Wow 48 lbs. That is great. I was sleeved may 6 im getting in about 550 calories but that includes my 2 Protein Shakes a day. My coworkers who have had it done say im not eating enough but I don't feel like I can do more at this time. Im getting really discouraged I am only down 19 lbs since surgery I don't see how I can eat that little and not lose.My nutritionist is on vacation so not sure how much I should be eating at this point.

Sleeved 5/21. Eat about 700 calories and a minimum of 55 or 60 g Protein. Trying to get all my protein from food because the Protein Drinks go right through me and the diarrhea is awful. So I use Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese and Beans. There is a new protein vegetable steamer I plan to try today. I use Myfitnesspal to track. Down about 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I was sleeved on may 6th- down 32 lbs and many inches since surgery. I'm taking in around 800 calories daily . Been losing 4-4.5 lbs weekly consistently since surgery.

I've done some research and time and time again I've read and been told to increase my calories to at least 700. So, to those of you who have stalled this should be the key for your break through! Thanks for all the responses I appreciate each of you greatly :)

Please do your measurements ppl! The scale is not the only thing to pay attention to. You will be shocked and really be able to see your progress when you see how many inches you have lost!

I did start measuring myself about 3 weeks ago and have dropped 3 inches

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
