Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

So now I feel better we've lost about the same and have similar other stats and are eating around the same amount! hhmmmm I sound kinda stockerish lmao so not my intent

Are you tracking your foods? Whats your calorie intake and carbs? Are you doing any actives (working out)?

I'm only 5'5 so I'm right there with ya.

I eat around 1,000cals/day. I don't watch my carbs too much but try to not eat too much bread/rice/potatoes etc. I get at least 60g of protein and about 60oz of water a day.

I track my food and exercise on my fitness pal. Username is tarastars1 if you want to add me.

I workout 4-5 times a week doing both cardio and weights.

Awesome.

I'm on mfp as ersopher I'll look ya up there.

I'm at about 1000 caliores 50 carbs (which I tend to go over lately) 88-100 protein and I try to hit 8-10 glasses of water. I strained my groin muscle a few months ago and tryd to let it rest and It's not healing so I'll be starting PT soon. Frack! lol

I want to be active again shitted I;ve lost 105 pounds in less than a year I WANNA LIVE

Thank you for answering my questions btw

I find different days I can eat different amounts. Some days I can hold 1/2 cup of food. some days 3/4 c of food. Also different foods make a difference to the amount. Sat. I tried to eat 6 ounces of mahimahi, almost threw up. 4 oz of fish is all I can eat. Yogurt I can eat 6 oz.. My calories are between 700-900 60-70 grams of protein. I do not count carbs, but drink about 64 ounces a day. Sophiepants, I am 5'6" too down 73 pounds as of tuesday. I do not use MFP. It is too long to use. I keep everything in a journal, which I carry everywhere with me. I like being accountable for what I eat.

That is true about eating different amounts different days. I do feel that I seem I eat a tad more now with out the hurt. I always eat my protein first at each meal. I am a carb freak. lol

You sound like your doing great!

I used to write down my foods in a journal daily when I stared too. I use mfp and it's gotten so much easier.

Sounds like everyone is doing GREAT! I am loving my sleeve. I have been a little disappointed with my weight loss lately...only lost 4 pounds last month and 2 of those pounds have been in the last week!! (yikes). I have been exercising and tracking my intake on MFP like a mad-man lately! This is the first stall I have experienced, so hopefully things will start to change. I am down a total of 83 pounds since my pre-op diet, something that would never have happened with out WLS. This has truly been a life-changing event! I am sooooo glad I finally did this for ME!

Keep up the good work, everyone!

Oh thank god lol I totally thought I was eating so much more than I should.

I can definitely get 5 oz. down of ground beef and about 4 oz. of shredded chicken breast. I get so anxious when I read people who are like a year out and only able to get in 2-3 in! Relieved to hear others are in the same boat!

Hi everyone,

Good to hear how y'all are doing.

Things are going well for me. How much I can eat each day varies for me too, but usually around 800 calories. Some days I just don't feel like eating and get in 500-600. Lately I started working out with a trainer and have had a few days where I was actually hungry (nothing like pre-surgery though) and ate 900-1000 calories. I needed to make use of more veggies to fill myself up after I got my protein in.

I still can only eat half a cup of food at a sitting. Protein: maybe 2-3 ounces, then a couple of bites of veg. I have my 3 meals a day plus a snack midmorning and midafternoon.

Have had some stalls along the way, but never more than a few weeks. Even during stalls I still lost inches.

My biggest problem is eating slowly. That is the worst habit to break and I wasn't even a speed eater to start with.

Oh that's really good! I've also been eating a little faster but never really had that issue post sx. I should measure myself again its been months. sheesh protein wise I can eat 4 oz of something's. and an ounce or so of veggies!

I just found out I gained weight! WTF I was 173 now (I've been weighing daily and I need to stop!) I weigh 175. Gawd not what I need right now! I feel yucky this morning!

I need to revaluate my foods I guess. Even though I'm not eating any different. Or maybe I need to just relax lol
