Wow 48 lbs. That is great. I was sleeved may 6 im getting in about 550 calories but that includes my 2 Protein Shakes a day. My coworkers who have had it done say im not eating enough but I don't feel like I can do more at this time. Im getting really discouraged I am only down 19 lbs since surgery I don't see how I can eat that little and not lose.My nutritionist is on vacation so not sure how much I should be eating at this point.

Sleeved 5/21. Eat about 700 calories and a minimum of 55 or 60 g Protein. Trying to get all my protein from food because the Protein Drinks go right through me and the diarrhea is awful. So I use Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese and Beans. There is a new protein vegetable steamer I plan to try today. I use Myfitnesspal to track. Down about 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I was sleeved on may 6th- down 32 lbs and many inches since surgery. I'm taking in around 800 calories daily . Been losing 4-4.5 lbs weekly consistently since surgery.

I've done some research and time and time again I've read and been told to increase my calories to at least 700. So, to those of you who have stalled this should be the key for your break through! Thanks for all the responses I appreciate each of you greatly :)

Please do your measurements ppl! The scale is not the only thing to pay attention to. You will be shocked and really be able to see your progress when you see how many inches you have lost!

I did start measuring myself about 3 weeks ago and have dropped 3 inches

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
