We seem to be having the same struggles. Water Protein exercise. My hope and reality is that it will get better. We are at the beginning of a great life change Congrats to everyone on your weight loss. May we never find them again!

How is everyone doing?? I am struggling to get my calories in Protein so so, Water not all the time. Not down as much as I want but I'm working on getting ok with that. My clothes are loose but I sure don't want to spend money on clothes that at way too big. Already down a size so I'm good . Just checking on you in this journey of ours. Have a good weekend and holiday

Thanks Bufflehead and Beaglelover. Dietician said maybe one shake per day. I like your outline but worried because of he quantity or rather lack of it I can eat. I don't want to be a grazer but moving in that direction. She told me minimum calories is 600 so striving for that. hair loss trying not to stress but thanks. I really appreciate the advice. Job is stress ing me out too so it magnifies my other concerns .

I'm seven weeks postop how in the world do you manage to get all your Protein and calories in when I can barely manage to eat maybe 1-2 ounces at a time ? Greek yogurt I can eat 3.5 oz with a break in between. Nut said back off Protein shakes which I may have one or two per day. meat still an issue but worried about carbs in Beans. I eat string cheese, can tolerate Ostrim meat sticks only, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, 1/2 oz deli meat - low sodium turkey breast, laughing cow wedges. I'm too full to think about veggies or fruit. Getting Vitamins in most days, was doing good on Water but my job just went nuts and I'm all over the place. Now getting a cold so feel really crappy. Stopped exercising due to low calorie intake...will I still lose? Don't want my hair to fall out either. I've shunned the scale for now but clothes are really loose already down a size. Help! ???? I've been so busy lately it is a blur

I have PCOS too . I was told we have massive hormonal shifts after surgery and to expect fluctuations. My first period after surgery was a nightmare and not looking forward to the rest. Talk to your GYN or Surgeon.

Right there with you. No idea I guess body is just freaked out.

The scale hit 300lbs. My whole body ached Felt like my knees would collapse The plus sized clothing I wear was getting tighter and tighter Sex was getting really uncomfortable Harder to,take care of my personal needs Always hot and sweaty Rashes in skin folds, irritated skin I could go on and on It was time to look out for myself and stop the madness

I'm so glad I ran across this topic. What great info. I'm only 6 days post op but learning everyday.

Awesome!!! Congratulations what an accomplishment

That should have been pre-op diet

So I didn't get a chance to call my doctor or the dietitian but I've been craving pickles juice or Olive juice I drink some last night and it gave me really bad diarrhea . Of course I'm still craving it and realize that the sodium shift really wasn't good but at least I'm not constipated anymore
