Does Anyone Else Eat As Much As Me?

[ForMyfamily 84]

I was thinking the same exact thing. Trying to get in 20 grams of Protein 3 times a day. How can you do that and stay under 400 calories. You cant!!

I am keeping it very strict with turkey and cheese options but always seem to hit around 1000-1100 cals a day. I see quite a few around 600-800 a day. My one treat daily and many cals is a snack of almond or nuts. But I am still averaging about a pound a day loss with that. Of course my BMR is now 3800 so I will keep losing even at these levels until they sort of match then the loss will slow.

Did you make your goal weight

Hiya rybecca,

no! I haven't reached my surgeon's goal or my personal weight goal... but I have reached my size goal! Strange eh?

I have lost a pound in the last year... yep! 1 lb in 52 weeks... regardless of what I do, I cannot get that pesky scale to move. There are, I believe, 'other factors' around this as I am compliant, even now, to my surgeon's rules and stick to them 90-95% of the time - the other time I am being human and enjoying my new life.

With that said, I refuse to give up! I will reach my surgeon's goal (perhaps not mine) one day. There is no expiry date on the sleeve and my restriction is still good, even though I do get hungry sometimes. For me this is now my way of eating... and I am more than happy with the quantity and quality of food that I chose to eat, even the odd treat!

Have you been sleeved? How are you doing? Please feel free to ask any questions, if you have any, ...lol!

I've always eaten a lot compared to many fellow sleevers -- but I've still lost just fine and am now keeping it off fairly easily as well. That said, I try to keep carbs to a minimum, and that helps. But yeah, I was at 1000 cals per day already at 6 weeks post-op, and am now often around 2000.
