This might be a question that has already been addressed several times, but i am definitely asking again....

I was sleeved April 9th and according to my team i have been doing great with my weight loss. Well I am three months out and am only 43lbs down, I feel like I should be more down.

I battle with how many calories I should be getting. I was doing 600 a day but I moved it up to 800, which I am now constantly hungry so I am going back down.

I work out at the gym so I know i have a calorie deficit daily.

Could it be that I am not meeting my Protein goal daily?

I just need a lil guidance y'all....

Help?

Protein is very important.

I'm 2 months tomorrow and at 6 weeks was 500-600 cals and goal of 60-90 g of protein.

At my 6 week appt which I didn't have til 8 weeks due to my work schedule the NUTsaid 900-1000 cals.

I aim for 900 cals and 90 g of protein but often go over my protein number.

Qween - you are losing at a really nice pace. Anything more than at that pace is you losing muscle.

The most important thing you can do right now is keep your Protein up and avoid muscle loss.

Stick with what you're doing and be patient - you'll get where you want to be, I promise!

Thank you two for replying I know I need to just focus on my Protein. I ordered my Unjury finally which is the only one I can tolerate.

I'm almost 10 weeks out and my nut said they want me at 1000 cals by 3 months. I'm struggling to hit 600-800. She also told me at that low number of cals, working out isn't wide because there isn't enough fuel to compensate and that exercising would be counter productive at that cal amount. So I would guess for you that you should try bumping up your cals by eating more Protein (or drinking it) and stick to your workout schedule. Keep up the great work!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
