Thanks for that article. I was told by a friend that has had bypass, that I would always see myself as "fat"... I blew it off, thinking I would not think that way, but I was wrong. I am down 70+lbs and even though others can see it as a significant change, I am still stuck at" fat"... wondering if this feeling will ever go away.

I am 6.5 months out and I try to get in 65-75g /daily. I seen on Unjury site that the more you want to lose, the more protein you should take in daily.

I am a little over 6 months out and this is the first stall I have encountered. I have adjusted net calories from 850 to 950-1000. I've even joined a gym and walk faithfully everyday and still haven't moved the dial on the scale. . Any recommendations as to what else I can do to jump start again.?

4 months and 10 days out...54 LBS GONE! Feeling SUPER!

I had a 6 ( July 29) week post-op today. I feel better than I have in the past and have even started my daily walking a couple weeks ago. I am currently able to eat chicken, fish, hard cheeses, cottage cheese, applesauce, SF puddings/jello and yogurt. My favorite so far is, Oscar Meyer Deli Turkey and that's pretty much where I get most of my protein, along with a Nectar Fuzzy Navel mixed with CL Sunrise Orange or an Unjury Chocolate Shake mixed with a little peppermint extract.. My weight loss has been slow and I was concerned, so I asked about it. My caloric intake is not enough is what I was told and then when I add exercise on top of that, I am deinitely not getting enough calories to boost my matabolism. I am curently comsuming anywhere from 600-850 calories/day and then burning around 200-250 calories with walking. My current fluid intake is around 50-70oz/day and protein is around 55-65 g/day. So my point here is, for those of you that think your weight loss has been slow, try incresing calores.

Congratulations! Love to hear positive things!

I wish I had the answer to that. Hopefully, it will all change soon. Makes me depressed:(

Please tell me this 3 week stall will not stay. Is there anything different one can do to help with this stall. My surgery was July 29, and I'm lucky to get on 500-600 calories/ day. I can get 60-65g of protein and 50-60 oz fluid. Not sure what else I can do different.

Fooducate is also a great app. I happen to like it better than myfitnesspal. Just sayin'.

I'm day 2 post-op and I've felt better. I've got lots of what I feel is acid reflux going on and think I would do better if it would just go away. Is this normal to have this? I've been keeping 5-6 oz fluids down an hour and will be allowed to have proteins at some point today. I'm also hoping to get cath out today.

Unjury has my vote. I have tried both chocolates, vanilla, chicken and unflavored. I have tried many Nectar flavors and I still go back to Unjury. I have even added a drop of peppermint extract to the chocolate and different sugar free pudding mixes to the vanilla, just to give a different shake flavor.

I've been using either unjury vanilla or nectar Vanilla. I them add about a TBS or two of SF pudding mix for a variety of flavors. Tonight, I had a vanilla mixed with SF cheesecake pudding in and sprinkled in some SF cherry Jello mix for Cherry Cheesecake... AWESOME! banana is great as well.

I had a terrible headache yesterday and still some of it today, but feel like I am finally doing better. I am only on day 3 of a 14 day diet and I still want to eat everything in sight, but I keep telling myself that it will get better. I just keep fluids in me to help subside the "hunger" pains. The only down fall to drinking so much is that I am up 2-3 times nightly to go to the bathroom. UGH! Good Luck to all!

I was denied the first time with BCBS of MN, but then approved with appeal 3 weeks later.
