2lb per week is pretty average from what I can tell. I was 310 lb on the day of my surgery on 1st March 2018 (38 weeks ago) and I have lost on average 3.17lb per week. With my best week (surgery week) being (6.4lb) and my worst being (0.3) (about 5 weeks ago). Everyone looses at different rates, I think the important thing is your trend. If you are loosing constantly thats what you really want. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get to your goal.

Congratulations! Indeed you should feel great for your accomplishment thus far! Close your eyes and truly enjoy the happiness. Way to go! [emoji106]

You may want to take at least a week as you will have a drainage bulb on your surgical site. It is a little disgusting to deal with outside of your home. If you can work from home all the better. I was off four days (Friday and the weekend) then worked from home for a week. Very little pain besides the gas bubble in my shoulder area. Good luck.

Oh no I understand, im eating relatively high fat is what I mean for example my total daily caloric intake is around 800cal atm but im getting around 70-80g protein and im just wondering if anyone has percentages of how they split their carbs and fats thereafter. My first goal is to.acheive the protein target and goal 2 is to stick to my calorie target I just want to know how to split my carbs and fats. Im using myfitnesspal and.it asks you for your targets thats why im curious to hear what other people set.

Rachietach, my bypass was Dec 10 also. How are you feeling??

Congratulations. 😉😀☺️😎💥💃

Gas pain. Heating pad, gas X and walk, walk, walk it off! Hope you feel better!

I was 12/3 and so far so good I feel great actually and I’m on purées until next Tuesday

I'm over 2 years out and still don't feel physical hunger. I fasted for 5 days once to test it and never felt a single hunger pang. Some people just get lucky with their surgery and experience greatly diminished appetite compared to most.

I'm 9 months out. I'm usually 800-1000 calories/day. But I'm one of the lucky ones, i don't have real hunger, just cravings. I don't eat more when I work out. Her comment that she only counts calories is worrisome. She really needs to track her protein intake as well as vitamins and minerals.
