Eating protein burns calories? Wow!
Dr. Oz was just explaining this interesting fact:
Your body burns TWICE as many calories working to digest protein versus working to digest carbohydrates.
Us VSG'ers must be burning tons of calories in the tummy with all the dense protein we eat!
Interesting tidbit

Can you shed any light on this
Pre op 6 lbs lost, M1 - 23 lbs M2 - 11 lbs M3 - 12 M4 - 6 M5 -10 M6 -10 M7 -7 M8 - 4 M9 - 4

most people lose the most amount of weight the first month. its just how it works. you may lose slower in subsequent months, dont freak out! its ok and normal. just follow your docs plan, measure your food, dont over do it, eat protein at every meal because you are eating so little it must be protein to sustain your bodys basic life processes.
i think the problem comes in when people are cleared for mushies or solids they add in a whole bunch of junk, carbs, potatoes, crackes, candy, cookies. Eat your protein and you will be ok. you may not lose 25 lbs every month, it may be more like 10. and that will get you to goal.

I just trying to make the best of my first 6 months and hoping for a big loss at the end. I am going to start an exercise program at home that I brought off of a tv program that swears the results are good lol when I am cleared and over the winter I think I will learn to run again at my sister's on her treadmill. I don't think I can afford a gym this winter but will see after xmas is over and done with.

This shake is amazing and definitely a good habit for me. I wouldnt recommend this for those newly sleeved, maybe those closer to goal as my shake has caffeine (which can dehydrate you!) and carbs in it. But since I was about 5-6 months out I have been drinking a Click protein shake, both in the vanilla latte and mocha flavors.
It has caffeine so its a wake-me- up. I mix 1 scoop with 8oz milk and some ice, mix for 10 seconds in my Bullet, and pour it into a pretty cup so it really feels like a treat.
Love it!
