How many calories and update on weight loss

I am concerned about my weight loss. I am 7 weeks post op tomorrow (2/20) and have only lost 30 lbs. I see others have lost lots more so I thought I'd see where other people are (hoping to be normal but fearing the worst). So if you'd like to share, please do. I was doing great on the exercise but have really slacked off the last two weeks because of work. I've got to kick that back in. Also, how many calories are people eating. My nut told me 800-1000 but 1000 seems like a lot. I am tracking my calories and somedays make it to 1000 and somedays I don't. What about the rest of you guys? Frustrated!

I know that people who have this surgery at a higher starting weight will lose faster, so if you started at a lower weight this may be why you are losing a bit slower. Personally 30 lbs is great and most people would have never been able to lose that before surgery! So be proud of your weight loss! I am sure it has to do with the fact that you stoppped working out... and don't forget muscle weights more than fat, so while you are working out, you are gaining muscle, so chances are you probably have gained some muscle! check you inches that is a sure sign of losing! I consume on most days 600-700 cal, 64 ounces of water, 63g protein. I had my surgery a day before you... I started at 265lbs, currently at 225lbs... I am a full time nursing student so i haven't exactly had a chance to work out... so i haven't had the chance to build as much muscle as you have! Keep up the great work , take your measurements ! I am sure you'll notice a difference.... Brooke 265/225/150/120 surg/now/dr.goal/my goal

I meant to say i had my surgery a day after you.. OOopppsss! lol

I had my surgery on 2/27/07 and have lost a total of 33 pounds in the first 3 weeks. I have been on a stall for the last 3 weeks. I have lost a lot of inches, but no pounds. since I have been back to work, I have slacked off on exercise because I am so busy. I have been getting under 1000 calories per day, between 700 and 900 usually. I do not get enough fluids. I have upped my protein so I am getting at least 60 grams or more per day. I hope this will kick a new round of weight loss. I am just as frustrated! Thanks, V
