I am 3 months postop as of last Friday. My starting weight was 196, currently at 160, that is total loss from before preop diet. I basically lost 15 pounds the first month, 10 the second and 5 the third. Is that normal?

Today on MFP I have had 611 calories, 57 carbs, 22 sugar and 59 protein.

Is that about what I need to be getting daily? What changes should I be making? I do take my vitamins and I have been trying to get my protein without shakes but today I did have one. Should I be trying to stop the shakes and bars?

I had surgery in MX and do not have a NUT. I am starting to lose my hair but not to bad yet. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm not a NUT, but looking at your numbers, my suggestion would be to lower your carb intake, and up your protein by 30 grams or so. I get a monthly B12 shot and take biotin, it seems to help with the hair loss, and gives me energy. I wouldn't give up drinking the protein shakes, maybe, use them for between meals. The lower BMI'S seem to lose a slower. Your doing well!

Lower the carbs a little bit and up your Protein. Please remember the less you weight the less you will lose per month and you will need to definitely up whatever routine you are doing.

You are doing great though. Congrats!

Im scheduled for surgery Monday and I hope I don't loose slow. I am 210 5'1 I am just going to eat nothing until I get down to 120lbs
