I’m in the same boat as you and I just figured out I needed to up my calorie intake too. Hope it works for you and me both ?

Yo be honest i had surgery in Mexico didn’t get many instructions. I’ve kinda just been learning on my own and using this site to gain some info. Highly considering a nutritionist now.

Thank you for the info. I just wanted to know if it was harmful to my pouch. ?

I do about 13k steps a day and stand 8-10 hours at work. Constantly moving. So I naturally thought eat less calories and burn more. I do about 13k steps a day and stand 8-10 hours at work. Constantly moving. So I naturally thought eat less calories and burn more. I was also under the impression that I wasn’t to go over 400 calories

Sounds like I need a nutritionist ? no one has told me any of this. I also want to do it safely yet quickly. I have found that I’m scared to eat calories but with this new information I need to rethink my eating.

I was a very avid soda drinker. And I have been craving it insanely. ? just a long shot but are there any alternative? Is flavored water ok? The carbonated kind ? Or is carbonation just out of the question ? Thank you in advance.

You’re right. I thought of that too I don’t have a nutritionist. But I will start using MyFitnessPal pal again to monitor because I think You’re right. I’m sure I’m no where near that.

Very very true ?

You’re so right I am having a bunch of non scale victories. I think measuring myself would help me feel those little victories even more. Thank you ?

You’re so right. I guess I need to just let go of my expectations of this miracle loss every week. Just hard because the first month was so amazing. Thank you so much ?

Hey everyone. I am 6 weeks post op. I did great the first month losing 28 pounds. But I am not losing any weight and I’m scared and frustrated. I’m at 32lbs and have not moved. I even think I gained 2 pounds. I have only been drinking protein shakes for the most part. Some times I eat eggs when I can stand it. But protein shakes seem to be the only thing I can handle. Especially since back at work. I haven’t gone to the gym yet but I’m on my feet at work for 10 or more hours and I walk on my 30 min lunch break and have been doing exercise videos a couple days. Do I need to exercise more ? What am I doing wrong. ?

Yes. You don’t realize it until you can’t chug. Ive been struggling with drinking. Getting my water in. Just because you have to do it so slowly. ? I feel your pain

I’m sorry I hope it gets better. What does your doctor say ?

Thank you I do too. It’s more painful going down not the actual tummy once it gets there I’m fine. Lol I actually think I’m just not chewing enough. ?
