How much weight have you lost thus far?

I have been on a three week stall as well, could the folks who are getting out of it post how many calories and protein they are getting a day? I just upped mine a bit , program has me on 300 cal. And 30 grams of protein on average. Walk everyday. Not supposed to have shakes or snacks with my 1/4 cup meals 3x a day. Think it should be more.

That seems extreme to me not enough protien or calories. You are definetly in a starvation mode. Think you need to up the protein to at least 60 gram and calories 600-800. If you read the posts here I think most would agree. I eat every 3 hours something really small 2-3 oz. I think it help keep your metabolizism up?! Just saying.........

Here is my progress 227 lbs on surgery day (DEC112012) and 1 month after at 192lbs.Ignore my panties and bra but i want to see it all and how it changes month to month

SERIOUSLY!! TMI!!

Is the 300 calories a day 6 weeks post-op a typo? If not, that is extremely low. I certainly do not want to tell you not to listen to your doctor but ......well, I'm not sure what to say because 300 calories a day is absolutely starvation mode. Most people on here on probably on at least 600-800 calories a day at 6 weeks out and some are even higher. I'm sure there are some who are struggling to get in all their calories but I can't imagine their program limited calories to 300 a day.

I apologize if I sound preachy...... just worried that you're not getting near enough calories.

Thank you, cute as a button and Dana that is just what I need to hear. No it is not a typo, being limited to three quarter cup servings of protein food only I had been only averaging 300 cal. And 30 grams of protein! The last couple of days I added more and I have started losing again. I was supposed to follow the above for the next six weeks. I was so afraid that if I did I wouldn't lose and would Canabalize my muscles. So frustrating not to be confident in the program I have been given. You folks give added confidence for me to modify it a little.

I am in the same boat, I wasn't doing it on purpose just couldn't get anything else in. So, I started trying to just eat more often instead of trying to get it all in just 3 meals and 2 snacks....I am trying to just eat about 5 or 6 times a day to get my calories in.

Sleeved on 12/17 down 30#

When were you sleeved...I was in pain for 5 weeks and didn't get any excercise in' date=' just slept as much as possible. Now that I am back at work I walk during my break, and try to do Kinnect at home on the weekends[/quote']

I was sleeved 12/26. Never had any issues and I'm just trying to follow all the rules. I read this forum a lot and learn so much. Just keep on keeping on.

I don't care for my protein shakes either so one of the ways I get my protein in is I use 6 or 8 ounces of milk and 2 scoops of protein powder. Then I have a very small amount to drink but get 44 grams of protein. I also cut up a couple of chicken breasts into chunks on Sundays and then eat them all week 3 oz of chicken has a lot of protein.

SERIOUSLY!! TMI!!

Yes, seriously.

12/13 started at 260 now 212. That's 48. Knees feel much better. Bad part is that all my pants fall down and I need to buy new belts. Love it!!

I do the same with shrimp --- lots of protein in just a few of them. I keep them in the fridge and grab a few when I think about it.
