alovio 76 Posted June 13, 2012 So today I went saw my bariatrics nut , she said I've lost 53 pounds in 6 weeks. I thought I was doing great. She was concerned. She ask what I was eating I told her I eat about 3 spoonfuls at a time. I am at about 600 calories per day. She said to bump it up to 1000 cals per day. Also gave an ekg to make sure ticker working good. I am jog 3 miles everymorning and hitting gym after work. I thought I was doing great . But she says if I work out hard I need to feed my body better. Makes sense , she said eat smart not small. I was sleeved on 4/20 and have lost 123 since Nov . 68 pre-op 1 tiffany bowen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ERnurseMN 6 Posted June 14, 2012 Wow I am 4 weeks out and have lost 16 since surgery and exercising 6 days a week, getting 50-60 of Protein and 60 oz of H2O. I am jealous! I keep my carbs below 40 too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
former_vbg 198 Posted June 14, 2012 Not sure what your surgeon/ NUT have advised, so by all means follow their plan- but 40 grams of carbs seems awfully high to me just being 4 weeks out. What is your Protein looking like? Are you already on full foods or mashed? Wow I am 4 weeks out and have lost 16 since surgery and exercising 6 days a week, getting 50-60 of Protein and 60 oz of H2O. I am jealous! I keep my carbs below 40 too.

Mr_Worm 129 Posted June 14, 2012 You sound much like me. I took off like a rocket and lost like 60 pounds in six weeks. But now I'm at my 6 month mark losing 2-5 pounds a week (down 110 pounds since Jan now). It will level off eventually for you. As long as your labs show Vitamin intake is fine and you're hitting the Protein mark it should be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Worm 129 Posted June 14, 2012 To add more on my post. I also do the no carb diet with no breads, flour, or sugars of any kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
