I think my nightmare has come true.....

I was sleeved on May 15th. My starting weight was 240 after two weeks liquid diet I was 225 now two months out I am 194.5 total lost is 45.5 lbs. I also stalled for 3 weeks. However I continue to walk 3-5 miles a day. I have gone from a size 18 to size 12. A lot of inches! I did not measure myself cause I don’t want to drive myself crazy. I just eat right and ignore a lot of this because if you don’t you will go crazy. People are constantly telling me how much weight I have lost. Exercise is the key! I also weight lift. I eat no carbs. I drink Decaf coffee black. I’m very strict. Hang in there it will come off.

Hey Kelly,
My doc did not give a specific calorie number so I have no idea where I'm supposed be. Some people here on VST are only getting 300-400 at this stage, while others were told 600-800 and others 1000-1200. Everything is so ambiguous....it's frustrating because I have no idea what's the right amount of carbs or calories at this stage. I'm averaging about 800 right now. I do have a tough time getting in enough Water but since I switched to plain Water with just lots of lemon and some Splenda I'm doing much better getting it down. I'm not a much of a fan of Crystal Light or MIO... I sometimes do the nectar Fuzzy Navel Protein  powder with water during the day and that give me a two-fer --- water and Protein and it kind of taste like an Orange Julius.

My but gave me this along with the recommendation of less that 3o grams fat and 30 grams carbs for fist 3 mths. Then first year no more than 50 grams fat and carbs. Seems like every Dr. and program is different so check with your doctors / but and stay on your program. Best of luck.
