Help. Afraid I've messed up

Hi guys, I am two months out from my sleeve. Had it on May 16th. Things were going great. Down 28lbs. Then I had a major accident and had to have emergency surgery. Had pins and plates put in my right arm (I'm right handed). then 3 weeks at home unable to do anything. I was bored and didn't eat exactly right but kept on track...I thought....Now back at work and am absolutely starving! I still can be as active as I would like. Doctor has said to wait for most activity (I had started running and I horseback ride). Think I'm eating too much. I have hit a stall and didnt' lose anything this week. I had my surgery with A lighter me in Tijuanna and didn't really get too much support info for this point. Can anyone tell me how much I should be eating and how much wieght loss weekly I can expect at this point. Thanks...I don't want to screw this up. I'm so afraid of ruining it and not losing weight.

    Sorry you had to have surgery. My doctor told me to eat at least 1000 calories per day (65g protein). I use MyFitnessPal to track my meals. Good luck.

Sorry to hear of your accident and surgery. I haven't had the surgery yet, but have been doing all the pre-surgery stuff so I'm no help in regard to how much you can expect to lose at this point. SparkPeople is also a great site for tracking nutrition and exercise. I especially like it for figuring nutritional information for any recipes I make. Good luck!

It's a balancing act and stalls happen. I had my surgery May 21st and just busted through a 3 week long stall. I was going crazy and having various conversations in my head. Did I eat too much? Am I eating too many carbs? Should I walk longer? Faster?

Turned out that all I needed to do was increase my protein and calories by a little. As long as you're not grazing and not eating fries and sugar all day, you're not doing anything wrong. You just may need to adjust a little.

The accident sucks, however don't allow obstacles to detract you from your objective! :angry:

Unfortunately, this is simply a hurdle to overcome and there will be plenty of others throughout the rest of your life! You can and will overcome each and every one of them, however you have got to want it!

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.

Good luck and Godspeed for a quick recovery...you got this! ;)

@LisaLH Thanks for the heads up on SparkPeople!

We all get scared of messing up. I have been in a stall for the past 3 weeks and now barely loosing some weight. I sometimes like to munch on things. I don't think you messed up. We just start loosing fast and then gradually. Just have patience. You will do great. The stalls suck.
