I lost 9 pounds before surgery on 12/26/12. Day of surgery I was 248 and I'm at 211 now. That's 37 pounds since surgery and 46 overall. It looks like this may be on par with everyone else. I thought I was a slow loser but maybe not? I could use some help though. I average about 600 calories a day Lots of people say to up your calories to boost your metabolism but I can't figure out how to get that done. Any suggestions?

My sleeve was 12/3 and typically I was eating 400-600 now I'm getting 600-750

I added non fat Greek yogurt that is made with goats milk and cow milk organic from Kroger for 150 cal it's 5 oz some days I can eat it all some days just about 4

Try cheese I love getting the 2% cheese cubes and 2 slices of deli ham. Great Protein and around 150 calories

My dr does not want me to eat more than 600 a day. I could easily get there by adding an extra string cheese or whole boiled eggs instead of just the whites.

That just shows every surgeon is different mine wants 800-900 daily which is hard but when I was only getting 400-600 I would get light headed a lot. What's funny to me is before dec I could eat 3000 calories a day and not blink now I fight for 700! I love this new life

Highest weight 254

12/4 started preop diet 244

12/17 surgery 234

Current weight 204

I'm in a stall but okay with it. At least I'm not gaining and food doesn't control my life in the way it did. I actually finding it difficult to find anything that I enjoy eating. Greek yogurt is the only thing that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. But I really don't enjoy eating anymore. It is more of a check mark on my to do list. I wonder if that will change.

I was sleeved on 12/13. I am down 37.5 lbs. I started at 195 and my goal is 115. I am happy to say I am now just considered overweight and not obese. I am in a stall right now. My only other stall was only about 1 1/2 weeks. Slow but steady. I am hoping it helps with the extra skin. My only frustration with this stall is that I am 2 1/2 lbs from a BIG goal. I would be half way!

At last check a week ago, I've lost a total of 56 pounds. I'm below 300 for the first time in a long time. I have had issues with my Iron levels and now my Vitamin D is low. Unfortunately, both make you tired, lucky me! I haven't been exercising as much as I would like to because my energy is so low some days. I'm fighting my second bad cold since surgery now, awesome. I have enough snot for 3 people. Hopefully it will pass soon.

Zero Hair loss here. Not taking anything extra or doing anything different. I'm a 40 year old man and (knock on wood) still have all my hair.< /p>

My BMI is high and I haven't lost nearly as fast as some, but I'll take it. I barely ever work out which is likely the difference. it isn't easy when you're this old, this heavy, full of arthritis, and busy with work and family all the time. BUT: I now weigh about what I did 18 years ago. Next stop, high school weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
