I'm 7wks out and eat 600-800 cals a day with >65protein and <50 carbs. Hope this helps. I am going to an actual dietician on Thursday so will update if she enlightens me on anything. I am a very slow loser so maybe my advice is worthless!

I was sleeved on 2/20 so far lost 10 lbs I thought by now I would have lost more. These last 2 pounds to get under 200 are taking forever. Advice please!

My nut told me to take at least 1000 calories a day so that body doesn't go into the starvation mode and start storing fat I have followed the advise and have lost 40 lbs so far

I was sleeved on 1/10 and I'm currently eating/drinking about 600 cals a day. I manage to get between 50-60g protien and TBH I don't count carbs. I stay away from starches/breads, I don't eat junk and I drink only sugar free drinks.

At my 6 week check I had lost 42lbs since surgery.

See I'm confused I was sleeved on jan 8 th and my surgeon doctor and nut told me to do atleast 1200 calories a day with 150 grams of Protein I was on a stall but now I'm losing average of 5 lbs a week I have lost 40 lbs since but I am getting a lot of different answers hence the confusion

There is absolutely no way that I could ingest 1200 calories a day without adding junk food/drinks :lol: There is just not enough time in the day to drink the required Fluid, get the required protien and still have time to work and sleep :lol:

My surgeon/nut requirements were 64oz Fluid, 60-70g Protein. Most days, I still have trouble with that, there is no way I could do more.

edited to add:

However, if that's working for you, don't change it :lol:

Losing weight.. Sorry to be a pain but you should take into account that you are a man and these are women answering, so our intake will be different... You are eating and losing don't stress.

Stalls in weight loss are normal! No matter what your calorie intake is.

I will quit stalking you now :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
