Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I had sleeve surgery through bariatricpal on June 26th. Have not gotten to talk to a nutritionalist because the last one left. I am 2 months out. I am eating 900-1100 calories per day. Logged in 100% of everything on fitness pal app. I am walking a minimum of 10,000 steps per day by going to the gym and walking, elliptical and a little weights. At least an hour every day. Eating 80-100 grams of Protein. And I have only lost 30 pounds. Drinking lots of Water. Haven't had soda since before surgery. Started at 241. What am I doing wrong? I know my food intake is much much less than before I had surgery. The scale hasn't budged in 3 weeks. While I am happy for the 30 pounds lost, I still have a long way to go and if I doing something wrong I want to fix it!

Hi Amiweil,

You're not doing anything wrong that I can tell....and you're getting great results! You've lost 30 lbs in 10 weeks! That's 3 lbs per week. In the first year after the surgery, a GREAT amount of weight to lose is 80-90 lbs...or an average of 1.5 to 2 lbs per week. You're at 3 lbs per week!

I am sorry you're feeling frustrated, but you're doing so well!

We can get into details of what you're eating when we talk in your consult when you schedule it, and I'll send you some sample menus when you schedule it, too. But you are doing great!
