10 Months Into My Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[MissShonnie 0]

Hello everyone, i'm new to this forum and so excited to chat with outhers whom had the same surgery. My surgery went very well and I am very please with the results. i'm coming up on a year and getting a little worried, because i find myself eating a little more than ususal. I workout at least 3 times a week, but i hat the fact that I still have a serious craving for sweet. I am for sure a snaker. Please help and give me a little advice. I'm trying and loving my results and dont want to gain a pound back!!!

I had to cut back on my carbs to keep losing. I was averaging about 90 carbs a day but I was gaining and losing the same three pounds. When I cut them back to under 30, I began to lose again. I can eat a lot more than I could early on as well. I started eating a few chips here and there and drank a lot of milk. I also ate Peanut Butter and nilla wafers everyday too. Waaaay to many carbs for the losing phase. I will be able to eat more carbs once I am in maintenance but not now. Thats my advice. HTH.

I don't count carbs, calories, fats or sugars. I just exercise at least 5 days per week for at least 60 minutes. I also lift wts three days per week. I find that if I don't workout consistantly I won't lose wt and If I want to gain I just lighten up on working out and stop eating when full. I know that I should know my optimum levels for wt. loss but just adjusting my exercise level and time works for me..

I have barely started losing and both of the above people have terrific advice. You either have to eat less or move more or best a combo of both. You are doing so good.

For me it's still mostly about the food, although I do hike and work out to some extent. Going over 50 grams of carbs a day causes me to stall (on a 750 calories a day). If I gnaw on Protein and some veggies all day I will lose fast.
