I was only eating around 300 calories and less than 20g carbs a day. My surgeon wanted me to eat 3 meals a day but wasn’t able to eat enough to get any calories or carbs in!! So I had to start eating small meals several times a day. Now I eat at Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and snack. I’m getting around 600 calories and closer to 30 or 40g carbs a day. The first day I did it, I felt like I was eating way too much and worrying about bad habits by eating several times a day. But that’s what it takes to be able to increase my calories and carbs and get the scale moving again. My stall was exactly 3 weeks long. A very long 21 days.

I am a year out and have lost 113 pounds. Every single stall I have had has been relieved by upping my calories. Currently I eat abt 1400 a day w 60 to 85 g of Protein.

That is an interesting observation!

I don't know if I prolonged my stall by drinking wine, but I cut that our and scale is moving again. What a crazy month!! Hopefully things are more smooth next month.

Isn't it funny how 600 calories feels like too much now? Lol

I remember one of my last meals before my pre-op diet was a Wendy's double with cheese, baconater fries, large Coke, large frosty.. Total of 2270 calories! And that was only my lunch!!

      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! 😞
