Good luck!

I had the same setback. Im 13 weeks post op and down 81 lbs but xmas was rough. i didnt change my portions but i did breakdown and ate crappy. nothing crazy but still not good. I didnt gain but haven't lost anything this week. I spoke to my nutritionist and they suggested going on liquid for a day or two just to flush and get back to the good habits we have worked so hard to get. 60 lbs is great just refocus and put it behind you, that's all we can do. Keep up the good work! New life, new world!

Thanks for the advice and well wishes! Congrats on the awesome work!

Hello finding time for anything is hard. Sounds like you're doing well . As far as finding time for exercise im in the same boat. keep up the work and good luck!

Ah your post is showing now. So what I was told by my dr was if I was having trouble getting it in was to go back to my liquid diet for a couple days and basically flush my system and start over. Have you tried the isopure? It was too expensive for me but It has a lot of protien in a small amount of fluid. The unflavored powder is still a milk product so make sure you mix it with something you're going to tolerate or enjoy. You can do this just give your self a do over and start new. Good luck! I would say no to the veggies til you have a full grasp on the protien.

My Dr. Had me on protien shakes and soft foods at 4 weeks. The soft foods being cottage cheese, sugar free pudding with protien powder mixed in, fat free refried beans, fat free string cheese, and sugar free jello. The main rule even when you get to solid foods at six weeks should be protien first. At ten weeks I just started to mix in some veggies. But was still told protien first . Before now I I was still eating 1 to 2 oz every other hour. Now I can eat three oz at most . You can buy unflavored protien powder and mix with skim or 1% milk a couple berries and some pb2, makes a decent protien shake. I hope I answered some of your questions. Had to go off memory, for some reason I can't see your post. Good luck! Glad to answer any questions I can.

I'm getting my water in but not drinking while eating has been very hard for me. I'm adjusting though.

That's great! The only thing I've had problems with was a piece of lean pork I cooked that was too dry. That didnt go well. I never thought I could be so disciplined but I follow my nutritionists diet pretty much to the letter. I'm down 70lbs. As of yesterday. It has really helped that my wife started to follow the diet once I went on solid foods. Do you find it hard to get all your water in?

I'm 10 weeks post op, I was looking to see how others in my shoes are doing?

Good luck ! It's the best thing I've ever done!
