When I first met with my surgeon (April 19), he put me on a high Protein. low carb diet. I basically eat 3oz of meat and a serving of green vegetables for lunch and dinner and a Protein Shake for Breakfast. I have lost 21 pounds so far. I hope this helps.

I'm on a low carb, low fat diet. I drink Water and sugar free drinks. For exercise I walk. I do not eat meals after 6pm, only Snacks such as yogurt or Jello.< /p>

Thanks, I will try incorporating more protein in my diet. It's definitely worth a try.

Sign up for myfitnesspal.com and try to get in 80 grams of Protein - stay around 800 calories, and about 45 grams of carbs. Please remember 64 ounces of Water a day.

I lost 70 in 7 months during the pre-approval phase.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
