I Get @ 1000 calories a day and exercise everyday' date=' either at the gym or on my treadmill......drink @ 45 ozs of Water and Vitamins and Protein....[/quote']

I get about 45 oz of water too. But my calories are around 600. I haven't stalled yet but only a couple days. I probably just jinxed myself and will stall now. I don't eat breads, Pasta, fast food other than an occasional Wendy's chili or an occasional Arby's turkey wrap minus the sauce. I eat fruits, veggies, and some meats. Turkey or chicken seem to be all I can handle. Smell of beef cooking turned my stomach so I haven't cooked it since.

I am another January surgery that things have really slowed down for. It doesn't make sense. I average about 700 calories per day and am eating mostly Protein so I can get to 60 g per day. I have been drinking around 70 oz of Water per day and I have been burning around 400 calories every other day at the gym. When I looked at everything in MyfitnessPal and with my Fitbit, it looks like I should be losing weight hand over fist, but instead I am struggling to lose a couple of pounds per week.

I am grateful to be losing and am down 43 pounds since surgery on 1-14, but I really thought I would have better weekly weight loss. I started at 290 and am just under 247 today. I realize that is more than I could have done on my own, but I am disappointed. I honestly don't know what I could be doing to lose faster and my nut agrees I am doing everything right.

43 lbs in one month is awesome. It took me 3 months to lose 55. I'm sure you are doing great on everything being you've lost so much. With 43 now, your 3 month weight is going to be great. I also thought I was losing slowly at first however, I guess I didn't hitting 55 at 3 mo. Keep up the great work.

Hmm. Were you losing at the lesser calories? Did you start your stall on the lesser amount of calories? I just saw my nutritionist two weeks ago and she said where I am on calories is fine.

My surgery date is by my name and I started at 237 am now 181.

Good job on weight loss.. I go to surgeon in morning , will ask him, if my pouch is too big, I hardly ever feel full since l my band was unfilled and taken out....

Hello Everyone. I have been reading through the posts and I wanted to join in. My surgery date was 1/24/13. My starting weight was 311 and Day of surgery was 308.5 (that darn colon cleanse). Today I am 282. Loving the choice I made and look forward to getting to know some of you. You seem to be a very supportive and uplifting crowd.

My son came home from college this week hasn't seen me since the surgery. Watched me take two bites of something and put it down. He was so upset he said mom you are borderline starvation. I never really thought of it but I am still not really ratting anything just about 500 calories if I am lucky. Could I be border line starvation? Two months and 61 lbs gone.

Thoughts ....

I think your current diet is totally normal for the first 8 weeks or so. Way to go with the weight loss so far. This week I have realized that I am finally able to get in 2 ounces per meal instead of 1 ounce and that has helped get my calories a little bit higher (into the 700s) and get me to 60 grams of protein per day. My husband also freaks out that I really don't eat much at all, but that is why we had the surgery to begin with!

I am 3 months out and my Nut told me I was good when I was getting high 500-low 600 calories a day. Just make sure you get your protein in.
