Are you tracking your food/calories everyday? I use to dread doing it but I do it and it helps. I am only 2 months post op and I am getting in about 500 to 700 net calories a day, that is total calories after taking into account how much exercise I do for that day.

I eat lots of Protein, mainly in the form of seafood. My favorite thing to eat right now is snow crab legs and shrimp. I eat salmon, tilapia and sometimes clams and mussels.

Sample meal plan (today)

Breakfast: Yopa yogurt

Lunch: snow crab legs

Snack: P3 portable snack pack

Dinner: Tilapia w/ broccoli

Sometimes if you are doing the same thing over and over again (be it food and/or exercise), it might be that your body needs a jump start. Just like if you start to get bored of the same things over and over again you start slacking, but if someone throws you for a loop, it keeps you on your feet. Your body works the same way. Change things up a bit and see if that helps.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
