I sent a few days (below) to my dietitian, she gave me a thumbs up on the food but I am still not loosing. I go in for another fill on Monday, maybe I am just still eating too much? What do you guys think?

It doesn't look like you're eating too much, but what you're eating is very different from what my doctor recommends.

I know they all have their own protocols, but mine recommends postponing the addition of potatoes/starchy veggies/breads until at least 75% of excess weight is lost.

His patients do seem to have a higher rate of loss and achieve greater losses than the average.

I'm not suggesting that you dismiss what your doctor and nutritionist have told you, but maybe a little tweaking and substitution--at least short-term--would get you off your plateau :thumbup:

Hi Betsy, thanks for the input! You are the only one who answered me. I know many docs say do no carbs or low carbs but my doc is all about eating NORMALLY. Anything you want in moderation focusing first on Protein, then veggies then fruits & carbs. I need to do better with veggies....I send my doc my food diary and the dietitian and I email a lot.

My plateu is over I think! I am at 196 now and super happy!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

Today:

Breakfast: 50g 220cal shake

Snack: Yogurt 15g protein 90 cal

Lunch: 2oz chicken breast

Snack: Stick of string cheese 60cal

Dinner: Will be turkey meat loaf & broccoli

What I am eating today for lunch is tortilla chicken from Bandtastic Meals. I carry one of their pre-done meals every day for lunch. They are quick, easy and I dont have to worry about other people in the office asking weird questions about my new eating habitats.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
