Had my surgery 98 days ago,i don't have a nutritionist and my surgeon is in another country. He gave me guidelines for a few weeks but nothing about my calories.

How many calories am i supposed to eat? I have around 900 but have been in a stall for 2 weeks now.

I walk everyday 3-4kms but I'm frustrated as hell,i don't know hiw to proceed with my calories.

I'm about the same. 3 months out and i haven't lost anything for 3 weeks.

I still log everything. About 900 to 1000 calories. About 60 gm Protein. I got my blood drawn yesterday for my follow up next week. I hope the numbers are good.

I'm not sweating the stall too much because I'm doing everything right.

I hope you can just appreciate that someone else is exactly where you are and going through the same thing.

We have a group on Facebook who all had surgery the end of May. Almost all of us stalled 2-3 weeks just after the 3 month mark. Normal.

It's just that i started having more carbs and It's scary to think these small portions of carbs are screwing my progress!

I have never restricted carbs. I didn't do this to restrict carbs - I did that with Atkins. I did this to restrict portions. Sure, if I want to lose glycogen stores and "look" thinner for a special event I'll go low carb for a few weeks - which I might do in october actually. I'll lose some weight from the glycogen stores while I am low carb, but I'm currently still losing 2-4lbs a week on average and I dont think going low carb will really change that. I'm doing as good as everyone else I am in a group with that was sleeved when I was. So you may temporarily gain from the glycogen store but you shoud still lose at the same rate if your calories are low enough.

I asked my surgeon how many calories I should be having and he said 800-1200 after I can eat normally.

Thank you all for your help,i had my surgery outside Canada and i saw my surgeon twice postop so things were tough to learn.

The people at my support group have said they have noticed while they have not lost weight their clothing sizes have gone down. They've also said tracking every bite and sip of liquid that goes into their mouth and changing up their exercise routine helps.

Also, find a support group in your area.
