Pounds lost
Thank you so very much for posting this!!! I went into surgery 4 months ago at 234 lbs. I've lost 35 lbs and have been beating myself up for not losing more. According to this chart I am exactly where I should be! Thanks again!

GenePro powdered, unflavored protein is wonderful for anyone who struggles with getting their protein requirement. I put it in my morning coffee and that gives me 30 grams right off the bat. The 30 gram scoop is much smaller than other whey proteins that I've used and it is 100% undetectable! I've put it in soups, casseroles, sugar free pudding...you name it!

March Bypass Buddies
I just wrapped up week 7 post OP yesterday and have only lost 23 lbs. 234 on surgery day and 211.2 today. I've been really adherent to my eating plan. My only struggle is drinking the 64 oz of water. I usually end up somewhere in the 40+oz range.

Carbohydrate intake
My doc says 20 to 25 NET carbs per day max.with our small stomachs and if were eating our protein first this is absolutely doable. I'm able to stay within range pretty easily following the plan

Pounds lost
I'm in the same boat. 5 weeks out from bypass and only down 15 lbs. I've followed the plan. My stall started at week two and was so frustrating.

How long before you went back to work?
I had gastric bypass on a Wednesday and was back in the office on Monday. I was a little bit tired but other than that no issues.

Totally normal! If you are following your plan and it comes right back off it's just water. Women are prone to these fluctuations due to our cycle, hormones etc...

No weight loss
I lost one more pound ..so in the past 2 weeks I've lost ONE pound. I cried at the doctors office, how embarrassing. My surgeon said that patients with revisions have a tendency to not lose as much as quickly as first time bariatric surgery patients. Our bodies are somewhat used to a lower calorie intake from the previous surgeries and it takes some time for our metabolism to kick back in. I hope that's the case.

Anyone get a March date yet?
Hi! I'm eating about 300 to 500 calories per day. My protein goal is a minimum of 65 grams. I'm on soft foods like cottage cheese, string cheese and yogurt. I use GenePro protein powder in my coffee in the AM OR I'll have a protein shake. No fruits or veggies until Wed. Starting week 4 I can have soft veggies and fruits. Doc wants me to drink 64 oz. Of water per day but I'm only able to get in the 40s most days. I have my one month follow up tomorrow. I'm anxious to hear what the doctor says about the stall. I need to break this thing...lol

When I was sleeved I experienced dumping by eating cream of mushroom soup. I was in a restaurant and it was terrible. I tried eating tomato soup the other day and experienced nausea..no more cream soups for me.
