What has your doctor told you to eat/or what not to eat over the next year?

400 calories a day for a year is downright unhealthy. Heck even your high side of 600 calories and such low carbs should not give you enought strength to take a brisk walk! We all know what we should stay away from, fried foods and the like but be careful and maybe talk to more than one NUT to get a second opinion. Sleeve diets vary so much! Find one that you lose on while maintaining a decent energy level. Good luck in your journey!

Why stay away front beef for a year? Great source of Iron which you will certainly be lacking after the op due to restricted intake .... after a year of deprivation of those foods I hope it doesn't lead to gain like all other low carb diets when you introduce them back in your diet.

Thanks guys! I thought this was a very restricted diet. I believe that 1,000 calories a day should be fine and 60-80 of Protein and 30-45 of carbs. I so very much agree that this process is about learning how to eat normally and not a race to lose 100 lbs. I work full-time, on my feet, I feel like I need the energy. Besides such restricted carbohydrates worries me about my acid-base balance and kidney stones. They do a thousand or more surgeries a year. I cannot believe that every patient follows this very strict diet. I plan to stick to what you guys are doing. If it takes longer to lose weight, that's cool, as long as it goes down.

Thanks Again

My nut does not have life diet. We progress at month 3. Then 6 then 12.

I get 60-80 grams Protein

45-60 carbs

25 grams fat

That is about 400-550 calories per day for now. Long term will have 900-1100 calories per day
