Welp. Today I drank 26oz in 30 minutes, which was apparently a grave error... as it came out the other end 10 min later without warning. So, yes, I can drink now... But apparently I need to pace myself. lol. Ughhhh.

As far as Protein, I am just following my handbook exactly and not specifically counting. They said not to worry about meeting protein goals for several weeks and to just follow the book. I am probably 2/3 of the way there anyways with what they have me eating.

I had a mini mental breakdown last night over Taco Bell. The ex moved out yesterday and it was contentious and now I am totally alone, but started reading Never Binge Again during said breakdown, and it made me feel a lot better.

Just wanted to update. This morning I woke up and just filled up a giant Slurpee cup from the tap with hot Water. It's been an hour and I've had 39 ounces!! I had my first meal and it was filling for once!

You seriously never appreciate the power of what water can do when you're drinking 100 oz a day... until you suddenly drop to... 10 a day. Feeling much better already.

Thanks for the advice. Coupled with the encouragement from the dietitian that I haven't ruined my entire plane of existence, I feel a bit better. lol.

I am the most impatient person in the world. I told my friend this morning that I'll be the first person ever to not lose weight from gastric bypass and that medical science will have failed me. lol. Can I just wake up and be down 40lbs already? Yep. It's going to be a looonnngg road for me. lol

Can we just start a thread for us November bypassers? Mine is November 1st! Please feel free to spill your guts over your fears and excitements! I'd love to have the support knowing we're doing this together, even if we are physically far away.
I have 150lbs to lose and I am anxious to see those pounds go! My goal is to reach my goal weight within 24 months. I know it can happen much sooner than that, but I want to give myself a far out goal-date so I don't get too upset if it doesn't come off as fast as I hope. I hope to spend my 32nd birthday at 140lbs! My birthday is November 24th, so this is the best 30th birthday present I could give myself.

Easier said than done! lol! I was just curious as to each person's patterns. I know it varies. My friend who had the sleeve is like... girl... don't even weigh yourself until at least a month or two. And my surgeon doesn't care until 1 month, either. But I'm still curious!

Hey all. I am 8 days out and lost 12lbs the first 4 days, nothing the last 3, and gained a pound this morning. I've lost 12lbs in a week before on low carb diets. When do you really start noticing it drop, typically? Like when in your process did you think "hey, it's actually working?"

It will dramatically be affected by the type of surgery that you had. In my case I has gastric bypass and the weight loss was very dramatic. In the case of sleeve patients, their weight loss is at a much slower pace and they encounter many stalls.
The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.
Weight loss is achieved after surgery through meal volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein Shakes.
So just follow the directions from your surgeon and nutritionist and do not worry. At 8 days post-op, you are still in the healing stage.

A month out I was losing 2 pounds a day. 25 pounds the first month.
