I am just about seven weeks post op RNY… Started at 232 and now only down to 208… I am feeling discouraged and depressed as I would've expected to lose more by now. I average about 500 to 600 cal per day, with 60 to 70 g of protein. I have not lost any weight in the last four days. Not sure what to do here…☹️

@Sajijoma wow! That is great progress! How long did it take you to reach under 200? I started at 540 and my surgiversary is 5/29. I am now 290 pounds and can't wait to get under 200! I know everyone is different but I was just curious!

I was at or near 200 at 15 months out. It's been a slow few months because I have been recovering from a torn rotator cuff and couldn't do much. The further out you get the slower the weight loss goes. It still goes, just very VERY slow.

Thank you. I have considered the fact that I might need more calories but I am not sure how to fit it in! On my drive to work, I have a Protein Shake. Around nine I have some yogurt. The lunch time I have some sliced turkey and around three I have a piece of cheese. And then for dinner I have some lean Protein (no more than 2 ounces) Not sure I can get any more than that....also I'm not sure what else to eat, I've been pretty much stuck on yogurt cottage cheese lunch meat and tuna.

I have a glass of high protein skim milk in place of one of my glasses of water. Bumps me up a hundred calories.
