A few bites



Recommended Posts

I am six weeks post op and can only eat about 6 bites before it is too much. All I really eat is Protein because it's so hard to measure protein when you don't eat full portions. I am still doing gene pro and a Protein shake to make sure I reach my goal but is this normal? I have been stalled for 2 1/2 weeks but that is ok I didn't want to loose to fast. I am down 21 lbs since surgery and happy with that.

We are so similar! I am 6 1/2 weeks out! Usually do a premier shake for lunch and GENEPRO mixed with something for Breakfast ( yuck) ... Yes- I only eat 4-6 bites. And I have also been stalled for about 4 weeks! ( well one pound last time I weighed - which was two weeks ago) total weight lost last time I weighed was 25 ( including pre op diet ) - wow! So similar

That is crazy!! What was your starting weight? (My hw 243, sw 231, cw 210) When they did my swallow test after surgery I was told I was slow to empty, I don't know if that's why I get full so fast or if that changes over time. Good luck to you!!

I'm also at six weeks, and I still have a lot of restriction. Everyone is different, but I look at this as a good thing. I focus on my Protein and supplement with shakes as well. One question: What kind of Protein are you eating? If it's chicken, beef, pork or other dense protein, you naturally won't be able to eat much of it, because your pyloric valve (at the bottom of the stomach) closes to allow for pre-digestion in the stomach. If you eat things like cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, or even soft white fish, you will be able to eat more.

I am down 25 lbs and just went into a stall this week - I can tell because weight loss has been slowing and finally this week, it has just stopped.

I'm going to work on getting as much protein and Water in as I can, but like you, it's still difficult (even with liquids).

Good luck and let us know when your stall breaks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
