I have been told that is ok! Everyone here seem to get slightly different info but generally if you stay vigilant to your calories, Protein and Fluid intake-- it's all good!

Protein is a muscle builder. As you lose weight, you want to maintain muscle mass while losing the fat. What you have there is typically what bodybuilders drink. That's a lot of calories. Personally, I would drink it. I have nice muscle definition(under my fat, lol) from my bodybuilding days that I have been able to maintain through Vitamin supplementation(Branch chained amino acids and CLA/ALA/GLA) and protein consumption. As I am losing weight, I am still maintaining that definition. Consider this: Calories in/Calories out. If you're diet is supposed to be roughly 1000 calories per day(which is crazy low) and you lift weights and do aerobic exercise, depending on the activity, you're going to lose weight. We're supposed to consume anywhere from 1600-2000 calories a day( a healthy person, that has 60 minutes of aerobic activity and is at their goal weight). 1200 calories is still a loss, from average. I know I'm rambling...;)

Bottom line: If your goal is 1000 calories for a loss and you consume 1400 calories then you must find an activity where you burn 400 calories. spinning for 1hr, depending on intensity, would do it. Lifting weights will rev up your fat burning machine and keep it running throughout the day. as long as your active and your caloric intake isn't out of control, you should be fine.

Is it to much calories 280 but 60 g Protein ? I thought it was ok but I'm new ?? Help

140 calories for 30g of Protein is okay. You should split it up into two servings. Make sure it doesn't contain too much sugar though.

This sounds like my GNC amplified wheybolic Protein shake-exact same specs and only 2 gms of sugar. I researched many different Proteins and tried very many and found this one to be highest protein content for calorie count and sugar content. I also liove the taste of the chocolate!

      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.
