Fruits
this is for everyone that has already been sleeved , we all are on some kind of carb restrictions but i was wondering how are you keeping carbs low if fruit has so many of them i see so many ppl say they only do about 20-80 carbs, a orange has 25 does this mean you dont eat fruit ?

Post Surgery Weight Loss Results
i think i would disagree . sorry. i started with a high bmi well still am but since surgery i have lost 30 pounds that was 3 months ago. So in my case no i am not loosing faster, And i have a freind who bmi was lower than mine alot and lost 50 the first 3 months. I think it just varies from person to person. only one fact is correct and thats it the weight will come off some faster than other.

Carbs And Fat
Well doc told me to get 120 in carbs and under 30 grams of fat and 1200 calories. The carbs and calories seem too high. On a good day I get about 800 to 900 calories. I use fitness pal I am always under goal except in protein. I exercise 4 to 5 x's a week burning 500 to 800 calories a session. Today makes 10 weeks and still have lost 3 weeks out of the 10.????

Still Waiting.....
I know some of you mitte have seen my previous post on forums just thought i would rant and rave a little. I am 6 weeks post op and am doing everything as instructed by my doctors. I lost 20lbs first 2 weeks of surgery the last 4 weeks i have been at a complete stall well not stall cause i have managed to gain 6 lbs back wth!!. I have heard about the dreaded 3 week stall but this has been going on for 4 weeks, i contacted the doctors office and they could not explain why i havent lost. i take to protein as i am suppose to , eat protein first keep in mind i am still only getting about 500 calories a day, I excerice daily .The doc said even a weeks worth of food doesnt add to a pound. I really was hoping to have lost 25-30 lbs by now amd i have a BMI of 54 so i have alot more to lose. i lost 73 lbs on my own pre surgery . Has anyone heard of this ? well i am hoping that next week gets better. I only weight weekly , fingers crossed i can get threw this. I am trying to up calories as instructed by doc to 800. I love hearing people success stories just it seems like i am waiting on my own.......
