I drink a Protein Shake daily 60gms and I eat some cheese and eggs at least every other day

Are you getting your 800 calories that Dr. Aceves recommended? It sounds like you're not eating enough.

Try stopping the watermelon. It has a very high glycemic index, lots of sugar, and it's easy to eat a lot of it because it's mostly "water (sweet water) and goes right through you.

I'm 2 weeks out--Here's my diet--way less than 30 grams of carbs/day

60 grams of protein/day

64 oz liquid

Very little fat

500-600 calories

If you can't lose weight on this diet, call your doctor.

I am 3 weeks out from the sleeve. I have lost a total of 6 pounds. I am so disappointed!. I am eating 6-700 calories. Getting 65 of Protein and carbs around 50. I wonder if I even had the procedure the way the weight is not coming off. Please help me.

I was pretty darn lucky my first 5 months, the weight flew off, but now I'm at a major stand still for the last 2 months. . . I've been told the body hits a stage that it is comfortable with and no matter what you stay at that weight. . I gain 2 lbs, drop 2 pounds, gain 2 pounds drop 2 pounds for the past 2 months. . . but i'm happy at my weight now and feel really comfortable. . .hubbie now stays i could afford to lose another 30 lbs or so, but hey i've done excellent this past 7 months . . . i love the fact that i eat during the day what i ate in one sitting before! i have whatever i want foodwise, however meat and salad still don't agree with me, and am truly enjoying my life. . . i wouldn't stress over your weight loss at this time, i know that its new and you want it all gone right now, but hey you didn't gain all the weight in one day and you won't loose it in one day either. . . be patient, enjoy your new found luxury, focus on something else other then the weight, it's going to come off eventually. . . everyone does this at a different pace. . . good luck!

Just make sure you are following your surgeon's diet to the letter and don't worry about it. It will come off.
