Have an appt with a Bariatric Dietitian and she is coming to the house. Hopefully she can help me out with what I am doing wrong in that I haven't lost anything in 4 weeks and I am only 10 weeks post op.

Wow what a 2 hour eye opening experience Susan Peacock provided to me. My surgeon should have this dietitian on his staff. My Dr was saying I should have 41 grams of food protein only and no more liquid protein. He told me not to drink for 1/2 hour before and after and of course during a meal. He gave me no guide lines as to how many calories a day I should have nor the specific types of protein I should be eating. Susan said 100 to 125 grams of protein and to shoot for 500 calories a day. To have at least 1 or 2 protein liquids during the day and to stay away from the process stuff I was eating as the salt was way to high.. She told me fruits and some carbs were ok to have after the protein. I shouldn't drink 1/2 before meals but drinking after a meal was fine. I have about 2 weeks and 2 days before my 3rd month follow up. Hopefully these changes will make a difference in my weight loss and get me out of this stall. Susan even thinking of joining this site and getting in contact with the founder Alex Brecker. I think that is fantastic. So glad I called her.
