Do you count your carb intake as well? I am so afraid to eat things with carbs in them. I do not eat Rice, Pasta or bread. But for instance my sugar free pudding has 15 carbs in it....is that ok???

I don't count my carbs, but I don't eat a lot of carbs. I focus on Protein first, then veggies and every once in a while I'll have carbs with my meal. I only eat 1 cup food per meal. My Snacks are high Protein (greek yogurt, cheese, peanuts).

Hope that helps.

I've currently been carb cycling to break a plateau' date=' but when I'm not or on a high carb day, I don't count carbs at all.

I love bread, Pasta, potatoes, rice, etc and I refuse to deprive myself and live without them.[/quote']

In my losing stage I ate 1000 calories each day after clearing it with the dr. I have 11 more lbs to take off my I am doin g it in the maintainience stage so i eat about 1500 calories now... But I have trouble eating all that. I expect when I get those 11 lbs off I may need a slight unfill... Not sure how that works.

Do you guys snack or just focus on your 3 meals a day? I find myself always wanting to snack...Mis73 you are down about 168 right? How did you lose it so quickly in 10 months? Do you exercise as well?

I eat about 800 - 1000 cal per day, and "try" to get to 65 - 70g of Protein a day. I'm getting better at it. I also try to eat 3 -5 times a day, and track my food on MFP. Great tool!

Why should you not snack? I've been wondering this. My doc says just 3 meals, that's it.

I don't know what this is. I will have to look into it.

      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... :(
