I'm starving all the tiI'me , and I feel like I can eat almost normally, I'm only 7 weeks out!! nothing makes me sick..is 1000 calories day like way too much?? oh what if this is all I lose? I've lost 40 pounds and that's great , but did I go through all this pain only to fail?? I'm still burning 1500 excess cals ( a pound) a day with exercise..but how is this different from when I was on my thousand cal preop diet burning the same amount.??.the pounds didn't fall off then... I've been stalled for about 2 weeks I'm going insane!!! help! please tell me I'm not doing this all wrong thanks sara preop330/surgw300/cw260/gw140

Congratulations on the weight loss! Make sure that you are not drinking when you eat - if you are STOP! The liquids will push the food right through you and will leave your new pouch empty. You may want to check with your doctor since you are only 7 weeks out and can eat more than a cup at a time. Perhaps, they need to make sure that you don't need a revision. Keep in mind that your intestines are being bypassed so you aren't absorbing all of the fat and calories like you were before the surgery - so not, it isn't the same as the preop diet. I wish you the best of luck and keep your head up!! Just try to stay away from bad habits so when the level off happens - which shouldn't be for atleast 12 months that you don't gain the weight back.

Hi Sara! Seven weeks out and down 40 pounds? I'd say that's pretty great! Know that your body is going to "rest" periodically, to allow your metabolism to catch up. In the meantime, WHAT are you eating? If you are consuming empty calories, the weight loss is defintely going to slow or stop altogether. If you are watching your protein intake and staying away from the empty calories, you should be fine. The best advice is to talk to your surgeon... especially at seven weeks out. Good luck to you!!!!
