Stalled!

[chitowngirl 885]

You had ur surgery 10 days before me, and I eat about 800 calories. So I'd say your right on track.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to try and keep the faith and the 800 calories!

Hello all! I was sleeved on 4/16/12 and I lost 30 pounds very quickly. I've been stalled for the last two weeks. My bariatric surgeon deployed so I'm seeing a general surgeon for the moment. He says 1500 calories a day is about right and his nurse says 500. I picked 800 calories to be in the middle and I very rarely have that many. So my question is how many calories does everyone else have? I'm 5'3" and 220. Im starting to get very depressed' date=' what's the point of the surgery if I don't break 200? Is 220 as low as I'm going to get?[/quote']

Hi, I had my surgery on 3/5/12 an I was just like you I stalled and felt the same way but it only last a few weeks then i go back to losing like a pound a day for about a week then i stall again. Im not a dr but i cant see being able to get in 1500 calories a day. My dr didnt give me a number to shoot for i just try to eat three times a day. I know that it seems like a waste but at 214 I am smaller then i have been in over 20 years so i am happy. Just keep doing what you are doing and the weight will fall off :0)

I hope so. I'm getting depressed and frustrated. What's the point of the surgery if I don't lose weight? I could be eating all my fav tasty foods.

I been on a 3 months stall I hate the number 217 I tryed to change my eating habit . I increase my intake to 1200 back dwn to 800 cal but nothing now I'm depressed that all I'm going to lose

[mrsflyboybs 62]

3 months! That's a long time! I'm really sorry you're having a tough time. The last few days I cut out ALL carbs and did drop .6. It was mainly lowfat cheese and Protein Drinks. Very boring but it seemed to work.

[nwfoxycici 1]

[mrsflyboybs 62]

I did have shrimp and various fish as well.

I have been stalled for 9 months!!! I think I'll try going back to the very basics and kick start something. Thanks for sharing.
