Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!

The only suggestion that I can offer is that I have upped my calories a tiny bit and am losing actually faster. I was always up till now 600 to 650 calories for the day 60 to 70 grams of Protein. I am now around 700 to 750 calories and 70 to 80 grams of protein. Last week I lost 5 and this week I lost 4. I was sleeved 10/11/12. Up until now I was losing approximately 2 pounds per week. Maybe you are eating too few calories?

You have a great thought here... I need to start tracking again & see if too few calories is the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!!

I'm going back to basics. I've been craving and eating carbs like crazy. I'm only 12 pounds from goal so I need to get serious.
