Havent lost in a few weeks



Recommended Posts

I really would love some advice from you guys!

I had my sleeve done May 29th, 2014

Starting weight: 365

Current weight: 273

Needless to say I feel great! I have never lost this much weight in my life and wow did it come off fast.

I am so very happy with my decision to get this life changing surgery done.

BUT, right now I am frustrated. I feel as though I am not eating the "right" foods, and I have not lost any more weight. =(

Maybe this is just what they call a "stall" but I don't like it!! lol

What do you guys eat on a daily basis?

How many calories?

How many carbs? sugar? Protein?

Thank you!

When I was 5-6 months out, my plan called for:

3 meals per day of no more than 3 ounces each, no Snacks other than Protein Shakes

None of the following: grains, starchy veg (potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, corn), refined sugar/sweets, alcohol

No more than 850 calories per day, no more than 60 grams of carbs per day

minimum 64 oz of fluids per day

minimum 75 grams of Protein per day

Track all meals, snacks, Vitamins & supplements on a logging program or app (I used myfitnesspal and still use it).

You and I had surgery the same day. :) From what others have said month 5 and 6 are kind of slow for weight loss. I think our bodies need time to catch up. You have had amazing results so far! Congrats!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
