Ok friends, I'm at week 11 and have only lost 23 pounds. It's extremely difficult to get into the nutritionist at our program. I was supposed to have a 3 month check up with her but it will be February before I can get in to see her. I eat anywhere from 600-900 calories a day. I always get my protein, (mostly from drinks) and I get my water. I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio at least 2 days a week and I do a 30 minute routine of free weights 2/3 times a week.

Any guesses as to what I'm doing wrong. I do not eat carbs hardly at all. I don't have any issues swallowing and no food has seemed to bother me so far, I've tried everything but steak and fried stuff. Over Christmas I did eat a few pieces of fudge and a few cookies (no dumping) but after Christmas I haven't eaten any sweets.

Immediately after surgery, your body does not need very much food. This is because it is converting fat cells into the energy your body needs to function. 600-900 calories per day sounds good. The important thing after a gastric bypass surgery is Vitamin, Protein and liquid requirements. It sounds like you are meeting your protein, liquid and exercise requirements. What about Vitamins? They need to be spaced out during the day.

One of the other factors that can limit weight loss is the effects of medicine. Are you taking any medication that can impact weight loss?
