8 Weeks Out Progress

[bigkim 109]

I am 8 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 35 pounds. I started at 261 lost 20 pounds on pre- op diet and 15 pounds since being sleeved 4/10.

I am ready to throw the scale in the trash. I have lost several inches but the scale is not moving. Still eating my Protein and Water.

Any advise. I don't count my calories because I eat so few. I eat when I am hungry and eat only until I feel full. I eat Protein first and then veggies, but after protein I don't have much room for veggies. An example would be....a whole can of tuna will last me an entire day. A Protein shake for Breakfast and chicken for dinner. Lots of Water.< /p>

It sounds like you aren't eating enough calories and you body is in starvation mode. How is your exercise level?

I think ur right. I just did the numbers on fitness pal and I have only had 205 calories today.

you know if you dont eat enough calories your body assumes you are "starving" and you will not lose....you may need to eat more...

I am 5.5 weeks out and per my NUT i am to eat between 600 - 800 calories a day..... So i would agree, you are not eating enough....Use MyFitnessPal for everything... If it says 1/2 c of anything and you don't eat the 1/2 c.... Change the serving... From 1 to ? .5 (if you only ate 1/4 c).... it tracks everything: Protein, carbs, calories, sugar...etc... Very helpful....

Add some food, good luck!
