Just curious, how many calories is everyone up to at this point? I feel like I'm eating a ton approx 1100-1400 per day. I exercise everyday and I'm very hungry. I am at my goal weight.

As the weight has been coming off people have noticed and felt the need to comment. Now I appreciate the kind words; however the delivery has not been so graceful. I give you the following examples:

Wow what happened to you?!?!? Are you well? Is it serious?

Hey look at you! No more hips, huh?

I can't get over your Weightloss. Your big head is gone! Well, I mean you know you had a big head.

How much have you lost? 50/60 pounds? (Only lost 40 at the time)

You look great! Almost to a normal size.

Look how beautiful you are now!

Now I know these people had good intentions but there are a few here that I'm like, seriously? One should never guess the amount of weight someone has lost. That's just asking for trouble. Also, I love the one saying how beautiful I am now, implying I wasn't beautiful before. It hurts to think about how people viewed my appearance prior to the Weightloss.

What's even funnier is that I'm still 10 pounds heavier than I was before I started at my job and people used to call me fat then and now they say how skinny I am. So weird.

So my hair has been falling out like crazy and my Weightloss has slowed dramatically. Anyone else at this point as well? Had my VSG on oct 1, 2014.

Excellent job! Congrats on the progress!

Thanks for your replies. I am not sure if this sudden loss in focus is hormonal, emotional, physical etc. I was doing so well so I think I will keep a photo near by to remind me of why I got the surgery in the first place. I'm 5'3 and my goal is 145lbs so I'm only 20 away. I need to focus on the prize

I came out of a 10 day stall a couple weeks ago. I'm nervous I'm going to end up back in a stall because of my terrible eating habits. This week I have had tons of carbs and the guilt to accompany them. Yet it hasn't stopped me from eating Doritos today! Doritos?!?!? I haven't had them in months and I caved just because. I'm not sure what is up with me this week but I hope I get some will power back ASAP.

I'm 3 1/2 months post op down to 165 from 227. This week I have really gone back to bad habits. I've been snacking on carbs at night and not exercising. I need to get back on track and just need some encouragement. Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Since my post the Weightloss resumed and I'm down 4.5 lbs in a week. I think I just don't drink enough Water. I started drinking more and bam the weight starting coming off. I still don't restrict my carbs as much as others because I do have lots of dairy (yogurt, cheese, etc) and I've been eating more veggies. I can't lie though, I do indulge in crackers from time to time. Habits are hard to break! But still absolutely no bread, Pasta, or rice. I feel good and my numbers are down so I must be doing something right ????

Hi all! I was sleeves Oct 1st and I'm down 53lbs. Now that I'm 3 months out my Weightloss has slowed and I'm concerned I'm eating too many carbs. What's everyone doing for carbs?

You have done awesome. Was all fifty lost after surgery? How many calories ate you having each day?

45 pounds were from the surgery

Sorry I was responding to a previous question that someone asked me.

45lbs from surgery

Hi all! I'm an October sleever. Had my surgery Oct. 1st and I'm down 50.2 lbs. Started at 227 and as of yesterday i'm 176.8! I have pretty much figured out what I can tolerate and what I can't. I still don't get all my Water in no matter how hard I try. I am also experiencing serious food boredom. I have to force myself to eat because I'm just not interested in anything.

Physically no problem, but the calories are high. I have had pizza maybe three times in 6+ months since surgery and each time it wasn't very satisfying. You can have 600-900 calories in pizza and it is just a tease. #Not worth it.

Hate to say it, but if you have to go to a pizza place, get a salad.

I am extremely good about my caloric intake, fat, and carbs. I'm well aware of the high calories involved with pizza. I just wanted some advice in a new situation. And at this place there were no healthy options available, that's why I was so nervous. All in all it worked out ok.

So it was a successful outing! I dabbed all the oil off and tried a little at first to see how well my stomach would take it. Surprisingly I thought the pizza was pretty tasteless so I wasn't eager to eat it. I had about 1/2 a small slice and that was that. My stomach seems ok and I just told my friends I really wanted to stick to my diet. No problem! All that anxiety for nothing

Ok I need some advice. I'm supposed to go out for a birthday lunch at a pizza place today. No one knows I had surgery and I'm not quite 3 months out. How do I go about eating today? Do I have a 1/2 slice or toppings or what? HELP

I know people stall at different points. I would talk to your NUT to see if you are eating within a good calorie range and drinking Water helps. I was in a five day stall, drank a lot more water, and the weight started dropping again. I hope that helps. I am totally with you about the freaking out over food though

Thanks! I'm not a huge dessert person so it's not a worry for me. But I'm more worried about the fear I'm experiencing. I'm afraid if I make one wrong move I'll gain everything back

Has anyone become afraid to eat after surgery. I'm 6 weeks out and I actually get anxiety over food. I have been eating between 500-600 calories/day and I'm on vacation. I'm trying to adhere to eating properly and last night we ate out. I ordered well but then we brought a dessert home. I ate 1/4 of it and was freaking out because my total caloric intake for the day was around 850 with the dessert. I exercised yesterday but still I'm afraid of gaining weight. My husband was telling me to give myself a break. Has anyone felt this way?

I had a brief stall that early too but it passed. My BMI was 39 before surgery. I've since gotten through two stalls about 3-4 days long. I'm 5 weeks out today.

Oh thank goodness! I was getting so frustrated and discouraged! Thanks for your replies

Hi I am only 3 weeks out and getting concerned. The scale dropped like lightening the first 8 days. Since then it's barely moved and in the last 3 days I've gained. Is that normal? I am following everything to the letter so I'm not sure where and if I'm actually falling short. Please help

I have tons of hair ... everywhere! So a little off the top won't be so bad I hope. I have noticed my re growth is already slowing down and I'm only 10 days out. So I'll take that as a plus

Yeah it seems everytime I take the Calcium I get sick.

I'm 9 days post-op gastric sleeve and I felt nauseous all night. I got up this morning and took my meds and vomited bright yellow bile. I still feel nauseous. Has this happened to anyone else?
