Started couch to 5 k at four weeks, yoga at three months.

Start slowly and build as tolerated. Or wait and start later. Everyone's journey is different

Walking is good. Hill walking is better.

My rny was 5/15 so far I'm averaging 15 pounds a month

I started at 305lbs, lost 13lbs the 2nd month, 8 lbs the 3rd month.

Keep using all of us as sounding boards. Emotions can really mess with you. Getting them out here or in writing somewhere else will take the edge off and help you feel more in control.

I only lost 16 pounds in my first month after surgery . Is this a normal weight loss? I started at 201 pounds. I'm worried that this my slow down next month. I have not started exercise yet! I did start working again after 10 Days of Surgery its been a Struggle with lots of emotions. Just reaching out for advice. Thank you !

Like someone posted, you've lost 8% of your body weight, that's amazing. I'm only 5 weeks post-op and have lost 22.8lbs since surgery. When I compare myself to others I get discouraged but I have to remind myself daily to stop comparing myself!! It's a daily struggle. I didn't take measurements to start but did at 3.5 weeks. Also, for the first month I lived in lularoe skirts and dresses so it was even harder to tell if I'd made any progress. People were telling me not to focus on the scale but to concentrate on how my clothes fit and I didn't want to listen. However...I'm totally convinced now. In the last week I have tried on clothes that haven't fit in 3.5 years or more! So take it from a skeptic, focus on how your clothes fit and if you haven't taken any measurements, do it now
Addition - the surgery messes with your hormones and I too have been an emotional wreck some days. It does get easier. Just take it one day at a time!!

KKLIVE I had my surgery May 8 and I still feel that way and wonder when the "switch" will come and I can eat small portions of food where it tastes good. Everything has a sour taste, or is too sweet. Then I get a gagging type reflex off of yogurts and Protein Shakes as I can't stand one more. Today's lunch was 1/2 of refried Beans with some shredded cheese, a tablespoon of salsa, and a teaspoon of sour cream on top. I had a Protein Shake this am and that's all I've had all day. I dread thinking about the next meal as it will look good, but there is that weird taste. But I'm hanging in there and hoping to turn a corner soon! Hope you do the same.

Like the person above said, the lighter you are, the slower the weight loss. After all, slow and steady wins the race I hear. [emoji846]

I wouldn't rush it. Just let it do its thing.

I'm not a Hummus fan , but I sure love those avocados.

I was allowed avocado in the soft stage. I mashed it with hummus. So good!

I'm four weeks out and I find most Beans easy to eat. Cottage cheese is easy for me also. Denser stuff has been no go for me. Avocado and hummus with soft egg works for me also.

I'm 2 years post op and can eat most foods. The first few months you're healing and have to take eating solids slowly. Keep up the Protein Shakes to help you heal.

I am months out and I am still very limited as to what I can tolerate. However, being a size 8-10 is much better than a size 24 .Meals times has been a very difficult and emotional time for me I will not lie. I use to love to eat everything, now most foods taste horrible to me or I am unable to keep it down. We have to remember this is a work in progress. My entire life I have eaten when happy, sad, stressed, etc. Now I am unable to eat and have to find other ways to deal. Not easy. But loving they way I look.

I'm almost nine weeks out and love my food. You're still healing. I don't know how long it'll take but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to fully enjoy most foods down the road. Hang in there.

I went through the same thing plus I got an ulcer along the surgical incision. Yes you will.
But some things still bother my stomach after 9 months. meats like beef. Greasy stuff. Always eat slowly. I've eaten to fast and you get dumping syndrome which is a nightmare. Eat slowly. Your doctor will guide you. Follow it carefully.

I'm 4 weeks after Surgery and I feel like the only thing I can eat is yogurt , sugar free Popsicle's and a 1/2 cup of smoothy with Protein Powder. Am I ever going to get to enjoy food again? I know smaller portion size is the main problem why we get overweight, but I cant even eat anything!! I'm so emotional and feel I cant get enough calories in to even feel mentally normal. Any advice ??
