November 8 RNY surgery after having a lap band and gallbladder removed. It will be 1 month post op and I feel I'm doing good, although I have problems with all the vitamins/ minerals, B12, B complex etc and getting enough Protein in each day. I have not had any sugars, high fat foods or carbs since before surgery. I need to get back into all the Protein I need to continue feeling successful. How much weight lose is good in one months time ?

I had a bypass surgery on 8th November, I think that lost weight is base on each individual on the first month I lost 39% of my goal weight but now am in a stall. For your Protein problem I highly recommend you GENEPRO the stuff is great you can mix it with anything cold or hot even your regular meals one scoop is 30g so it is easy for me to get my Protein intake with the help of the supplement. They sale it at GNC look for reviews if you want to make sure before you expend the money because is a little pricy

I found it at a GNC and last month they have buy one get one half off so I got two. But you are right not all GNC have them you can also buy it online but just be careful because someone told me that she other one once and it wasn't the real thing.

I found it. Two GNCs near me had it. One said they didn't have it but called me back and said they had it. The other one had one left so I ran up and bought it. I had one tell me GNC doesn't carry it. I am trying it now. It has a slight taste and it turned my apple juice and Water a milky color.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
