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!

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.

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.

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

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...

Congratulations!!

You're doing great! Congratulations! I'm at week 4 post OP and have only lost 13 lbs since the surgery.

I'm shocked that your surgeon can't get this under control for you! Maybe a second opinion from another bariatric surgeon? My GP admits that she has very little knowledge about bariatric issues and she sent me right back to my surgeon when things were going off of the rails with my band and sleeve.

Hi! I had surgery on 3/20. Sleeve to bypass revision. I have no trouble taking meds in pill form and am able to drink liquids comfortably. I see that lots of folks struggle with both. Does anyone have any insight as to why some of us are more restrictive than others?

Use a pillow to support your stomach...it works.

Terrific! Great job! My doc says that walking is very important to avoid blood clots! Today is my one week anniversary for bypass. I went back to work on Monday. I have a desk job so there's no strain on my abdomen.

I'm very happy to know that I'm not in this alone! Thank you for the validation!

I love Genpro unflavored protein powder. You can literally put it in ANYTHING and you can't tell. I add it to flavored water, coffee, any flavor of broth, yogurt, cottage cheese I could go on and on. It really opens up your flavor options!

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. My surgeon told me that is usually the incision where the 'hard work' was done. I had the same issue when I was sleeved. How is you weight loss going?
