I'm 1 year out and eat between 1000-1200 cals and weight loss has slowed down. I just joined a gym to kickstart me again! I started at 412 and now weigh 247' so I've lost 165 lbs so far, but would like to get down to at least 200.

I was a total foodie and like to cook before surgery- now am even more so! The difference is now I try to cook healthy things and focus on new healthy recipes and use a ton of spices for flavor.

No doubt! Can you please post the recipe? Thanks!

Good to hear, congrats!!!

I'm 7 months out and eat around 900-1000 calories a day. My diet is varied and revolves around: eggs, dannon or yo plait Greek yogurt with Special K Protein Cereal added to it, Lots of salad with grilled chicken or ham, edamame, veggies (brussel sprouts, fresh green Beans, asparagus, cauliflower, red pepper,) a little fruit here or there, fish, steak, hummus with carrots, Quest bars, quesadillas with lo carb tortilla, crackers, whipped pb, 100 cal bags of kettlecorn. I really don't eat rice, Pasta,potatoes except to have a bite here or there- it fills me up too much as does bread. I will eat an occasional piece of light bread toasted or a half of bagel thin but that's about all I can manage. I'm down 125 lbs and still have 100 to go.

here is a Protein powder muffin recipe that I tweaked from another recipe I found on here. 1 scoop vanilla Protein Powder (100 cal / 15 G protein) 1 egg, beaten 2 teaspoons cocoa powder 2 teaspoons truvia 1 Tblspoon sugar free liquid French vanilla coffee creamer 1.5 teaspoons almond extract Spray muffin tin with Pam and spoon into 2 muffin cups Bake on 375 for 12 min. These have a good taste, not too sweet, but a little dense since there isn't any flour of baking soda in it. recipe yields 2 muffins, each muffin is around 100 cal and 11g protein.

Thank you! I stalled a little bit about a month out (your body is adjusting) and again around month 6 for maybe a week. I honestly didn't do much to get it moving again because I knew to expect it and that the scale would start moving again. I know there is going to come a point where I will need to up the activity to get past a future stall, but I'm prepared! Good luck and be patient

I just looked at my before pic for the first time since I was sleeved and finally realized the difference!

Thanks everyone!

It's been 7 months since I had my Vsg. Love I my sleeve!

And yes, no problem losing weight. Down 75lbs since I was sleeved on 10/23!

It's been 3.5 months since I've been sleeved.. Still eating the way I'm supposed to, getting all my protein in. I used to enjoy food so much and now I'm no longer obsessed with it. It's actually a good thing. I used to be a major carb addict. Now I barely eat bread or carbs!

Ever since having surgery, it seems as though I have lost interest in food! Very rarely do I crave anything. I eat good food, but about 3/4 of the way through eating I just flat out lose interest! Also, I find that some foods taste different to me than before surgery. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks everyone!!

I started out at 412 on my surgery date and have lost 40lbs in 5 weeks!

Hi all! I'm 5 weeks out and seem to not know when to stop eating so I'm not uncomfortable. What works for you?

Do you have the nutrition info for this by chance? Thanks!

Was sleeved 10/23 and lost 29 lbs during the first 2 weeks. Started pureed right after my 2 week mark. I Weighed myself this morning and was only down 2 lbs this week. What the heck? Has to be some sort of stall because I weigh 379 and would think I would lose more than that!

I was just sleeved 2 weeks ago and noticed I'm always freezing!!!!

Lol sounds like a good problem to have! I kinda hope it goes that way for me when I try something like that ????

Surgery date: 10/23/13 Highest weight: 418 Surgery weight: 412 Current weight: 384

I was sleeved on oct 23rd and while I'm not depressed, I feel Hungry!!! I'm on full liquids until weds, then to puréed. I feel very empty and a little grumpy- I need to sink my teeth into something!!! Lol.

I do the Pure Protein shakes by worldwide sports. They taste great, 35 grams protein, 1-3 grams of carbs. Cheapest I found them was online www.Vitacost.com they have vanilla cream, strawberry cream, banana cream, cookies and cream, chocolate, chocolate mint. Free shipping over $25 and no tax!

Congrats! Was it painful?
