Has your surgeon ever been overweight? Did you read the other posts. Most of them said to eat 1000 calories or more. Going down in calories will just put you in a worse starvation mode. Some people can lose a lot of weight on very low calories but the majority of people on just this thread have better success with eating more. At least more Protein and fat. Fat is important too, very important. Maybe you aren't eating enough fat! Just showing that I care!

Yep, same thing happens to me. I was eating about 800 calories/day for quite a while and lost very slowly but since i've been up to 1200/day I've lost about every day. I was totally surprised. I've been following the diet plan without the sleeve and it's working for me. I'm on here because my daughter had the sleeve in July and I got inspired to try the diet myself since I'm not heavy enough to have WLS. I've been struggling with weight practically all my life tho' and it's nice to find out I don't have to starve myself to lose. That's how I found out that I lose better when eating more as long as I eat protein first. I'm actually going to try to maintain now and am gradually upping my calories to find out at what point I will stop losing. I've been as high as 212 and now I'm 144. It feels great!
