I was told not to eat any solids or soft solids until the recommended dates due to the healing process. Your weight loss will pick up again but it's best you stick with the plan that was given. This happened to me to I just went back to what I was told to do, and I was fine. How's your Water intake? And exercise routine? I didn't begin adding my own person touch too the diet until month four. I'm seven months out and I'm at goal. Well below goal. Goodluck. You can do it. Follow the docs orders I know you get tired but it is for your protection for now.

Should I start from week 1 again or just stay at week 4 which is where I'm at now, still soft foods?

I would just stick to the stage you are on now.. Soft foods should be fine .. That's and the 64 ounces of Water and exercise for a hour a day or more depending on you.

before After picture taken New Year's Day. I was 161 today I'm 147.6 @ 7 months out

So are you going to break things off? Have you thought it all through?

I would see a NUTRITIONIST ... I'm allowed to have 80-100g Protein, now I am able to do 700-900cal (although I only make it to 400-600 on most days) 60g carbs and 20g sugar I'm 7months out my diet plan has starch (potatoes,toast, etc no Pasta rice) veggies and fruit. Every doc is different .. And they might say it because you might not have room for anything else..

@@dashofsunshine Did you have to have plastic surgery at some point for access skin?

I did not. I've been very, very lucky, and I exercise quite a lot. Lifting weights has helped me immensely, as well as "good genes" I suppose.

That's great too hear @@Wonderkind I'm so sorry for you lost. Losing someone is never easy. I love older model homes they have so much more depth and craftsmanship!! That's great your much more closer to the hospital though. Right now I'm doing great. I believe in in maintenance but I might have to be a year out so in a few months I will be do sure. I kinda like the weight I'm at now which is a wonderful feeling!!! How close are you to your surgery date? What are you stats? Goal weight etc?

Loving it! The house we are renting is HUGE. An old house with lots of built ins. We lost both my Mom and one of our twin sons two years ago and so to be in a new place is an amazing change. It's brought on some unexpected grief too (I didn't expect to feel like I was leaving my Mom behind and I guess that triggered a rogue grief wave for Simon too). We were 7 hours from the hospital I was to have the surgery at (abbott Northwestern in MInneapolis) now I'm only an hour and a half away! How are you doing? You are at maintenance?

I love older model homes they have so much more craftsmanship.. I'm sorry to hear about your lost. Lost is never an easy thing to cope with. But I'm also glad you are closer to the hospital!! Right now I'm not sure I believe I'm in maintenance, I'm currently 149.5 I would like to stop losing not sure how though.. Never thought I would have that problem. It's a welcomed problem I might add!!! How close are you to surgery? What's your stats? Or did you have it?

Sorry, we moved to a new city so I got behind on a lot of social stuff. My ins. Got all messed up in January so after a lot of changes I have to see a new nut at least once but the surgeon was all for me being scheduled! He told me I was his dream patient of the day. We''ve been through some crazy stuff the past few years but God is always showing me how faithful He is. "Oh, how I love Jesus"[emoji444]

Congrats!! How are you liking the new city? Amen to that.. God has impeccable timing.

@@Alex Brecher

Thank you very much! You are absolutely correct their support meant a lot to me. I couldn't sit back a dwell on those that didn't support me, I had to Celebrate and appreciate those who did. I enjoy life so much more now. And will always cherish this tool. Btw thanks for the wonderful site. It has been a vital part of my recovery. [emoji18][emoji18][emoji178][emoji178][emoji178]

My directions were similar to Bufflehead's. At two years and two months, I can eat a cup of something dense (like chili with beans) or two cups of a green salad because it's mostly Water.

My activity level is low because of orthopedic issues, and 1,000 calories is maintenance for me.

I too am unable to be as active because of my children and some health issues but I do walk a lot . Thank you

When I was at your stage, my limits were:

--no more than 1000 calories per day

--no more than 60 grams of carbs per day

--no liquid calories or Snacks other than Protein Shakes

--no grains, no starchy veggies, no sweets

Good luck to you!

Thank you that helped a lot.

I had the sleeve. My program Nut says 1st year 700-900 calories and 12-36 mths 1000-1400. 1/2-1 cup per meal. I haven't gotten an actual carb count limit yet. But she stresses that we really need to eat carbs.

Thank you. It's confusing some say no carbs or no more then 20g then they say 200g. I just want a sure answer up until now I pretty much stayed away but I feel I should have a certain amount just don't know how much is enough.

I am 7 months out I had the gastric sleeve. I haven't been worried about calories, but I still want to know because I am unsure of how many calories and carbs I am supposed to be consuming. Can some one please let me know? I was told not to worry about calories but I want to keep everything going as good as it's going. Also Is one cup of food to much? So far I've lost 95 pounds. I know that the "honeymoon" period will be coming to a end soon.
