I am six months out sleeve and lost 50 pounds the first two months. The last four months I have lost exactly zero pounds. I still have 30 to 40 pounds to hit goal. My average day is 1000 cal. I do cardio but I do not lift weights.

I am considering just eating an egg for breakfast and then grilled chicken breast for lunch and dinner. I am choosing this because I get the most restriction and it will bring my calorie intake to about 600. What do you think? Any advice?

How many carbs do you eat each day? How much protein and water are you taking in each day? It seems incredibly unusual that you haven't lost anything in 4 months at 1000 calories per day. Have you talked to your team about it?

BTW -- at 6 months out, 600 calories a day is way too low. I get that you want to restart your weight loss, but there has to be another way to do it.

Yes, I have talked to my surgeon. He wants me to do the preop liquid diet to restart but I find that very difficult because the shakes are just a slider food for me. I want to use my tool for what it is...restriction

I'm exactly the same! Lost NOTHING for 3 months. I eat about 1000 a day. Dr said stop the shake. Nut said too MUCH protein, add small fruit, then dr said no fruit, add shake....I'm so confused! I've tried changing what I eat, how much, increased activity, increased water, etc. a friend that is about a year out said it happened to her too, said one day just started falling off quickly again. I'm praying for that day! Lol

My doctor has the following guidelines: Calories 800; Carbs 40; Protein 65-80; Water At least 64 oz. Weigh and Measure everything, and Track your food. Protein first, followed by veggies. When I follow the guidelines I lose weight. I include one shake a day to up my protein. I totally avoid protein bars -- too many carbs.

I think your proposed plan of an egg for breakfast and a piece of chicken for lunch and dinner would not be successful. You would "fall off the wagon" quickly and become more discouraged.

I've had some difficulties lately and I'm just getting back on track. It is tough, but I won't give up. I am determined to reach my goal.

Best of luck to you.

My recommendation is stop any shakes and protein supplements and feed your body lean protein, a wide range of vegetables, small amounts of whole grains, and a little fruit. Whole Foods, no sweeteners. And drink tons of water only. No artificial or natural sweeteners. Give it a try. I think you will feel great and get results.
