My stomach / face is the first place I always lose. Thighs and arms are the slowest to show. Everyone’s body type is different!

Same happened to me. I dropped 17 lbs in he first twelve days then stalled for a week and actually gained three. Now down 5 in four days.

This looks amazing!

I’ve been stalled for about 5 days. I’m only 17 days post op. Not worried though I lost 17 lbs in those first 12 days so I’m just sticking to plan, focusing on protein and fluids, and being patient

I’m stalled right now too but I’m two weeks out. Have you been exercising? Walking? Drinking enough?

I got to about 499 calories today. That was adding some cheese to every meal.

The hair loss is a result of the rapid weight loss. The protein helps a bit but unless you’re losing really slow it’s inevitable.

Are you not on puréed yets? My doctor cleared me For puréed diet at one week. I drink one shake a day split up over three meals. I can do more than 4 oz of liquid at a time.

Definitely not getting enough protein. My NUT did tell me not to stress about that until 8 weeks post op though. I get like 25g of protein on a good day.

Me!!!! I seriously forget and my vitamin requires three times a day ?

I’m 12 days post op. Should I be worrying about calorie intake yet? I’m averaging about 200 calories a day and physically cannot manage more. Should I be concerned? Do I not need to worry yet?

His comments were definitely sexist but the intent behind them - that your lifting routine (high weights low reps) is for building big muscles isn’t wrong. He could have went about explaining it a different way. He’s also not wrong that cardio is of vital importance as well. When I slack on my cardio and only focus on weights I stall big time.

Labrada is my favorite - pricier than premier though. Also bigger bottles so post-op they last an extra meal.

Caffeine is acidic. When your stomach is healing you shouldn’t be adding anything to increase the. Acidity, heartburn, etc...

My NUT told me not to even attempt the 900-1200 until about 9 months. Before that she said it’s hard if I’m eating the right foods. My plan has a lot of restrictions long term though.
