hi everyone!! I am coming up to my 1 year post op, but i haven’t lost all the weight my dr said i should’ve lost. i’m starting to get worried. is this normal? i have about 50lbs more to lose (i’ve lost 120 already) yet im stuck at 195, and im working out, eating fairly healthy, but i do tend to lack on protein. is this something someone else struggled with??

I updated it! Thanks for reminding me. I also hit about half of what I’m supposed to and sometimes less with the water. It is VERY hard!!

I lost insane amount of hair around this time! it lasted from month 4 to around month 7! i was scared i was going to lose all my hair! but of course i didn’t and it has grown back tremendously! i made sure to not put any heat or braid it during this time to make sure i wasn’t losing any more. it will grow back and eventually stop!

I also would like to add that I am TERRIBLE at hitting my water goal. I struggle so bad with this.

So i had surgery about 23 days ago, and as of Monday of last week, I was able to start my soft food diet. Everything was going extremely well and nothing hurt my stomach or didn’t agree with me. Up until maybe 3-4 days ago, every single thing I take a bite of or eat, I get extremely disgusted and repulsed by it. It could be foods that I have eaten in the past week that agreed with me and i loved, or even new foods. I take about 1-2 bites and I cannot continue because of how grossed out I get. I still make sure to drink my water, my protein shakes and take my vitamins but it does make it a lot more challenging to hit my daily protein goal. Is this something that would be considered normal at this stage? Has anybody else experienced this and have any advice on what to do?

Okay! Thank you!!! I was just nervous I was doing something wrong or something had happened!

I had the gastric bypass surgery

Hi! I am 6 days post-op from the gastric bypass. I lost 14lbs so far which is super exciting since I can’t remember the last time I had lost this much weight. I am now drinking protein shakes and water but i am honestly struggling with that. I can’t seem to drink enough water or protein a day. It’s just that I get so incredibly full and I can’t seem to stomach anything more. I’m not pushing myself and i’m listening to my body but I don’t want to become dehydrated. Does anybody have any suggestions with how to drink more water and protein? Anything and everything helps!
