Recommended Posts

I need to nip this in the bud am I doing something wrong????

I'm getting in at least 60 g of Protein a day staying with the soft foods staying away from high carbs only eating protein first not drinking any liquids with my meal the only thing I'm not doing is exercising today will be my first walk.

Increase Water intake and you said yourself today was your first walk. exercise helps. Have patience this is a new beginning for you and you are doing great. Hang in there .If you have any more question just ask hope I was helpful . I'm almost 3mo. post-op I call my dietician with questions I have that's what they are there for.

Google "three week stall." Everyone goes through it. My advice is to stay off of the scale for at least the first month post-op. Your body is desperately trying to heal, and weight loss isn't the top priority.

And get used to stalls. I have found that I am in a stall more often than a period of loss post-op. It's just part of the process.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
