I'm 11 weeks post op. Have lost 37 lbs after VSG, but lost weight prior to surgery, so I'm down a total of 65lbs rn. I aim for at least 800cal a day...to 1000cal. Also try to get in at least 80-100g of protein daily as well. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

What?! That's great. I'm not sure why you're complaining. Sorry, but, that's a lot. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I kinda felt the same when I had my VSG in October 2021. I had lost like 16 lbs and stayed that way for a while, eventhough I felt I was eating appropriately. Keep in mind that this a tool, so u still have to work hard to lose the weight. I've felt I've had to work extra hard, more than others. But u gotta keep going. I would say log everything u eat ans measure everything. It's possible you're not eating enough or eating too much. I found was eating only like 400-500cal. A day. U would think I'd be dropping weight like crazy but I wasn't. I pushed myself to eat at least 800-1000 calories daily and I've been losing weight a little more steadily. Also bring your concerns up to your nutritionist & surgeon. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I would just say try to eat smaller portions. Make sure protein is your priority in every meal. See if u can use a high 30g protein shake as one of your snacks or meals, see if that helps u stay fuller longer. I think if u can eat smaller meals that are lower carb...eventually, hopefully your cravings for more food will subside. Gl!! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm only 7.5 weeks post-op. I was getting about 400-500 calories in around 4 weeks post-op. However, my nutritionist did not like that & said I need at least 600, up to 900. I average about 800-1k daily. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Well, if they're saying you need a comorbiditie, like diabetes, then unfortunately, that's what blood tests would have to show to be approved. That's what happened to me. I have Amerigroup, but I heard Molina is similar.. I was denied bc I didn't have that or debilitating joint issues (something to that effect)...I was pre diabetic when I submitted my paperwork. I retested and I found out I was in fact diabetic. I was approved quickly thereafter. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm wondering from ppl that are around 6 weeks post op...what are your macros & calories? Daily protein? Are you still losing? how many meals are you eating daily? Thanks [emoji846] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Probably gas pains... even at 8 days post op, everyone is different, but I would tell your surgeon & see what they recommend. If it is worrisome, go get checked out. Better safe than sorry. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

1/4c at meals at 6weeks post op...I believe my nutritionist would tell u to get that to 1/2c and then to 3/4c. I think you might be consuming too few calories. I'm in the same boat. 6 weeks post op and A LOT of stalls already. Be careful with fruits. Still have lots of sugars. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Well I'm 6 weeks out and I hit a stall at 2, 4 & now my 6th week. Now, that's frustrating. I would look at your macros, water intake and vitamins. Calories as well. Might have to eat more calories, less or more protein. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm your wls twin. I was avg. About 300-500 calories. My nutritionist and surgeon were not happy with how little my calories I was eating. Encouraged to eat a minimum of 600, up to 900 calories. They want me aiming for 90g of protein daily and more frequent high protein meals. I have had like 3 stalls on my journey. It has be mentally tough on me. However, I will say that when I'm eating 1k calories...I feel better. I broke my stall. So, I'm not sure why they're wanting u to literally starve yourself. That's crazy to me.

Had my surgery a few days ago. Am having a REALLY hard time consuming the liquids I need. I mostly have water or watered down minute made zero juice. Since my surgery. I've only hit an average of 15 oz of water each day! Anyone else having this issue? Tomorrow is my full liquid diet transition, since it'll be my 4th day post op, so, I'm hoping things will be better. I do have an issue with drinking my oz of water, but it being pretty uncomfortable for me. Feels like there's a little ball there that burns a little...kinda makes me scared to drink.

Well...if you're not happy, then, yes, I'd fond a new doctor. Not sure how that would effect your progress though (for weightloss surgery). Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Just found this app. So, I guess I'm getting a little worried. I have lost about 2 pounds in 1 week on the liver shrinking diet. It seems ridiculous. I'm not drinking very many protein drinks, maybe that's the issue?...just mostly water, low sodium broth and no sugar drinks, no carbonated drinks..or decaf coffee with a proteinshake in it.. I'm just so annoyed. Really thought I'd be like 5 pounds down by now. Anyone else having any of these issues? Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes a small high protein meal Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

So I only lost 20 pounds prior to being approved...then several days b4 the doing the preop diet. I dropped like 7 pounds. So, I'm thinking more protein powder in my drinks or a protein drink and a light gym session. Gonna start that tonight. Let u guys know the results in the next few days. (Also I do eat 1 meal. Usually airfried chicken with veggies or salad Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app
