I’m in the same boat. I had RNY 3/16/18 and I’m only down 35lbs. I’m not sure what’s going on.

Surgery Weight- 235
Current-200

Thank you so much for the advice. Definitely gonna have to take wine away for a good lil minute

I snack a little and started back drinking wine. Maybe that’s what’s wrong but I eat the things the doctor told me, work out a lot, take my Vitamins, and get my B12 shot

How did u lose soooooo much in this time?? My surgery was March 16 and I was 235lbs. Today I am 204lbs. I work out 3 times a week. Not sure why it’s going so slow

I was told that also. However I’m 3 almost 4 months post op and haven’t had a hiccup. Not saying that it’s not possible but I use condoms and birth control. I’m about to just be celibate but that’s a whole bother conversation lol. If you are going to have sex just protect yourself all around.

I’m on birth control and I haven’t had an issue. I had sex a month after surgery and it was AWESOME!!!! Seriously the weight loss actually increased my sex drive (not that it wasn’t already high). I can do more than before. I did have a hiccup and didn’t use protection. But I did not get pregnant so I believe the pill is the same as it was before.

I’m in the same boat as you Matt. I’ve been at a standstill for about 2 weeks. I know my problem is not having enough Water. In the beginning I wasn’t feeling full and now I am so I can tell the difference. It’s been 3 months and I’m down 30lbs so it’s still a good amount

U will get tired of throwing up. Trust the process. That’s my opinion

Trust me it will work for u. I had my surgery March 16th and when I was finally cleared to eat solid food everything I ate came back up because I was trying to eat too much. U will get used to it. U will know that you’re full.

Thanks Matt!!! I really needed to hear that. My Water intake is def a problem so I know I need to work on that

I been trying to figure out the same thing. I had gastric bypass March 16th and my surgery weight was 235 and I have been 208 for the past week. Am I doing something wrong?

How long ago did you have your surgery? My program doesn’t have any restrictions on alcohol (which I don’t know that I agree with). Anyway, you do want to be careful - your new tummy is sensitive, you’ll feel tipsy or drunk a lot quicker, there are a lot of empty calories and (most disturbing to me) there are certain studies that have shown post WLS patients can have a higher tendency for alcohol dependence. Addiction runs in my extended family, so that is something I’m going to be careful and mindful of.
I’d give it at least a couple months and then start with something easier on the stomach. I don’t even know what that would be - red wine ?

One month out I had a few sips of wine when I went on vacation.. but I didn’t go overboard. I definitely felt the alcohol faster than usual... then I had my first full glass of prosecco at 4 months and felt tipsy but was sober in an hour...😂

I was told that would happen. I want a drink so bad but was a little scared to try it lol. Thanks for responding.

Sooooooooooooooooo when did you have your first drink after surgery?

I am having the exact same issues. Nothing will stay down and I am sick of mashed potatoes.

I made my egg casserole muffins. Made a variety with mixing up ingredients oh ham, cheese, onions, peppers , mushrooms, and spinach.
Did good with eating this slowly.

Maybe try a bit of salmon? I could do tuna and salmon on week 4 which helped with that "full" feeling as you always lead with your Protein. Scrambled eggs are also good for that fuller feeling.

Let us know how you tolerate them - just remember to go slow I made a mistake once with scrambled egg and a small bite of toast - apparently didn't chew it enough and couldn't eat another bite. It was not fun - just forgot for a moment to slow down and chew chew chew chew chew (like 29 times!)

Hey how are you doing ??

I'm doing pretty good. Back at work and feeling great. It's been 3 weeks today and i really really want some food with texture besides soft foods. Its a bit frustrating but I make it work. I'm just really ready to get back in the gym.

At three weeks I was allowed to add soft foods - scrambled egg (i could eat about 1/2 of it), Yogurt, Loose oatmeal, and loose mashed potatoes. It was nice to have something with texture after being on fluids for so long. What does your plan call for at 3 weeks?

I can do soft foods and slowly introduce some solids. really whatever my stomach can tolerate. I hate oatmeal but I've had grits and they are fine. I just want something and some meat. I feel as if I'm not really getting full or eating enough.

Today is my official 30 days post-op - I am down 36 pounds since the start of my journey, 26 pounds in the 30 days post-op. My BMI is now BELOW 40! (Okay, it's 39.9, but that's still below 40 )
I have increased my cardio, walking every single day at least 20-30 minutes at a brisk pace. I have added in other activities - bike riding, light weights, core work - and can really feel and see the difference in both my body and energy level.
I will be taking pictures over the next several months every 30 days and will put out a before/during/after collection once I have reached maintenance.
I hope everyone is doing well - looking forward to hearing your success stories as we walk this path together.

I enjoy reading all these topics. I am from Jackson, Tn. I am having the surgery in June. I am 56 years old, and have not decided which one to have yet? Any suggestions would be great! Good luck on your journey.

I was able to do well shakes, blended tuna and canned flaked chicken.... cottage cheese and scrambled eggs

I’m struggling trying to drink enough Water. I’m also starting to get worn out on these soft foods. Any idea of other soft foods I can have besides yogurt and mashed potatoes? What do you guys eat during the soft food/purée stage?
