So I had my sleeve done Dec 27, 2010. Since then I have lost 116 lbs. I had been stuck at 194- 198 lbs for 3 months no matter what I did until this past 2 weeks when I decided to eat what ever I wanted over the Christmas holiday. I get on the scale and have lost 8 lbs. So my question is what do I do now? Go back to my high protein (70-90 grams a day ) low Carb or eat a more " normal American" diet.

Hi,

I can only tell you what has worked for me. That is low carb and keeping the Protein at 70 grams of protein a day. You might benefit from writing down everything you are putting in your body. I always tried to keep my calories about about 800 per day. Are you doing any kind of exercise? All these things are worth trying. Carbs are my killer and once I start them, I don't want to stop them. Keep me posted at how you are doing.

Hugs,

Suzanne

May have been more active over holidays. Just go back to normal diet to stablize.

I low-carbed all the way to goal and beyond. I also tracked all my food intake. However, if you have been doing this and are losing better eating differently, I'd say continue what you are doing but track your intake. Maybe you are eating fewer calories than you think--

I agree with Suzannesh - keep the carbs low (I try to stay below 60) and the protein high (60 - 80 grams per day). Exercise as much as you can fit in.

That is my plan to get off the last 10 pounds between me and my goal.

Susannesh~ I thought eventually sleevers could eat up to 1600 calories a day to maintain the weight loss. So 800 is the maximum to aim for on your diet? Is this by choice or did a nutritionist recommend it?
