[Darlene55 1]

I lost 33lbs in 3 weeks. Still on liquids and loosing only a couple pounds a week. Is this normal? I have a lot of dumping, especially around different food smells.

that normal for your weight to slow down. Then you will start losing more weight as the months goes by your body reach a stage that goes through a phase then it starts back up again. It happen to me dont forget your Protein.< /p>

I can drink about 20oz a day. But if my schedule gets thrown off I might drink.only 16ox. So, Protein is the answer? Should I start working out? Thanks for the positive feedback. How long has it been for you?

Yes, you can also buy the Protein Drinks that you can put in the Water, Peanut Butter. I started walking when I was 4 four weeks started of with 15min, then 20min until you feel comfortable enough or if you have a tredmill at home or at a park. I'm 2 mo post-op lost 50lbs dont forget your Vitamin B 12.< /p>

I just had my 2 week post op and the nurse said that my weight loss wod slow down if I dont get in the right amount of Proteins carbs and Fluid. She said we have to have those numbers minimally for our bodies to lose the weight. I have to get a minimum of 60oz of Protein, 64oz fluid (this includes the protein) and 30oz of carbs.

You drink 60oz of Protein a day, wow! What type of carbs? Guess I'm asking a lot of questions, because my surgery was medically necessary, so

I saw the dietician once. Please tell me how to take all that in a day, and the carbs I need. I'm lost. Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you

I have a chart where I keep track daily and it's pretty much drinking 2oz every 15 minutes. I just started the puréed stage but really the main way I get the Protein is with Protein shakes. I drink the brand called Pure Protein. It has 35g of protein in 12oz and I try to have 2 of those a day. I got vanilla cream and then add sugar free Torani Syrup to change up the flavors. I dilute juice or use diet juice and G2 for carbs. I lost 16lbs in the first 10 days so the nurse said if I keep up with the protein, carbs and fluids it'll keep coming off.

All that drinking, when do you eat something? I can drink all day, but then I forget to eat. But I'm going to have to change my routine. Do you ever feel bloated? Then what do you do?

[Jeepchick42 193]

You should be drinking more i think. The human body needs 32oz a day to survive. To stay hydrated it needs double that. Can you make another nutritionist appt? It doesn't seem like you received alot of education from your drs. And they should be telling you how to do all this. They are the doctors and every one of them is different.

33 lbs in 3 weeks is huge but yes, it will slow down. You have to have Water and Protein for your metabolism to keep going. It's up to your surgeon when you can start working out and how intense he wants you exercising. Also, you can't dump off smells....they may make you sick or upset your stomach but it's not dumping. Dumping in caused by either carbohydrate or fat intake but you have to actually consume them.....

Good luck!!!!

I just eat at normal times thing I'm drinking the rest of the time. I haven't really felt bloated but I get full from the Protein shakes for sure.

So you eat 3 meals a day? Can you drink Water with Protein or do you wait 30 minutes? I really appreciate your help. I feel a lot better. Thank you!
