When and why do most people have trouble maintaining goal weight after gastric sleeve success?

I have no idea what my calorie intake is but it probably isnt enough. Im going to really start journaling next week. Its just so hard while I am at work

I use my fitness pal https://www.myfitnesspal.com/

I am having similar issues... how many calories are you consuming? I am 600-800 ... a dietitian told me that's not enough and my body is probably hanging onto fat because it's in starvation mode. I am getting so confused and discouraged

I'm scared bc I'm in the full liquid phase and not sure If I'm eating too much. I generally have my Protein drink in the AM and then creamy Soups. pudding and Jello as needed. What if I'm consuming too much??? Should I focus on the liquids before Protein? What if I did all of this and I stay the same:(

I don't see how I'm not loosing, I'm 2 wks out and prior to surgery ate like It was my job!!!

Am I being too impatient? Be honest......

If it's any consolation I feel the exact same way as you do. I am 13 days out... feeling great physically, doing the work, but I have lost nothing since I got home from the hospital... not what I was expecting, I am disappointing and worried this was all for not. They (everyone) keeps telling me it's because I had a low BMI. But I went through this/self paid, and truly expected some more substantial results.

Sleeved 12/28 - BMI 30 .... I am doing everything as instructed. I feel great, nothing makes me queasy ... But my weight has basically stayed the same since I got home a week+ ago. I am ingesting 60 grams of protein/ 650-700 calories / walked 3 miles yesterday. But no change on scale.

I am starting to panic that this is not going to work for me for. It has to work.... right?

ugh

I'm in the hospital for dehydration and blood clots. Please pray for me.

I will pray for you .... You are in good hands now.

sleeved 12/28/12 Phase 1- CLEAR LIQUIDS: ugh! I'm concerned that I've been drinking my drinks (for the past 2 days) 'not see thru enough' and possibly have stretched my sleeve already lol .. no seriously, Im worried, I have been mixing powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury choc Protein powder and Water with a scoop of GNC Vitamin powder and Water in a shaker- in between broths. I can't handle the strong flavors of Isopure clears (I liked them b4 surgery) I actually feel good...great... no naseau, no problems. But are things going in and down too easy

I am also having a lot of mental feelings of wanting food tho Im not hungry..especially at night. I will say this, I found a book called "Shrink Yourself" that really addresses food addiction - but it's not the kind of thing you speed read thru.
