Am four weeks out of my gastric bypass. I was 250 and now I'm 227. I'm in the third stage but even with my shakes I'm not getting in more than 500 calories a day. Is something wrong with me? Why does it seem like everyone else has lost way more than me at 4 weeks?

My doctor told me my body is holding on to the fat because I'm not getting enough calories and my body thinks I'm starving. So I'm going up from 300 to 700 calories a day. But I'm finding it difficult. I don't know what I should eat. I've increased my calories but the weight is not coming off. I need to be sure everything I eat is healthy. I drink 2 premeir protein shakes a day. Then maybe a slice raisin bread in the morning. And at night to meet my calorie requirement I've been eating cup I noodles, tacos, and chimmicungas. I know they arnt good foods but I meet my protein and calorie requirements. So I'm thinking I need to measure the fat calories in foods. How many fat calories are healthy?

I'm having tummy troubles an I'm searching for recipes because I'm tired of eating the same old things. My doc won't let me eat fruits or veggies because of the gas they produce and the sugars in fruits. I can't find gastic bypass recipes without them. Also meats are kinda heavy for me but if I have no fruits no veggies and no meat, I feel like I'm just on the all mushy diet. So idk. Anyone have ideas for soups I can ground up and lighter meats. Things you had success with?

I can hold about three ounces of food. I wait about two minutes between bites.

Thanks! I'll try some seafood!

I'm 1 month out and I'm under 500 cal a day. I'm about 50 protein grams a day. My diet is a protein shake. Maybe an egg a quarter cup of cottage cheese and a thin slice of lunch meat and cheese. And that would be a very full day. But someone on this site told me under 500 is bad but I was not told that by my doc as long as I keep my protein up.

I am 4 weeks post op and my mother is 10 years out. She has never had dumping syndrome but I took one sip of gatorade the other day and the 20gs of sugar hurt me so bad I couldn't stand up until I vomitted. Will I out grow this? When I'm a year out will I still be dumping? I just want to be able to look forward to a future when I can have one lollipop.

I'm 22 and 4 weeks out. Good for you. Can't believe you lost over 100 pounds pre op! That's amazing! I'm craving like mad! I'm watching a lot of cooking shows an cooking for my family a lot even though I can't eat the meals. But losing the weight is worth it and I'm super looking forward to getting a new wardrobe.
