Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

23 days out, 19 lbs since surgery... 36 total

300 calories is really low for a whole day. My program's minimum requirement is 75g. of protein and 800 calories. I'm not always able to get 800 calories but I'm over 600. My dietician said it's like a car...the more fuel you put in, the farther it can go.

Good for you.

I had surgery on July 9th & to date, I've only lost 24lbs since surgery, 37lbs pre surgery diet. i really feel like I should've lost a lot more. In the last two weeks, I've only lost like 2 lbs. it's so frustrating!! I drink decent amts of water & protein. I don't get it. I'm eating like 1/3 or 1/4 of the calories I did before surgery....?!? I'm on soft foods now & I also have to take nausea medicine with every meal, unless its liquid or i get so sick to my stomach. So weird! It's definitely taking a whole lot of adjusting to my new life style.

Everyone loses at a different rate and it is not uncommon for one to be in a stall around the 3rd week. Keep up what you are doing and eventually the pounds will show. What I am doing to try to prevent a stall is to constantly shake things up so my body does not get comfortable and routine. I am trying new recipes and diffe foods I am able to tolerate (5 weeks out). I am also changing up my excercise routine. Be patient.

I had surgery the same day and lost 12 pre op 18 post op. I too get frustrated at times because others have lost soo much more than me, but im committed to this new life style. Im sticking to the food plan and exercising, I know itll all work out and be worth it in the long run!! Stay focused and have faith we can do this! I totally agree though.. its a major ajustment.

Today I am 3 weeks out and I have lost a total of 22 lbs post op! I didn't think it was that much so I'm super thrilled and want to see if I can get into even more clothes I grew out of!

I have only lost 19 post op. I am sure I am not getting enough calories.

I was 3.5 weeks out at my last weigh in and lost 14 pounds since surgery. It's kind of disappointing since I lost 11pounds in the first 10 days. I'm hoping the weight loss picks back up after my body adjusts to the new normal. Also, I only just got cleared to return to the gym, and will be much more active once the school year starts and I am back to work. Hopefully it will be faster!

Finally broke my stall!! Lost 2 lbs over the weekend. So now I'm down 22 lbs since surgery. I wonder if it was because I slightly changed up my diet this weekend and ate foods that weren't exactly pureed. Also, put on a pair of sandals I bought right before surgery, and they are too big now! If it weren't for the ankle strap I would've walked right out of em. Wish that would happen with my jeans already! lol

Hi all I'm going to get very personal with this question. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. I may urinate three times a day and my first one of the day is dark yellow and when I have a bowel movement its like a small child use the bathroom. My question to everyone is in the beginning were you like this and should I be concern?

It.happens with me to..the dark urine..I really have to.drink lots of water.for it to be different

Dark urine could be sign of urinary tract infection, drink lots of water, possibly cranberry juice, if any burning, I'd call Dr.
