How is everyone doing? I just hit 4 weeks post op today. Struggling with getting Protein in. I am feeling pretty good though. Energy is low. I am down 50 lbs today since pre op diet.

4/26 sw 276

6/1 cw 226

I have been taking pictures along the way and they really help. I feel just as fat as I was +40 lbs ago, but when I look at my pictures, I can see the difference which is a great ego booster. I still have a long way to go (about 85 lbs) so I'll keep taking those pics until I'm at goal. Then I'll let other people take my picture which I never let happen now and in the past. ????

Sleeved May 20th... how many calories & grams protein are y'all getting in a day?

Sleeved May 20th... how many calories & grams protein are y'all getting in a day?

I have been doing about 650 calories and aim for 80gms of protein per day. I have been able to do it most days! My nutritionist said 600-800 calories is where I should be!

Forgot to say I was sleeved on May 26th!

I'm so frustrated! I was sleeved 5\21. For two weeks the scale has been hovering. It stays still or would go up one pound one day then back down the next. I'm so worried that it won't move again. I'm getting in between 900-1000 calories a day. Drinking lots of water and getting about 70-100g protein daily. Walking 3-5xs a week. Any suggestions?

Finally broke through an almost 3 week stall and have lost 3# in two days. Hoping it keeps up.

@@Mulepick Did you change anything to get it to move again? I'm in a stall too and am so frustrated.

No I didn't change anything but I have to say that, somehow, I gained two pounds over the weekend. Very disappointing so I'm cutting back cals even further.

Do ya think it's anything to do with the Month of May? Just kidding, but we sure do all seem to be doing the same thing. Stalling!! But I can walk better and people are noticing so it is an improvement.

I am going to weigh in the morning, I just hope it moved down a little this last week! I don't expect miracles but a pound or two would be great. I did have more calories today than normal so hopefully that doesn't mean it will go up too. I will be very sad if it goes up! Will let you know tomorrow what the scale says!

@@pamzie85 how are your clothes fitting? This is really the way I have felt I huge difference. I think I remember reading here somewhere that you can be losing inches but not necessarily lbs on the scale.

I am down 35lbs since pre-op, 26lbs since surgery. Colleagues and friends are definitely noticing and I've had to dig out clothes that are a size smaller. I hit a stall the past few days - but still lost 2 lbs the past week.

Getting water in is killing me.......and just not happening. :-(

@@scoutmom I must admit I've seen a slight change with clothes so that's a positive. I've tried to take pictures but I don't notice much of a difference. Sometimes I think it's too early and I'm bound to see the change soon. Still staying positive and grateful for the lost. Thanks for the advice.

I was sleeved may 21,2015

I bought these small disposable containers with lids that you usually get salsa in at restaurants- they sell them at target and they help me with portions- I measure out my yogurt, tuna etc for the week that way I see what I eat and it helps with lunches etc
