Losing Weight Rapidly..nut Says I Need To Eat More!



Recommended Posts

I went in for my 3 month check up this week. Blood work was great! My doctor said that most patients have lost 20-30% of their excess body weight by this time. I have lost 55%!!!! My doctor did not seem concerned about that, but my NUT did. She said that I should be eating 3 small meals a day and one snack. I tried and tried to tell her that I just can't eat very much at all. She gave me sample meal plans, and there is NO WAY I can eat all that at once. I was eating small Protein enriched Snacks every two hours. She wants me to stop doing that because it can cause me to make a habit of "grazing." What is the problem with grazing if you can only eat an ounce or two of anything????

I'm so confused. Did anyone else lose this fast? I walked out feeling BAD for losing. :(

I think she needs to make up her mind if your meeting your calorie requirement and doing it with small frequent meals and losing who,to,say she right if your comfortable and doc is ok I think your doing great

I also am a little over 3 months out and have lost over half my excess. I am eating and drinking all the time its all I do it seems. I cannot imagine trying to get more food in. Your metabolism may just be working well for you with what you are eating. I would just keep doing what your doing if your doctor is not concerned about your health than your doing something right.

I eat multiple meals all day. They are more like Snacks and It's better for me if I eat them slowly. I do measure everything and log it into My Fitness Pal. Do whatever works for you. If your blood work is fine and you feel fine then what is the problem? Right?

Wow! I should be so lucky to lose 50% by 3 months! I agree with the others-if it's working for you-don't stop!

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

      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! 😞
