Wish I was losing faster

[jgeldmacher 42]

I can't even eat 5 wings. I had 4 and was full. Crazy. With as little as I eat, I thought I'd lose weight faster.

My doctor says I'm losing at a good pace, so I'm going to trust him. I just wish it was faster.

In my opinion you are losing fine. About 10 pounds a month. Just be sure you are working to get your Protein and Water in daily.

What is your average Protein and calories per day?

[jgeldmacher 42]

I get anywhere from 60-100g per day. Most days are at 100g.

I agree you're loosing at a great rate. Don't want to loose to fast, give your body adequate time to catch up. Plus I noticed throughout my journey it's not so much of how much you consume it's what you consume. Great work!

What are your calories at? A tall guy like you should have enough muscle that 100 grams of Protein a day is your bare minimum per day. Your target should probably be 120-130.

how is eating a couple of wings post op crazy? The whole reason to get the sleeve is to have restriction and not to be able to eat a lot. You are doing fine. Any loss is good.

I eat about 900 calories a day.

Why such a difference? What is your Protein target. Mine is 100 grams a day. That means at least 100 grams a day. 60 is very low, especially for a guy.

It depends if I have a shake or try to do all solids.

My surgeon just brought up the DS for me since I'm not losing. How do you like yours?

It is very low. I just can't get enough in during the day.

For a man your size you should increase the calories to 1,200 - 1,300 if you're working out at least 3x per week and you're guaranteed to see the scale move.
