That's a great point...thanks! I will definitely be extending this phase to ensure full healing. Appreciate the post!!

Just wondering what other RNY => TORe patients' Post Op diet transition was like. I did clears for 4 days then started full liquids 2 weeks then I'll do soft/mushies for 2 weeks. I'm seeing other folks extending their soft foods to 3 weeks so I'm wondering if doing that may help overall. I suppose it couldn't hurt, right?

Thanks, @GeorgiaPeach48!! I definitely can use some encouragement. I'm only on day 8 and I'm very hungry and weak as I'm still on full liquids until this Sunday. For some reason this seems so much harder than when I had my original RNY. Definitely seeing the pounds drop on the scale already but looking forward to having some oomph back LOL

I had the TORe procedure on Monday 5/15 and I’m still having some discomfort and pain but the nausea and vomiting have subsided. I can’t wait to see the results.

Thank you so much for sharing. I agree that I need to understand the true needs of my body when it comes to protein. I've broken the stall this week and I think it was because I (unintentionally) dropped dairy the past couple days and stepped up the movement/exercise along with water. I'm just relieved to see the scale moving again! My protein dropped to averaging 60 grams instead of 75. Could be on to something!

Thank you, this helps!! I still use a protein bar or shake and I want to get used to eating more real food. Appreciate you sharing!

You all look fabulous! I can’t wait to buy some clothes that fit me and post here!!! ❤️❤️?

I’m having a hard time getting in my 75 ounces of protein. What does a typical day look like for you? I’d love some new ideas for ways to get up to 85 or 90 grams!!

Amazing job!!!! Keep up the great work!!! ??

Thank you! Appreciate you sharing. This is definitely not a sprint and I’m in it for the long haul. Figuring out how this body works at my age is definitely a daily learning experience. ?

Went from a DD to D and now C. I haven’t worn a C cup since 6th grade. This is a bit hard for me.

Stalled again at almost 5 months out. For about 2 1/2 weeks so far. I'm 50 pounds down but wishing this stall hadnt hit now. Onederland is only 22 pounds away and I'm feeling discouraged. Not really sure the best thing to do so I'm going back to supplementing my mini meals with protein shakes and ~700 calories per day. At least for a few days. I admit my water intake has been poor over the past 2 weeks and I will push to ensure I get my 64-72 in today. Does anyone have any other ideas for stall busters???

I’ve lost a little over 50 and I’m seeing friends this weekend that haven’t noticed. Or if they have didn’t say a word.

Alex, sending prayers for complete and quick healing!

Because of a lot of scar tissue and adhesions from previous surgery my sleeve to bypass took about 4 hours. I stayed 2 nights and recovery at home was 4 weeks. Although, I could have gone back to work sooner!! Good luck!

7 1/2 weeks out and 31 down. I had a 2 1/2 week stall at 3 weeks out. Then very slow progression. I started working out with a trainer last week and seeing body changes but the scale is slooooooooow!

I have a Nokia/Withings scale that pairs well with the LoseIt app that I use for food and exercise tracking. I find the Lose It app very easy to use and helpful with tracking macros and Protein and Water intake. The scale measure body fat and heart rate as well.

I'm curious about what others may be eating at about 7 weeks out from surgery. I'm around 700 calories per day with a 50% protein 20% fat 30% carb ratio. I had a revision from sleeve to RNY and after the initial 20 pounds lost the rest is coming off extremely slowly. Its hard to get the 75-90 grams of protein in without relying on 2 shakes a day. I'm looking for tips on what to eat to get my protein in with eating 3-4 small meals per day. (1/2 a shake or no shake if possible) Thanks in advance for sharing!

@FluffyChix was right! A laxative and a 1 pound drop in weight today. Now if I can just do that again! I can feel and see the lower tummy is not as bloated as yesterday but I still need to go more. I'm a MiraLax once a day kind of girl from now on I think. (Doc's suggestion) I also see a physical therapist today to start underwater aquatic exercise so that should help my situation too! Hope everyone is having a good Friday. Keep up the good fight!

How are the other slow losers doing today? I went up .6 of a pound today and feel bloated in my lower belly. Realized I need to take a laxative as it's been a few days. (Sorry for TMI) Hoping that gets me to feeling better. I am feeling a little depressed and could use a boost.

Depending on how your body is holding onto water and waste that is definitely normal. It doesn't seem to follow any logical pattern but will even itself out eventually. Easy to say but I know it super hard to deal with. Just keep doing everything you know is correct and healthy and it will go back down.

You are doing great!!!! Congrats on all your hard work. IT IS PAYING OFF!!!

This group/thread has made me feel much more "normal" than I did over the past few weeks. I'd really like to keep hearing updates from everybody as this type of support is definitely helping me. Not every weight loss journey is sunshine and roses and this is hard work with what seems to be slow payoff. BUT, as so many have mentioned the scale is going in the right direction because we're sticking with what we know is right. Even though our heads are saying what the heck, body....get with the program and step it up!

I've only lost 6 pounds in the last 4 weeks. This is so difficult for me to comprehend. When I had my sleeve (5 yrs ago) I was dropping weight like crazy. I understand the body needs time to recover from surgery and "figure out" whats happening. But like so many have said here...its almost impossible to wrap my head around how eating under 800 calories per day can not result in the scale moving lower faster than it is for so many of us. Dare I say it...I'm almost beginning to think...why did I do this? Surgery was very difficult on me and took me a solid 5 weeks to recover from. OK rant over.

Even though today is a fasting holiday for me I need 3 small meals with 1/2 a protein shake to stay healthy. I'll be way below my calories but I'll make up for it tomorrow! Breakfast: Triple zero yogurt - 2.25 ounces, Whipped cottage cheese with cinnamon - 1 ounce Lunch : Yellowfin tuna - 2 ounces and 1 ounce sauteed mixed veggies (leftover from our anniversary dinner last night) Dinner: cooked shrimp and steamed green beans 78g protein, 28g carbs, 7g fat
