I am a little over 3.5 months out from surgery and thw amount I can eat at each meal varies considerable.
For example almost every morning I make myself 2 eggs with cheese and salsa, and 3 small sausage links. Some days I can eat it all, other days maybe only half.

The most I can eat is about a cup of food. I asked my NP and she said at my stage a cup is okay to eat if I can.
If I am eating foods with very dense protiens like chicken or beef, I can only eat about 3 oz and then maybe an oz or 2 of the vegetable I made.

Some days like today I have absolutely no appetite so in the entire day I have had 3 bites of food. (I just had kidney surgery so this scenario is not common)

I tend to eat between 800-1200 calories a day.
Under 60 carbs
Around 60 to 80 g of Protein ( I have been getting horribly kidney stones so I have to stay on the lower end of protien)
And I drink 50 to 80oz of liquids.

Gotcha.
I wish you a lot of luck with this. It's painful and challenging.
Wish you didn't have to deal with this. I hope you find a good balance that arrests the process.
Good luck and keep us posted!

If you have a genetic predisposition for Calcium oxalate stones, you should probably be considering increasing plant based sources of Protein in your diet, and cutting your protein down to the minimum required by your bariatric doctor.
I wouldn't wait 6 weeks. I'd call my bariatric doctor tomorrow and get in ASAP to talk about diet and Vitamin strategies.

I love these pizzas. They have enchiladas too. Every pay check I treat myself to 2 pizzas and 2 enchiladas.

You look amazing! Lots of us will always suffer from fat brain. I will probably always see myself as the 370lb girl I was at the start of this journey.

I'm not super young. I'm 27. I couldn't be happier with my bypass. I am 3 months out and 70lbs down.

This makes me feel better. I'm 3 months out and down 60. I thought I was losing too slowly.
I started at 370.
I'm 310 now.
Surgery was 11/21

I fly quite often usually once a month and I completely understand. I cannot wait for the day I do not need an extender. I do finally fit nicely in the seats where I don't need the arm rests up so I know it is just a matter of time.

Hello [emoji3] I had my first visit with the surgeon on 10/20/17 I was 370 lbs.
4 weeks later on 11/21/17 I went into Surgery after being on a 1 week liquid diet at 361 lbs.

Today I am 312 lbs so total loss of 58 lbs so far [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

I'm losing a lot slower now only 2-3 lbs per week but I am thankful everyday for my tool.

It's normal to be eating a little more. I'll be 3 months out on the 21st.
I can eat between 4 and 8 oz depending on the food type. Softer foods I can eat 8oz. Solid protien like any type of meat I can only do about 4 oz.

Hw 370
Sw 361
Cw 310
I'm down 60lbs but at a stall right now. It's frustrating but I know it's all part of the process.

Remember, no matter how slow you think you are losing. Progress is still progress.
Also, you can try dividing your weight loss. So you lost 20lbs a month average, 5lbs a week average. That is a great amount of loss.

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. Too bad there is not an easy fix for "fat brain"!

I have trouble with steak. I have to have it super tender and chew well. Other than that no issues with any food.
I'm 11 weeks out.
