I was using almond milk but its kind of pricey. Someone told me soy milk can cause cancer so I don't wanna drink that. I want to cut calories as much as possible so maybe I'll just suck it up and stick to almond milk. How many calories should I be consuming at 5 weeks? I know everyone is different but I feel like I eat too much.

My RD said to focus more on Protein than calories the first couple of months, but on average she said most people are getting about 600 calories during this time.

Ditto. My RD has me at 700-800 calories and 80-100 grams of protein per day. I'm almost 8 weeks out.

Are you still losing? I get 600-1000 cal a day (usually 800), 63-70 protein and 64-80 ounces if Water and only lose 1-2 pounds a week. The first 2 weeks lost 12 pounds. I am in week 5 and still only 1-2 pounds a week for weeks :( I see my doctor next week but feel like I am doing something wrong. Not sure if I should cut out more calories or add a little more. It is confusing..

I like this recipe my nut gave me: 1 cup part skim ricotta add grated lemon peel, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Splenda packet. Mix it up and separate into 2 portions. I like this as a dessert. Good Protein. I do like the eggface site. She has awesome recipes and she also recommends the SF Torani syrups which I hope to try soon. Maybe you could use the syrups with plain Greek yogurt to make it more appealing. ;-)

A few weeks back I hit a pretty big stall, then started losing inches, now I'm losing pounds again, but it's slow as well; however I feel this is my fault in a way. I've had the upper respiratory junk twice since surgery and its lasted almost 2weeks both times. I haven't been doing the exercise part like I should. Until now, I also haven't been tracking my calorie intake like I should. I plan to change all of that and be more structured. Hopefully I'll start losing better now especially since I feel so much better. And yes I agree, it's confusing and frustrating at times. Good luck!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
