I had surgery 10 weeks ago on Monday. I have days where I fill up fast and hardly meet my 800 calories then I have other days where I can't seem to get full and end up eating 1000 or 1100 calories. I meet my Protein and Water goals but I just feel like I'm failing when I have one of these bottomless pit kind of days. Does this happen to everyone? I am down 50 lbs in the 10 weeks but the first 30 came off the first 3 weeks after surgery and the next 20 took the other 7 weeks. I feel like I am failing. I need some words of encouragement or someone who has been through it to tell me I will succeed at this.

I've tried so many and gagged my way through most of them but I finally found one that's amazing. Iso100, I had the fudge brownie, and it was sooooooo good! Would love to hear about what others like.

I'm 6' 363 lbs and am having trouble finding others with similar stats that made it to goal. My goal is 180lbs. My personality is one that will get protein water and exercise in while staying between 600 and 800 calories. If I do everything right will I be able to reach 180? Or is that too much weight to lose with the sleeve? I appreciate any input! Thanks. Ps looking at February surgery date. Just trying to figure out if the sleeve is the right option for me. It's the one I'm comfortable with.

600-800 calories is what they told me I needed to stay at for the first year. is that not right? -

I'd like to add that I was fully confident until yesterday when I asked the nut and she wasn't encouraging that 50% body weight, 100% excess weight is possible at my size. -
