Ok here is the deal I got sleeved Sept 17, and the first week went great. I went into the 2nd week and had lost a total of 15lbs. The end of the 2nd week stopped losing and have never started back since. My appetite has become bigger, I can take down about 700 to 800 cal a day. I eat Soups and crackers and snack size chips go down well. I know I shouldnt be eating these crackers and chips. One day I actually gained 2lbs, how is that happening if I only ate 800 cal in a day. I got them to come off by eating only 350 calories the next 2 days but no other weight loss. I would just like some input on what to eat at the beginning of week 4. Any input from others that went through this .......please.

Question: Now that we have a smaller stomach how many calories must we be limited to, so that we lose weight??

I know before if I ate anywhere near 800 to 1000 calories i would lose like crazy. So now that we have smaller stomach does it take a lot less calories to lose weight??

This has been great advice. I know the crackers and chips are horrible, they just go down so easy (convienence needs to get out life) lol. I'am in the mushy stage still and I think I'm gonna go today and get me some soups and greek yogurt and eat more scrambled eggs. What greek yogurt has the most Protein?? Everyones input has helped so much, thank you!

Most greek yogurts have fairly equal protein levels. I eat a 2% fat one, you can also get 0% and you can get higher. The key is to stay away from the flavored ones. Typically, they are sweetened with sugar and higher in calories and carbs. I buy plain and sweeten it myself with sugar free syrups (torani, davinci) and a little liquid stevia.

You are early out, take this time to learn new ways of eating. I am a firm believer that if you do not change anything, you will not be successful in the long term. However, you have to make changes you can live with for a lifetime. Good Luck!

I Agee. Weighing yourself is not healthy.

Thank you for the advice. Keep posting this is preparing me.

I totally understand! I was sleeved 9/10 went from 263 to 242ish (depending on the day... I really need to quit weighing myself everyday) and I'm in the stalling stage. My nutritionist said that it's normal around this time to stall. I too have slipped in chips and crackers.. and those are my weakness foods and I just need to get rid of them for good.. But tomorrow I start the soft foods and I feel like I'll have more healthy options to start on and get my weight loss back up. and I ordered and elliptical that should be coming next week sometime. And I'm still struggling to get in my daily protein and dealing with hunger. But it is not too bad. I hope all goes well and don't give up! Hang in there! ( and now I need to protein shake to try and stop some hairloss UGH!)

I haven't had very many meetings, this is all new to me but when I do get sleeved, I am following my Doctors orders religiously. All will work out when you go with the program and not against it. This is a lifestyle change, there is no turning back and falling back into bad eating habits. Do yourself a favor and don't be so hard on yourself, your not a failure, your just listening to old habits. Turn your back on the inner voice that is telling you to eat. Use the force, lol! Good luck and thanks for sharing your story.

Get rid of crackers and chip and don't weigh yourself. You'll drive yourself crazy. I only weighed myself at dr appts. I also was sleeved on the 17th and I'm still on purée. Ask your nutritionist what foods would help you along. But seriously don't stress. You'll do great! Good luck

THANK GOD for each and every one all yall and the advice everyone gave! I woke up today and THE STALL IS OVER!!! i LOST 2lbs! I can't explain how happy I am to be losing again :-)
