jgj 29 Posted August 12, 2014 Hi everyone, how many calories are you eating a day. I am six weeks out from VGS and was eating 500 to 600 a day. Then I re read my instructions and realized I wasn't drinking my Protein Drinks. Then I added them in and I am now eating 800 to a 1000. I am gaining weight [2 pounds] in the last three days. What should I do? Anyone had experience with this problem. Am I eating too much, I am on mushie foods. Scrambled egg, half a piece of toast, tuna and mayo with 4 soda crackers, and Chili with Beans for supper. Then two Protein drinks. I measure the tuna and It is 1/2 a cup and the chili is 1/2 cup too. I would appreciate anyone else who was sleeved on July 1st or there about helping me out with this problem. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SherB 220 Posted August 12, 2014 A pound or two up on any given day is not unusual. If you are not required to get 1000 of the Protein then only do one shake. You would have to eat 3600 extra calories to really gain one pound. It can be Water, that time of the month even a stall at this point. Sounds like you are doing good. No need to panic.
