Anyone Having This Problem?!?



Recommended Posts

I am a little over 3 months post op. I have lost more inches than weight which is great! I am experiencing some issues though. I can't seem to control my calories. I keep in mind that I want high Protein and low carbs/fat. I don't usually concern myself with a caloric number, but here is my pattern: for a week I will average anywhere from 500-709 calories then I will go a week or so that I can't eat more than 150-250 calories a day! I can't get any nutrition or food in and if I do try to eat little bits at a time, I throw up within 10 minutes of eating! It is unnerving bc those weeks I don't lose weight and last week I gained! I'm struggling. The weight is coming off and so are the inches, but I literally can't eat some weeks! Anyone else having issues?

DOS: 8/28/12- 276. Lbs

Last weigh in (last week) 231 and down 47 inches total... There are my stats!

Yes...I share the same issues...i was sleeved on 8-17-12...have lost 56# and many inches...to maintain the weight loss i have not been counting calories but increasing my fluids....when i eat too fast i phlegm up...so i would say we are blessed with little sleeves and keep learning how to care for them...some days u can eat and some i get reminded real quick to stick with fluids...soups etc.

Take care

Yes I have that issue too. My doc says it will get better. Hang in there. I'm 12 weeks out

I am 7 weeks out and I have the eating issues, same as you. I don't weight myself but every 2 weeks, so I don't know if the weight is fluctuating. I make sure I drink the Protein shakes when I am not doing solids.

I am losing slowly, but the inches are really coming off. I went from a 3X blouse to a XL. I don't even know my pants size; I hang out in yoga pants and they are getting loose.
