4 months, down 60. I hit a stall though No weight loss for almost a month

4 months post-op down 61...but hit a LOng stall

How much are we supposed to be eating? A cup's worth?

Haven't posted in awhile! I'm 4 months post-op and recently hit a horrible stall. I have not lost anything since the end of April. It's like my body refuses to get out of the 200s (i've been stuck at 204). Any advice? I think I'm eating TOO much. I've been hungry. I recently started a BC pill which I partly blame for the stall/hunger. I eat 870-970 cals a day....for 4 months out, I'm thinking I should NOT be eating any more than 800 a day. I eat close to 70 grams of protein a day. I DON'T exercise consistently, but will. Does this mean my body is stopping the weight loss? Maybe i've been snacking too many? I still have 65 mpre to lose does this mean im DONE?!

Wow! 47!

Just wanted to check-in I'm down 37 lbs since surgery in January and feeling GREAT!

Wow that's a lot for the pureed stage. I'm almost 6 weeks out and only just now hit 620-660 cals lol

2 slices of bacon in an omelet with cheese. First time trying bacon! ZOMGGG!

Did 31 mins on the elliptical and burned 305

5 weeks out...had complications 2 days after surgery and had a 2nd emergency surgery. Could I have lost 31 pounds this quickly and on my own? Probably not. I was at the end of my rope...I couldn't diet anymore, I needed a fixed lifestyle change. I've been nothing but happy with my decision...complications and all, I'd do it again. I do mourn food. You will get so full of something off a bite or two and WISH AND YEARN to eat more...it's a depressing feeling, you feel as if you didn't have your fill. You will get through that though if you choose to. Let this tool be a last resort...if you've truly and honestly exhausted all other diet options, then this is for you.

Im almost 5 weeks out and can have meats...

Going on 5 weeks post-op and had my first experience throwing up yesterday at school! I ate grilled chicken either too fast, or a bite or two more than I was supposed to. Omg. It felt stuck. I kept burping and had saluva. I tried to walk it off but 20 mins later threw up some foamy stuff and felt so much better. Yikes!!

4 weeks out 30 lbs

My doc said Protein intake early on is more important than caloric intake

I've never thrown up...am a month out...is this normal? I hear everyone talking about throwing up and nausea!

Exhausted always. Even more than usual. Surgery 1/15/13. I was anemic before surgery and was tired always...so mh levels must be even worse now

I agree with you all. My family says I'm crazy and should just go and enjoy myself b/c I can only eat 3 bites anyway...but to me, eating something fried at a month out seems like cheating lol

I'd also like to know. I keep hearing that EVERY rny or vsg patient gains it back after years. That can't be true that ALL patients do!

Mine were always regular...now haven't had one yet

3 tyson chicken niggets, one piece of broccli. Was so full, I almost puked. Ugh.

Carbonation expands naturally and causes bloat...think about how it'd affect your pouch!
