When people ask you how much weight you have lost so far do you guys go from your highest weight' date=' or from the day you came home from the hospital?[/quote']

I'm counting from my highest weight in Feb. it's all part of the journey.

How many calories are you eating a day

I've been getting around 500 most days. I don't think It's enough, but my approved foods don't have a ton of calories.

My surgery was 9-3 and I was instructed to eat 900 calories. I'm suppose to stay there until 6 months post op them it can go up to 1200 or near there to maintain. I would check with your doctor though

Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

I get about 400-500... I didn't know if that was the norm. I've also only lost one pound this week.

I think once we're about a month out, we're supposed to be getting around 800. My drs diet is pretty strict. It's all meat and dairy and only carbs from veggies, so It's been hard to get over 600 calories. I'm convinced my body will eventually go into starvation mode and it will hold onto everything I put in my mouth lol...that's what I'm afraid of at least!

I had surgery Sept 16th, and this last week has been brutal with being tired and having ZERO energy. I have napped almost everyday and my husband is making fun of me. I do not like to sleep, I feel like sleep is a waste of time, so for me to nap is completely irregular.

So, today I stayed awake all day and made sure I took in 70-grams of Protein and 64-oz of Water, but don't really feel any different.

I have not started exercising though since surgery. I have a terrible back-ache and it hurts to much to exercise. I have never had back problems, so I am unsure what this is all about.

Tomorrow, I am 4-weeks Post op and I don't want to stall, so hopefully this will pass.

I've started jogging...once or twice a week lol. Not a lot of energy :/ I stalled(actually gained some) for almost two wks which was depressing as hell, but suddenly the past three days, I dropped two lbs per day! I didn't change anything and it wasn't that time of the month so idk what's up with that

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
