Hello everyone, this is my first time on here and I was just looking for some imput from people who understand my situation. I had my gastric bypass surgery on September 7th 2016, so I am 5 weeks post op. I am so thirsty can't seem to get enough to drink I just want to chug Water even though I can't. I drink about 3 16 Oz bottles of water a day and still thirsty. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, as I said I'm 5 weeks out and have only lost 35LBS, I feel I should be losing more and even last week I gained half a pound. I eat about 300 calories a day. what am I doing wrong...

You are not doing anything wrong and trust me that is a significant weight loss for the time post op.

You have to remember, your body needs time to breathe in between all the changes. Keep following your plan and if you are thirsty keep on sipping that Water and Protein shakes. they will only help you in the end.

Be patient. The weight did not come on in a month or two and it wont come off that way either. It took me 18 months to lose 152 and i feel like that was so fast that it still did not give my brain and body time to catch up.

Dont be in a hurry.....just follow the plan and you will be good to go!

Thank you that makes me feel a lot better

35 lbs in five weeks is phenomenal, actually....that's on the extreme high end of the range
