Use myfitness pal and log all your shakes and food. Also use a good whey isolate like Unjury or premier protein is descent. Add unflavored protein powder to your mushy foods. You are only 1 week post op...You are doing great! FYI, hair loss doesn't usually start until about 6 months post op. It's temporary hair loss!! Congrats and Best wishes!

I started with a low bmi. Low BMIs usually have slower weight loss. You have less weight to lose so take it slow. I figured out early on that carbs are not my friend. Make sure to keep carbs super low and eat high protein, and some healthy fats. Water, water, water is your friend.

Recently there was a report that Jennifer Hudson had WLS and did not lose weight from the Weight Watchers program. Apparently weight watchers has file suit against JH.

Before 6/14 & After 10/14

Heat liquid below 140 degrees use a wire wisk to mix in the protein after well mixed then reheat to desired temp. This works for me when using unjury, I have not tried this techn with other brands.

Congrats!! You are doing great! Stay off the scale and focus on getting in fluids and protein. Your body is still getting use to the changes but no worries in a few the weight will begin to decline. Your calories for now are good as you progress to the next stages your calorie in take will increase.

At 4 days post op is hard if not impossible for some to get 80g of protein. Focus on liquids...try adding protein powder to warm liquids like broth, bullion cubes, diet hot chocolate this is my faborite. Add protein to diet juice if you want. Premier Protein ready made shakes are excellent in the beginning stages and each shake has 30g of protein so you can do 3 a day and get 90g. Protein shakes count as part of your total daily fluids. I drank 1 oz every 15 min of liquids at your stage. By end of day you will have all required liquids and protein.

How many weeks post op are you?

Talk with you NUT about Genepro because my NUT and a dietician says it's not good protein that you really only get about 10g of protein. The rest is amino acids. I no longer use Genepro.

If he is a friend, chat with him about your concerns. I would asked him if he has discussed with his surgeon the serverity of his acid reflux and issues associated with the sleeve. He may not be aware of the issues.

After you mix it at 140 degrees, reheat it for the desired temperature.

FYI, for those having difficulty getting in protein because of the taste, try using Diet Hot Chocolate and add a scoop of unflavored whey isolate protein powder. The one I use is Unjury. It's warm, easy on the stomach, and taste great. Can't even tell the protein is in it.

I also had surgery for health reasons and I began with a low BMI. I too am 5' 4" goal weight 125. I am 3 months post op and 25 lbs from my goal weight. It's going to be a great journey! Best wishes!

You already have a low BMI so weight loss will most likely be at a slower rate than if you had a much higher BMI. If you follow Dr orders and work the plan you will more likely meet your goal weight at about 6 months post op. Don't worry about slow weight loss, for low bmi that is probably best.

I stalled around 4th week. I logged everything I ate and realized I was eating too many carbs. Keep carbs low, protein high and eat some healthy fats. Low carbs keeps the body in ketosis which entices the body to burn fat. Drink plenty of fluids and walk walk walk or exercise. Mix up your daily routine including calories, if you keep it the same the body gets comfortable and tends to plateau or stall.
