5 weeks post op

[☁️9⃣B???? 55]

I m 5 weeks post op.... How and exactly do you guys eat?

I m eating my fish and chicken and milk .... Can't say exactly how much Protein is going in, must be 70gm for sure... Are you guys eating any fruits? I have my banana ????in the morning and since summers are here, I have started eating watermelon ????. I can get a lot more watermelon in like around 300gm or so, I feel I m worried it appears more for 1 sitting. And I eat every 1 hour.

So far I have lost 22 pounds, and I lost 16 pounds post surgery. Started my walking since 5 days now, I do 40mins on the treadmill, around 5k steps. I wish it would melt faster.

Quick question, if I up my working out, is it like the body gets use to the working and the weight won't come off easy??!!!?!?!

Many times fat turns to muscle so the scale will not differentiate between the two. Another thing is the more we need to lose the faster it comes off. Maybe go back to the start, in other words right after surgery. The way we eat and drink immediately after surgery really puts a limit. I know that I have to set a 30 min timer so I know that I am drinking enough fluids and having enough Proteins. Hope this helps some.

How's everybody holding up?

Holding up well and you?

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow although it feels like it has been much longer. I have lost 67lbs. My food intake seems to have increased the last week or so. I'm at a full cup of food. I also seem to need a small snack some days. On those days I really like the Quest Protein bars or one of the Oscar Mayer "P3" packs. I just make sure to log everything in MyFitnessPal.
