Daily calories 8 months post VSG sleeve



Recommended Posts

Height: 5’2

GW: 115

So lately my daily calories have increased dramatically. I’m able to consume around 1250 calories per day, and I most definitely do. 🤦🏼‍♀️
I’m 8 months out, I workout for at least 15-30 minutes a day (I know, that’s not much but ya know..).
Haven’t lost weight in about a month and a half, and I’m starting to go kinda nuts. Is it the daily calories that’s sabotaging my weight-loss? I wouldn’t have thought 1250 is to much...
perhaps it’s a standard stall...? Maybe it’s the excessive sodium...? (Lots of salted sunflower seeds)
thoughts?

Yep. Also the 8-10 month lull is a real thing. I've seen it in myself and in so many other sophomores!

Bottom line, to lose? I need to be at 600-850cals per day, <25-30g net carbs, 60-75g Protein, and healthy fats to fill up the remaining cals. It's about 30-45g fat per day.

Absolutely no alcohol. Very little artificial sweeteners.

And I do IF. LOL. It helped me get my last 20lbs off. I started IF in my 9th month. I can easily get my protein in from food and get 100+oz water/liquid daily.

I'm in the same boat right now at 4 months. I think it's a stall. If I eat 600 calories I maintain but if I eat 900 calories I gain. How crazy is that?

Sodium will def defeat you!

I’m nearly a year out and I fluctuate between 121 -123lbs depending on how many calories I eat. If I eat over 1100, I tend to gain. I can easily lose it by eating under 1100 the next day. Mostly I just eat 990-1000 and stay around 121. If I dip below that, I eat extra nuts the next day.

My tricks on days when I’m using up calories but feel legitimately hungry or just “want” food? A 16 ounce mug of Hot Decaf tea with Truvia and a splash of sugar free French vanilla Creamer. Very filling, sweet and few calories. It’s also hydrating. Sometimes I have to do that a few times in the same day!

Other times I just say, “Eff it”, have a single serve ice cream cup and deal with it the next day! But I always deal with it within 48 hours so it doesn’t pile up. ;)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
