3 Month Post-Op and feel good,but slow losing

[A New KK 104]

I'm almost 6 weeks out and having problems with both the Water and Protein still. My nutritionist wants me to do 60-80 grams Protein a day. I've started doing 1 Protein shake a day to help with the liquids. I find that a lot of times what I feel is hunger is really thirst. Why not try a beverage next time you're hungry. Congrats on the weight loss.

Besides upping your Fluid intake a bit, sounds like you are doing great to me!

Well, I went and talked with my Dr and She said my Calories are ok but keep it around 1000 if exercising.

You were all right- my fluids were way to low, and they almost had to put me on a drip :-(

I'm now between 60-80 oz per day, and cals around 1000. I'm working out 5-6 days per week and

I hope to lose 10 lbs in Jan! Thanks for all the replies and advise!

I have to agree with everyone else...more Fluid intake. My surgeon told me at my last appointment that not getting recommended fluid intake daily can inhibit weight loss by 3-7%. After he told me that, I made sure to get my Water in. Good luck!
