I'm a little bit less than you are and I am taking lovenox shots because I had blood clots before and at that time I was 400 pounds...the shots work just fine they just need the right dosage

I found that softer foods such as chili and Soups went down much easier than harder foods such as chicken and steak. So I relied primarily on these. Sorry to hear about your blood clots. I have provided some recipes for chili and soups at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Here is an article:

Last thing.. they do make blood thinners that don't care about your diet. You could discuss that option with your doc.

you lost the "easiest" weight on your own, and then some, before the surgery. if you hadn't done that, your initial post-op loss rate would be much higher.
but you did everything right and still losing almost 20lbs/month. you're right on track.
if you're struggling to stay under 900cal, i would suggest eating more solid Proteins like meat. avoid Soups as they clear quickly, leaving you hungry again soon after eating them.

I am 3 1/2 months post op, Gastric Bypass

Heaviest: 575 pounds

Day of surgery 489

Current: 444 pounds

My surgeon asked me to try and lose 50 pounds before surgery. I beat that by a good amount. Weight loss seems slower since surgery. I developed blood clots after surgery and went back to the hospital. Now on coumadin and that limits my salad eating as I have to watch my intake of Vitamin K. I am having some trouble staying under the 900 calories per day as required by my nutritionist. Working on finding new foods. Would welcome any suggestions on foods that are high in Proteins, low in carbs, and low in calories.
