Im on week three going into week four. What's everyones daily intake. I found early on that Protein Shakes were making me sick so I don't drink to many ive pretty much been eating cheese or deli turkey and recently find turkey balls with a all natural,marinana or tuna salad about ask i eat and very small quantities of them but I have only lost 3 lbs this wk so I feel I'm either over eating or I'm not eating the right things to continue my loss any insight would be great!!! Thank you guys!!!!!

Typically there is a stall after the first couple of weeks. You should be following what your Dr. or your Nutritionist is recommending for food intake. For me I was on liquids for 2 weeks, purees for 2 weeks and then mushies for 2 weeks. This gives your stomach time to heal and your body to properly adjust to the change in diet. Right now I am at 800 calories, and for the last 3 weeks I've lost exactly 3 pounds. That's not that unusual. My nut. thinks that I should eat around every 2 hours, and that is tough for me. I don't get hungry and just forget to eat.

You probably are in starvation mode, meaning your body is holding on to the fat for dear life. You won't lose as much weight that way. There are things you can do, up the Protein, Water and cardio. Lower the carbs. Carbs are easy to grab but act like a brick wall when it comes to lousing weight. Right now, I eat a lot of cottage cheese, humus, yogurt. Most meats work if they are chopped really fine. I drink the ready to drink Protein Shakes, not the powdered ones. I could live on Premiers.

      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! 😞
