6 months out. Calories, carbs?



Recommended Posts

As of 7/18 I am 6 months out from surgery and down a total of 110lbs (80 since surgery).

I have hit my first real stall and I'm not sure how many calories and carbs I should actually be eating at this point. I work 12 hour shifts 3x a week (on my feet for most of it) and work out with a personal trainer 2x a week for an hour (mostly lifting/weight training).

I'm working on adding in cardio/more exercise in general.

My surgeon said 800 - 1000 calories after healing and during weight loss phase. Supposed to limit carbs and no sugar. There is no number but my own goals is 20 - 40 a day.

Thanks! Broke through 185 today unless my scale is lying to me. Hopefully this means my stall is over

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
