4 months post op calories and weight loss

[danic-j 1]

Hi I was just wondering at 4 months post op how many calories a day were you eating and what was your monthly weight loss? Also how much we're you able to eat at one sitting ?

I'm at 4 months. I eat between 800-1000. But keep my carbs under 20. I lose 1.5-2 pounds a week, which I'm quite happy with.

Let's see.....

8 med steamed shrimp

1 cup of creamy Soup

4oz salmon

1 White lasagna wonton cupcake

1 cheese stick & an Atkins peanut cluster bar

Any of those keeps me full for about 3 hours. I haven't conquered chicken yet and I don't eat red meats. Last night I 'treated' myself to Pasta. 1/4 cup and I was stuffed. To the gills. I was SO uncomfortable. I suspect Pasta is a food that goes down too quickly to be able to give me feedback, so I'm done with pasta for a long time. I hate the overstuffed feeling. Pasta was my absolute fav food so I'm kinda glad that sleevey didn't like it.

I can easily take 400 ml at a time 1, 1/2 months post op. Is it normal ?

Hi Indian. That's roughly 13.5 ounces, which I can eat or drink in about 10 to 15 minutes. I am three months out.

OP, I am short of the time period you specified and asked about, but I can tell you that so far I am taking in about 900 to 1000 calories and losing about 2lbs per week. My biggest struggle is fighting off bad carbs
