My first six weeks after surgery I did not count calories(a year ago) . During the first six weeks I counted only Protein and Water. I followed the clinic and nutrition plan to a T.... It gets easier I promise. Those few weeks were the hardest so don't give up. You will wake up one day , weigh and be shocked at how much you lost. Take photos at different stages . I didn't because I hated looking at myself. My friend had my pic to remind me and show me how much I had lost and the changes.. I am so glad Bc it really helped me see the change.

I have a question. I'm 216 and have my psych eval on 12/15. I'm only 5' flat. How tall are y'all ? I'm thinking even a small amount of weight will look more on my small body

I started using the calorie tracker for the first time yesterday and realized I was not getting my calories in. I was eating an average of 360 calories. I made myself get to 536 and and 63 grams of Protein in and exercised. I just weighed and lost a pound. It works when you eat. I mainly ate meat and cheese. Had my Protein shake for Breakfast, 3 shrimp and one bite of squash for lunch, 2 more shrimp later as a snack, and I had to stay up late to force my self to eat a slice of deli meat, a slice of cheese, piece of salami and 2 tablespoons of a cheese log
