Everyones menus looks great but I'm still in the large portion frame of mind.

Of course I'm still a newbie but it looks like a lot of menus are very low calorie. Apparently it's been working for you though?

I was told to have between 1000-1200 calories because any lower I would have a hard time losing weight.

Again, everyone here seems to be doing well by your stats.

Any comments appreciated.

thats my experience. i didn't lose much in the beginning, and that was having my calories around 800-900. my daily avg is around 1100.

I LOVE the recipes/snack ideas over at http://www.hungry-girl.com -- plus they keep track of all the cool new stuff that comes out to help those who are trying to lose weight, not be hungry AND -- get this -- be balanced! (I love the idea of Fiber One Toaster Pastries -- and getting enough fiber in my diet has definitely been a challenge! I had to get a prescription for Miralax a/k/a polyethylene glycol to get things moving again) -- has anyone else discovered that website, too? :w00t: :lol:

32 pounds down, 45 more to go to goal!

My doc wants me around 900-1000 calories and i think that's crap lol. i told him straight out that i don't count..and when i start slowing down on my weight loss i'll start. SO i just make sure i eat good portions and make decent choices.

well i've had a bad experience yesterday and today. i think i'm too full..not so much so that anything comes up, but if i sip Water or try to eat i get this extreme burning in my chest and throat. at one point i just starting crying. i didn't end up eating anything i posted yesterday...just two bites of a corn cake...and nothing yet today. SO i called my doc last night and he was nice enough to come in to the office today (they are closed) and i think he had surgery today as well--earlier. i'm going to get this week's fill--unfilled and boy am i happy i have a doc that cares enough to come in so i don't have to suffer until monday.

i'll be happy to post-hopefully-soup later. wish me luck!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
