I was banded 3/20, I track all my food on myfitnesspal.com, and get between 750 and 900 cal a day. That is because I am working so hard to get my Protein.< /p>

I am down about 35 since my preop but 45 since the first of the year. I weigh on Tuesdays (why Tuesdays? I have NO idea!) I have alot ot lose so, it goes pretty quick. I have noticed it slowed alot since I started mushies amd soft food. Before that my average calories were about 650 - 750 a day.

I am only asking because I am staying the same since my week 2. I weighed 211 and this morning I weighed 208.8.. I exercise every day and give it my all. So its gonna come off. Wish I wasn't so addicted to my scale

I am down 24 lbs since being banded. I was also banded on the 19th. I try to get between 1000-1200. If I do too many days below that I stop losing. The other big thing for me is Water. I have to drink at least 72 oz a day or I don't lose. It seems like I am on the high side of the calories. I don't know how others are getting by on so few.

Fozzy, are you a large man or a petite woman? Caloric intake won't be the same for all of us. And exercise is a factor too.

I am so addicted to the scale I get on everyday when I wake up. I think I am going to try skipping a week because I went 10 days without losing anything and I was really getting frustrated so maybe not such a good idea to get on everyday. I am going on 6wks post op this tues. And I am down 30lbs=).

Jepegurl- I am a woman. I am 5'8 and started this at 350lbs. I burn on average about 3200 calories a day. I wear a link armband, so I am confident in my calorie burn. I work out 4-5 times a week and have been tracking my food and Water religiously since January. I also weigh daily.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
