You said in your previous post "the brown sugar one", if you're getting the instant flavored oatmeals they are higher in sugar and sodium. You can try using the old fashioned oatmeal and making overnight oats or something if convenience is a factor.

Do you think eating oatmeal is a good idea? Or is that too much carb? I mean it’s good carbs right

This may be your set weight. The predicted goal is not always achieved. Not saying you can't or won't get there but it may be a monumental struggle, be prepared to work like crazy.

I was told no Gatorade into after surgery but only a certain Gatorade and it had to be diluted with Water.

Isn't gatorade high in sugars?

I agree with SillyKitty with the back-to-basics liquid diet for a few weeks. Also, if you're not losing with 1,200 calories, you're going to have to go lower. If it were me, I'd try 800 calories a day - and make sure you're honest with yourself about those calorie counts.

What is that calorie count?

Unfortunately your metabolism may have slowed and 1200 is around you BMR, and that's why you're not losing.
I have no experience with this, since I'm in my honeymoon loss phase right now. But I'd start over. Do a couple of weeks of liquid diet, and then move on to Protein rich foods. You'll need to find where the scale starts moving again.

So true. No matter what, you can't violate the laws of thermodynamics. If calories in is less than calories used, she'll lose weight.

Do you log your food? You lose weight in the kitchen, not in the gym, the saying goes....

My surgeon had the gastric sleeve surgery. He gives all of his patients his personal cell number so you can text him with any questions, any time of the day or night. He knows exactly what I am going through, having experienced it himself. This is why I chose him and I was not disappointed.

You're paying her to provide supervised nutrition counseling not to endorse your decision to have bariatric surgery. I'm not sure why it matters whether she's for or against it.

Nice in theory but unsustainable in practice. If everybody followed that advice, we'd run out of surgeons. It's like everyone else should be your guinea pig...

Hi! liquid-only Pre-Op diet royally sucks. I was already on it, but then my surgery was rescheduled, so I got a weeks reprieve but had to restart again. One week down, one week to go, but it feels like I haven't had a bite to eat in a year. I'll persevere though!
I have to stay under 10g of fat and under 30g of carbs. I'm living off 3 Protein Shakes a day and sugar free jello/popsicles. If you can actually eat real food on your diet, I enjoy you.

Hi!

I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.
