RNY 6-10-15. SW 266. Cw 228. Down 38. I too am having trouble with non-pureed meat. Just can't handle more than an ounce or so at a meal. I like my Peanut Butter on graham crackers. I still struggle with getting enough Protein and fluids. Some days are better than others. I'll have a Protein Shake or sf hot cocoa with protein powder at night if I'm really short for the day.

Hey everyone on this post. Looks like most of us in this post had their surgery in June! Congrats everyone. Mine was the 29th. I'm feeling frustrated. Im still measuring out my foods, not cheating at all, exercise 5 days a week. 45 min treadmill and 15 on bike. 2 of those days add some weights. But that scale is so slow moving. I started 272 and only down to 255. 22 lbs. Everyone says "watch the weight fall off". Sick of it! Its not falling off! I ts seems so hard. Almost just like every other attempt. Except I can't overeat. Any words of advise from those of you its falling off of! I sure could use it!!!

I'm with you! I'm getting a bit discouraged. My scale said 2 lbs higher than last week's weigh in. I know we fluctuate through the week, it's just frustrating don't get me wrong, I see a difference from a couple months ago, but I thought it would be a little faster... eating really good, working out alot, I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(

Hey there. Whenever I have dieted in the past and get on a plateau I eat something a little carby (don't judge) to throw my body back into diet mode. Don't get me wrong, no sugar or anything but maybe a potato or something. Or go back to Protein Shakes for a day. Just a thought.

I really hate to say this but I only eservice twice a week but I'm pretty active at work 5 days a week. Maybe with all the exercise you are gaining some muscle which weights more. Have you tried measuring to see if u are losing inches? I haven't but all my clothes are getting too big. I did have a bit of a stall about 4-5 weeks out. Just my two cents :-)

The main thing that helped me get over my plateaus is Protein. I have a strict exercise schedule of 3 days a week for 2 hrs at the gym. You don't want to over-due it. Let your body have time to recover.

I had surgery almost 10 months ago, October 14, 2014. I hit my goal weight this weekend August 1,2015 (darn ticker won't update)

As far as exercise, I have always just walked. Once I could walk more I did. then after I was much closer to goal I started running. I put most my focus on diet and the weight just came off. Protein first ALWAYS, and keep up on hydration. Once the eating and hydration is good, bump up the exercise but don't go too crazy, you will have plenty of time for that ;-)

This is an encouraging thread. Loss is slower than I thought also. About 25 pounds since surgery June 16, 15. Never gone over 700 cal, or 75 carbs. I do need to step up the exercise though.

Thanks everybody.

I had surgery on 3/12/15. Went from a size 30 to a size 24. Down 80 pounds so far. Had lots of complications but I don't regret surgery. It's changed my life!

what kind of complications did you have?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
