wow flab u less!! Im not an expert, but 300-400 calories doesn't seem like enough!! I would be falling over at that number. Are you loosing inches? I have noticed I haven't had these huge weight loss that some are experiencing, but my clothes are bigger and I have went from a size 20 to a size 16. I had my surgery on the 19th and I can still tell there are times that, for what ever reason, I'm retaining Water....my wedding ring is usually very loose and there are times when it is hard to get off. So some could be that.

I would suggest you eat a little more.....(not for sure about the starvation mode). But also It seems like you are trying to stick to a high protein/low carb diet which is what I am doing with good results, but my numbers are more like 800calories/60 protein/30 carbs I have lost about 26 pounds in 4 weeks. but we all are different.

But although yogurt and cottage cheese are good for you, they do have carbs.

Keep up the good work!! You are going to wake up one day and see that you have lost several pounds over night and wonder how that could have happened!! The body is a mysterious thing. Im proud of you for working to establish your routine that includes good eating habits and exercise. Thats half the battle.

I'm in agreement your body is in starvation mode you need lots of more calories especially from Protein.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
