I'm a bit confused? Can you help me understand if you're concerned about your calories being too low or too high? My plan does not have any mention of calorie goals at all, at any stage, so I'm not sure what you're shooting for.

That is just it, I have no idea what my calorie goals are supposed to be. I use myfitnesspal and I am super under but for some reason I thought I was supposed to be between 5-600 right now.

I have been around 500-600 the last few days and just started my 3rd week

That is where I have been too. 800, if I get through all of it today is a huge jump.

I found a great article on calories here but will double check with doctor. How Many Calories Should I Eat After Gastric Sleeve: A Quick Guide (drjalil.com)

I'm new here as well. Scheduled for Sept 20th.

I'm a little disappointed with how little weight I've lost but other than that I can't complain - how about you?

About 13 lbs
Since the 20th? That's over half a pound a day! That seems really good to me! However I know when you don't meet your expectations, it sucks. You got this though! I keep hearing most Dr's don't care about how much you lose until after you start regular food anyway! The rest is just a transition.

My surgery was also 9/20. I’ve “only” lost 4 lbs since surgery. During the preop diet I lost almost 20.

im trying not to stress about it too much but it is a bit disappointing. Just have to remind myself constantly it’s the long term benefits that matter. But yea. I hear you.

Omigosh that actually makes me feel so much better - my doc didn't have me lose prior so I expected big numbers in the first few weeks. Thank you so much really appreciate it.

My HW 230 my SW 220.4 I had my surgery 9/28/22 CW 213.6. I see lots of these post about not losing weight. I think its because we are all different all bodies are not the same. I do hope and pray that we all get to our weight goal. 🙏

Oh really?! That makes sense bc i went to doc today and he didnt even comment on my weight loss - you are so right, I shouldnt get wrapped up in it, but its hard lol. Thank you for the kind words, this is a journey :)

Incase anyone needs a little extra hydration these are wonderful, my doctor suggested these or liquid iv these are a little cheaper, you can get them from Amazon and they have alot of different flavors, my mom even found an apple cider one ....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
