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

[Decembersleever 154]

Good ideas. Thanks!

For the last 3 days i have gotten in 900-1200 easy!

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.

Yes ma'am and I think its because my bmi was so high. I was 350 lbs at my largest. I work out regularly and get my Protein in and stick to a lot of Soups mostly. And I snack a I'm suppose to Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh and not to mention I'm 27.

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.
