Just about everyone says you need to eat more to stay out of the starvation mode, to lose weight.

How many calories are you eating on a average to to this?

I am still strugling with stalls. I am eating about 700 cals a day and 6 weeks out . Most days I excerise and burn around 200 cals.

I'm 3 weeks out and I'm getting 300 calories a day if I'm lucky. I'm losing about a pound a day.

everyone's bodies are different. i say track your calories and see what works best for you for a while. that is what i had to do.

i do best around 1000-1200 on the days i exercise for an hour. on the days i don't i go between 700-900. that is when i get the best loss. it is getting harder and harder to lose tho the smaller i get. i have not lost anything for 2 weeks now!! :angry: and it is sure not for lack of trying! SIGH!

I stay between 600-800 a day. When I exercise the interval between losses is shorter but it comes off anyway in the end. I track Protein, carbs, calories, and Water.< /p>

I am terribly confused and frustrated with the whole calorie thing. I bounce between 1500-1000(1500 on exercise days)calories a day on maintenance . I got myself one of those body buggs like Biggest Loser. It measures how many steps and how many calories I burn a day and it factors in age height and weight. According to it after wearing it a week I burn on the average 2300 calories a day! I know that if I were to eat 2300 a day I'd gain! The numbers don't make sense. Oddly enough last year before my sleeve exercising just a bit less then I am now it calculated my daily expenditure was 2400.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
