I'm almost 7 weeks and talked with my bariatric nurse coordinator today. She said I should still be eating about 2.5 ounces per meal 3 times daily plus 64 oz of Water. She encouraged me to measure everything and add extra Protein powder as I can- I was concerned about some reactions to food I've been having. I know I've been eating too fast and not getting enough Fluid and some days not enough protein. I'm happy with my weight loss- 28 lbs since the start. So I'm starting over making sure I follow the drs instructions to the t.

Your weight loss seems good I think- 37 lbs and we are about the same time out.

Thanks y'all! That's helpful! I have not been measuring my meals.. that is something I am going to try and start doing! Thanks for the tips! I need to just stay away from the scale for a few days!

Hey,

I'm now 6 weeks post op vsg and I keep hitting stalls.

HW: 238

Day of vsg: 228

CW: 204

I lost 19 lbs in the first two weeks. After that, I hit a stall for about a week and a half. I then lost another 5 lbs (slowly) and have been in another stall for the last week. Did this happen to anyone else? How do you restart the weight loss?

I also feel like I can fit a lot more food when I eat. At first I was eating very small portions; now I'm able to eat a lot more at one sitting. Is it possible to stretch out the pouch already?

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Mallory

Does anyone know when you can have "cloud bread"? I am 4 weeks post op.
