Need Help From 200 Ish Start Weight, Experienced Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months postop as of last Friday. My starting weight was 196, currently at 160, that is total loss from before preop diet. I basically lost 15 pounds the first month, 10 the second and 5 the third. Is that normal?

Today on MFP I have had 611 calories, 57 carbs, 22 sugar and 59 Protein.

Is that about what I need to be getting daily? What changes should I be making? I do take my Vitamins and I have been trying to get my protein without shakes but today I did have one. Should I be trying to stop the shakes and bars?

I had surgery in MX and do not have a NUT. I am starting to lose my hair but not to bad yet. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm not a NUT, but looking at your numbers, my suggestion would be to lower your carb intake, and up your Protein by 30 grams or so. I get a monthly B12 shot and take Biotin, it seems to help with the Hair loss, and gives me energy. I wouldn't give up drinking the Protein Shakes, maybe, use them for between meals. The lower BMI'S seem to lose a slower. Your doing well!

Lower the carbs a little bit and up your Protein. Please remember the less you weight the less you will lose per month and you will need to definitely up whatever routine you are doing.

You are doing great though. Congrats!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
