I wonder if anyone is experiencing a massive change in their metabolism. Naturally after being reduced to incredibly low calories, are people able to even continue weight loss once moving forward to a normal diet consisting of 1000+ calories. I find myself only able to lose weight when I am eating as little as 800 calories and I feel horrible since I am at the gym 3 times a week and hiking on the weekends. Doesn't seem to make sense but I read it is possible to permanently alter your rate. I had mine tested by a dietician and trainer and I should be at 1,773 and it seems a) almost impossible to eat that amount of food (even at 1.5 years out) and b.) I have to still focus on the Protein more than carbs to sustain my workouts.

Anyone else struggling here?

I am having mine tested on Nov. 18. I have never done it before. I will let you know what I find out. I had my surgery 2 years ago and have been at goal weight for 20 months.

Not sure where in WA you are - where are you going for testing? I've been looking for a place in the Seattle area if you have any suggestions.

This is where I had my sleeve done. I am also doing the body fat testing that morning. I have my 2 year follow up apt so I figured I might as well get it all done.

Thanks @@Kathy812

Very curious to see what yours is at! Congrats at your weight goal, I can't seem to hit mine no matter what. I'm deeply considering finding a trainer that specialized in VSG patients. Every fitness expert I speak to doesn't seem to understand how contorted our systems are after such a dramatic change.
