Between the oatmeal, the flatbread, and the tortilla I think it sounds like you're having a lot of carbs for one month out.

That's a lot of food I can only hold down

1 pudding

1cheese

6 oz of broth

At *1 month* out? Where's your Protein? I'm a little over 3 weeks out, I can eat 2oz portions at a time. Today I had 2oz of salmon and two 8oz Premier Protein shakes (because I was on the run all day, otherwise I would have tried to get more real food in). Yesterday I had 2oz cottage cheese for lunch and 2oz tuna for dinner with a shake for Breakfast and a smoothie for an evening snack.< /p>

For who me ?

If so I talked to my doc and nutritionist about it and I sip on Protein Water Isopure too

I was actually responding to the OP.

But, for you, keep working at it. It is so critical that you get in enough Protein.< /p>

Today I am 5 weeks out.

Breakfast: Protein Shake after workout

Lunch: Low Carb Crab Cake ( I made a recipe) they are 3oz each before being cooked

Snack: Crab cake or 2oz of Turkey

Dinner: Swai Fillet 3oz

After Dinner/Evening Walk: Protein shake

I can barely get that amount of protein in at a time. I do not eat all of it all the time.

I really think you need to drop that bread and carbs one month out, you are not getting enough protein in, and with those carbs you are going to have a hard time losing weight.

At one month out I could eat 5 oz of steak or chicken or pork with a small salad or some other veggies. I think the carbs in your deal are really high.

I don't snack - I have Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I try to have 25-30 grams of Protein for each meal minimum. Depends on what I eat.

I am 4 months out and am eating about 2.5 oz of food at a time at the most. At one month, I was doing about 1.5 oz. I do 3 meals per day, 1 Protein shake per day and 1 - 2 small Protein Snacks per day. I cut out almost all carbs though. I find that they fill you up very fast and don't give you any of the protein that you need. Focus on lean meats, cheese, nuts, and Protein Bars.

I am 2 weeks out today and seriously wondered if the doctor had even removed anything during surgery! I had absolutely no pain, no gas and it seems that I can eat/drink quite a bit. Haven't had a problem with Water either. Maybe that will slow down when I'm move to the soft foods next week?

Uh, yes! liquid goes through. When you eat something with just a little weight to it, you will be shocked!

      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... :(
