Any other newbies on this journey out there?? Had my sleeve on Tuesday, 7/16; so I'm 9 days out. Day 3 has been the worst so far. Think I possibly have temporary (I hope) lactose-intolerance as I'm struggling with some bowel issues; but beyond that, I feel very good. Not being hungry all the time is wonderful. Still hard to get in the habit of not drinking for 30 min. before; during; and 30 min. after eating. How is everyone else making out?

I had a 6 ( July 29) week post-op today. I feel better than I have in the past and have even started my daily walking a couple weeks ago. I am currently able to eat chicken, fish, hard cheeses, cottage cheese, applesauce, SF puddings/jello and yogurt. My favorite so far is, Oscar Meyer Deli Turkey and that's pretty much where I get most of my protein, along with a Nectar Fuzzy Navel mixed with CL Sunrise Orange or an Unjury Chocolate Shake mixed with a little peppermint extract.. My weight loss has been slow and I was concerned, so I asked about it. My caloric intake is not enough is what I was told and then when I add exercise on top of that, I am deinitely not getting enough calories to boost my matabolism. I am curently comsuming anywhere from 600-850 calories/day and then burning around 200-250 calories with walking. My current fluid intake is around 50-70oz/day and protein is around 55-65 g/day. So my point here is, for those of you that think your weight loss has been slow, try incresing calores.

Im week 7 post op and gained this wrek this is really frustrating BC I actually started to do more exercising. :/

Muscle weighs more than fat. When you start excersing you might gain muscle mass.

I was sleeved 7-19-13 height 5'6 HW 245.5 SW 239 CW 220 I feel I am a slow loser I eat between 500-800 calories a day and I work out 6 days a week I do mostly cardio and 2 days of strength training I burn 400-500 calories a day I have lost 7 inches from my waists I am just not sure why the pounds are not falling off. This is really frustrating.

Maybe your not eating enough? The more you burn during workouts, the more you need to fuel your body

Thanks JessicaAnn I was thinking the same thing i asked my Nut about it and she told me I was fine. Next I am going to up my calories a bit to see if the scale will move.

Congrats. You are doing great.

Please help, July-2013 buddies!

How many calories per day do you eat? I'm worried that I'm eating too many, but worried about "starvation mode" if I eat too few. What do you guys do? What did your NUT's recommend for this point (I'm just under 8 weeks post-op)?

Thanks!!!
