will start to come off. I just don't feel I'm going to be a successful as others. I want to be a success story!

I'm glad to have found this post, too. It's the reason I signed up for this site. I had my gastric sleeve on 3/12 -- I weighed 291 on day of surgery. Now, 27 days later I'm only down to 282. Nine pounds in 27 days -- isn't that awfully slow? I'm eating 800-1000 calories a day. I emailed my nutritionist with copies of my food journals for some insight. I'm so discouraged. I don't want to have gone through all of this and not lose significantly. I kept thinking maybe this is like the notorius "week 2" on The Biggest Loser, but where is my rebound?? Help!
