I lost 13.6 pounds the first month after WLS and 9.7 the second. Is this abnormally low? I feel depressed when I see how much others have lost in the first few months. I meet my Protein and Water goals each day (80g Protein and 64 oz water). I walk 30 minutes a day. My average caloric intake is 791. My surgery was RNY. I would really appreciate some feedback.

I use the lemon chews. You have to take two instead of one but since they taste just like lemon drops that's not a problem.

I used one box for hospital/first month. I did find them helpful.

I have three concerns I would appreciate some advice on:
1. What should you do after a "food stuck" episode? I had my first experience with getting food stuck today. I had two ounces of leftover cheese and ham omelet for Breakfast and then an hour later took my calcium citrate chewys. (I use the lemon so have to take two). I have been cleared for all foods and had eaten this before with no problems. I immediately was in a lot of pain and began vomiting and frothing. After each episode I would feel better for about 15 minutes, get a severe pain and then vomit again. After about six hours I feel better but am afraid to eat anything even though I am hungry. Should I stick to liquids for a while? If so how long?
2. I'm two days away from being six weeks out and have only lost 14 pounds since surgery. I have gone from a 40 BMI to a 38 BMI. I have met my Protein goal of 80 grams per day and Water of 64 oz per day since two days after surgery. I take all my Vitamins. I know I need to exercise more but do take a 30 minute walk each day. I average 750 calories per day. This weight loss seems very low compared to what I read on the forum. It comes out to less than 6% of my surgery weight for the first 6 weeks. Should I be concerned?
3. How long after you eat can you eat again if you still feel hungry? I have actually felt very little restriction and often feel hungry after my 2 oz portion of food.
I have made an appointment with my clinic but can't get in for several weeks so would really appreciate any advice!

Too early to worry?

Unfortunately, at 3 months out I seldom feel full. I do measure everything and I will say that even though I often feel like I could eat more, ten minutes later I'm not thinking about food.
