Hi! I am 3 months out and only 30 lbs down. I need help in what I should eat. I've been eating what I serve my toddler. About same amount However I do skip meals. I feel very discouraged. I do walk and exercise regularly but I'm so worried that I can't do this.

I feel like people that know I got the surgery are constantly watching me and just sizing me up wondering why I'm not losing. I'm just having a hard time and need to reset and help.

Wow, you have lost 10 lbs per month! That's great! Here is a little reality check, people are more interested in themselves and seldom pay attention to what others are doing. And if they are paying attention and criticizing you, then kick um to the curb and move on because they are not a loving part of your life. You will lose more weight and have less loose skin to boot! It will happen, just give it time.

Now it may be time you start eating adult food though. Like lean meats and lots of other Protein based foods. Try to avoid sugars and carbs for a while. You should be at a stage where you can eat regular food now. I eat a lot of chicken, fish, pork and beef. I will then eat a little bit of veggies if i have room. The baby food you have been eating may have too much sugar and is also processed. I try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible.

Hope this helps. :)

thats one of the reasons i chose not to tell many people. I think i was a little paranoid though - "eww, everyone is watching me", much of that was my imagination

30 lbs down in 3 months - hold head up high :)

sounds like you are eating small amounts - no grazing, right??? drinking plenty of Water, not drinking with meals, no drinking again after meals for about an hour - or whatever NUT says

give your NUT a call asking for advise and help

exercising, walking, small amounts your eating - sounds like things are going well, maybe you need to tweak your food a bit, go get that help

good luck

      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! 😞
