5 weeks post op and I am down 21.6 pounds. I know everyone loses at different rates but I just thought I would have lost more by this point. I'm still very happy with the 21 pounds though. My clothes are fitting more comfortably and I can almost go down a size. I'm eating right around 60-70g Protein . Around 600 calories/day and I'm trying to get 64oz Fluid but sometimes I have difficulty reaching that. Can you tell me your experience at 5 weeks??

Im also 5 weeks post op and have lost 20 lb, I was also a bit discouraged until my husband reminded me I lost 19 lb in 2 weeks with my pre op diet, so 39 lb in 7 weeks is pretty good. I had a 2 and a half week stall then I lost 5 lb this week so I'm glad the stall has broken. Everyone's weight loss is different so I guess we shouldn't really compare but should focus on the long term goal to be healthy. Good luck on your journey ssbthodge x

      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! 😞
