What was your early weight loss like?
New&Improved replied to WhatATool:-)'s topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was kinda obsessed with my weight loss and was weighing daily; I was losing weight everyday it was crazy the first month but I assume it was a ton of fluid loss. I lost like 20lbs in the first 2 weeks and by one month I was down 38lbs; the first 3 months was insane and I lost all my excess weight by 8 months. -

How many carbs in post-op diet?
New&Improved replied to BigSue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ketosis is very good for weight loss so I don't know why your nutritionist would say not... I personally limited my carbs as much as I could that's just how I felt was best option for me and it worked I lost weight really quickly; I always kept my protein high even up to 100gram a day.. I was always told low carbs high protein is best.. I'm now in maintenance though and I do eat more carbs now but in weight loss mode I didn't eat hardly any.. -
