Hi,

I had the RNY surgery on June 23. I've lost 50lbs since then, but now I seem to be at a standstill. Is this normal, should I worry about it? I haven't lost any weight in over a week so I'm worried now. I do know my appetite is a little weird right now because I've been on antibiotics for a month.

It is common to encounter stalls during the weight loss phase. You are far enough along to drop off some of your Protein shakes at this stage provided you are concentrating on consuming high protein meals. Your daily protein requirement is met by a combination of the protein from meals combined with the protein from supplements (Protein Shakes, protein bars). Just add up your daily consumption and still remain within your required protein level. This will drop your daily calorie level down a notch and may kick start your continued weight loss.
