Just about everyone says you need to eat more to stay out of the starvation mode, to lose weight.

How many calories are you eating on a average to to this?

I am still strugling with stalls. I am eating about 700 cals a day and 6 weeks out . Most days I excerise and burn around 200 cals.

I'm 3 weeks out and I'm getting 300 calories a day if I'm lucky. I'm losing about a pound a day.

everyone's bodies are different. i say track your calories and see what works best for you for a while. that is what i had to do.

i do best around 1000-1200 on the days i exercise for an hour. on the days i don't i go between 700-900. that is when i get the best loss. it is getting harder and harder to lose tho the smaller i get. i have not lost anything for 2 weeks now!! :angry: and it is sure not for lack of trying! SIGH!

I stay between 600-800 a day. When I exercise the interval between losses is shorter but it comes off anyway in the end. I track Protein, carbs, calories, and Water.< /p>

I am terribly confused and frustrated with the whole calorie thing. I bounce between 1500-1000(1500 on exercise days)calories a day on maintenance . I got myself one of those body buggs like Biggest Loser. It measures how many steps and how many calories I burn a day and it factors in age height and weight. According to it after wearing it a week I burn on the average 2300 calories a day! I know that if I were to eat 2300 a day I'd gain! The numbers don't make sense. Oddly enough last year before my sleeve exercising just a bit less then I am now it calculated my daily expenditure was 2400.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
