I was using almond milk but its kind of pricey. Someone told me soy milk can cause cancer so I don't wanna drink that. I want to cut calories as much as possible so maybe I'll just suck it up and stick to almond milk. How many calories should I be consuming at 5 weeks? I know everyone is different but I feel like I eat too much.

My RD said to focus more on Protein than calories the first couple of months, but on average she said most people are getting about 600 calories during this time.

Ditto. My RD has me at 700-800 calories and 80-100 grams of protein per day. I'm almost 8 weeks out.

Are you still losing? I get 600-1000 cal a day (usually 800), 63-70 protein and 64-80 ounces if Water and only lose 1-2 pounds a week. The first 2 weeks lost 12 pounds. I am in week 5 and still only 1-2 pounds a week for weeks :( I see my doctor next week but feel like I am doing something wrong. Not sure if I should cut out more calories or add a little more. It is confusing..

I like this recipe my nut gave me: 1 cup part skim ricotta add grated lemon peel, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Splenda packet. Mix it up and separate into 2 portions. I like this as a dessert. Good Protein. I do like the eggface site. She has awesome recipes and she also recommends the SF Torani syrups which I hope to try soon. Maybe you could use the syrups with plain Greek yogurt to make it more appealing. ;-)

A few weeks back I hit a pretty big stall, then started losing inches, now I'm losing pounds again, but it's slow as well; however I feel this is my fault in a way. I've had the upper respiratory junk twice since surgery and its lasted almost 2weeks both times. I haven't been doing the exercise part like I should. Until now, I also haven't been tracking my calorie intake like I should. I plan to change all of that and be more structured. Hopefully I'll start losing better now especially since I feel so much better. And yes I agree, it's confusing and frustrating at times. Good luck!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
