SIDE NOTE: I was allowed to add carbs (whole wheat, sweet potato, brown rice) when I got close to my maintaining weight. This was to slow/stop weight loss. Again, all plans look different.

500-700 calories seems very low. I’m 5 1/2 months post sleeve and eating about 900 cals/day (ranges from 700-1100), at least 70 g of Protein. Still losing about 10-13 lbs/month.

I was just curious if anyone struggling after surgery added an OTC weight loss pill or even a prescribed pill and what were the results?

I was concerned at first about my loss. It felt slow and I asked about other options. I was assured that they have a variety of other options to supplement the surgery, including medication. I haven't needed it yet (and they told me I didn't qualify for additional measures at that time) but if loss stops and I'm not able to get to goal by following the plan, I will absolutely use any other options available to me.
