The way I see it too is that it gives my body a chance to keep up. [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry, I meant 10 lbs per month... I average 2 or so lbs per week. Sorry about that! [emoji32] Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a question then, not cookies, but rather about carbs. What about lentils and fruit? My dietitian says that without carbs, we'll crash. So I avoid breads and pastas and stick to beans, lentils, vegetables and fruit. I'm not losing crazy weight, but I'm still losing 10 lbs a week. More manageable loss I guess.

Amazing job on losing over 56 lbs in such a short time! You're doing very well! Congratulations! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

My goal is to hit at least 60 g of protein in a day (aiming for 80 - 90 g). I look for low volume, low calorie sources. I'm 5 weeks post-op, and I'm going to start adding back my strength training to my cardio, as well, increasing my cardio. To manage my food, I bought about 30 100 & 118 ml containers with lids. I put all my food for the day in these containers for work. I'm averaging 800 - 900 calories a day, where 40% of those calories are protein. My focus is on protein and fibre. I keep track of it in MyFitnessPal too. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a question for you all, how many calories do you eat in a day, and what's your protein intake? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the RNY. The first week was painful, but I found walking helped relieve the pain. Slow walking. But don't go crazy... You're not in a marathon. But I think that my walking helped me heal faster. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in my 4th week post-op, I'm already walking about 5 km per day, I'm eating all real foods and getting my 70 + g of protein in a day, without protein supplements. The foods I'm eating are eggs, beans, tuna, milk, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken, beef, frozen spinach (heated), frozen berries (heated), mashed potatoes (white and sweet), squash of all kinds, peeled apples (can't wait to have an apple with the peel!), I seem to be able to eat just about anything. Before surgery, I got in really good shape. I did 60 minutes of cardio per day (walking around 7 - 10 km per day, stationary bike 16 km per day, and 30 minutes of strength training 6 days a week (alternating upper body and lower body). I lost 75 lbs before surgery. Since surgery, I've only lost 5 lbs, but my clothes are getting looser all the time. Anyway, other than not being able to eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a time, or having to sip my water rather than guzzling it, I don't feel any different than before surgery. I feel great!
