Houston here! Surgery date was 7/21

Thanks I really needed to read this!, i also at 3 weeks hit a stall I've lost 28lbs and was happy and figured it was normal. went to my nutritionist and she freaked out because I had only lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. Total 30 lbs total in 3 weeks. Happy to know I'm not alone and this is normal.

Good morning....Okay is it just me or am I doing something wrong here....Here it is, I am 4 weeks post op and so far I have only lost 25lbs since my surgery...I know that if you don't get in your Proteins and all it can slow down your weight lost (understand that). I have been able to up my Protein intake now that I am on soft foods and all and now I can get protein in by other ways besides my Protein drinks and shakes....I am doing my exercise and all...so what gives...I am lost, seems like nothing that I am doing is working to jump start my weight lost again...If any one have any input...please help!!!

Ur not doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting. Just keep going! Good Luck

When I was fresh out of surgery and had trouble getting Protein in, I relied somewhat on the "New Whey" Protein Shots. They're 42 grams of Protein in a little over 4 ounces. Two words of caution about them though. First, 42 grams is too much protein in one sitting- your body simply can't process much more than 30 grams at a time and will just pass through the rest. If you choose to drink one, I would drink an ounce an hour. Another reason why I'd drink an ounce an hour is (to me) they taste awful regardless of the flavor they claimed to be. If I use them now, I'll try to psych myself into thinking it's a test tube shot from college...take a swig & have an immediate chaser of Crystal Light....wait an hour and repeat

February 16 woot woot

Thank you for your feedback!! I am so worried I am going to forget something and I live an hour and a half away from where I am having my surgery.

Melanie96 I also have a February 16 surgery date

Got my date! February 16th. I started liquid diet with the hope that I'd go on Feb 9th. Soooo... Should I keep going or eat solids? I feel like mentally, I'm in a good place and it makes me think that I should keep going.
