1100 calories in a day!!!



Recommended Posts

I am 18 months out and can easily take in 3000 to 4000 calories daily. if you dont address the underlying issues as to why you overate in the first place you will not have success. Clearly I have not addressed those issues and have started gaining again. I had lost 110 pounds but I have put 20 back on. I am trying to get refocused and considering got to OA but havent yet.

All I would add is that don't freak out over a single day of increased caloric intake. It can be explained with lower Water intake, increased carbs, or even Protein makeup. Go back to the basics and make sure you are not drinking with your meals and that you are not using sauces on/with your protein portions. Keep Proteins dry with spices only and eat more of this type of protein if hunger prevails.

I've been at a weight loss stall of 40 lbs for almost 8 months and that is adding in a burn of 6500+ calories for the past two months. Although the scale is still not moving I have felt the need to add additional proteins to keep the hunger at bay. I'll chalk the immobile scale to a gain in muscle weight instead.

Hi I’m almost 4 weeks post op... and like making of you I feel as if I’m eating too much!! I’m terrified of stretching my pouch (gastric sleevie here), and started purées and soft foods almost 2 weeks ago. Protein Drinks (and I’ve tried several) don’t agree with me but I do get a muscle milk in once a day. On the average I stay under 900 calories. But I am seeing a stall in my weight loss... nutritionist says this is common and wait for your body to adjust. Guess I’m impatient! Does anyone else have this issue at such a short time out of surgery???

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
