Thank you! That was very helpful .I am 39 yes old 5ft 6in I was 305 pounds before my 2 week pre op diet on September 15th day of surgery I weighed 294 now today I am 240 on a goal of 180 I work out 4 times a week but have no physical food restrictions I watch what I eat and do try to get enough protein. I am so proud of my progress but get discouraged at times as I don't really see the results yet . My stomach size has not changed. But arms legs face have . I am approaching the 6 month mark and am just worried that I won't lose anymore after that date. Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all ! Just curious what portion size you are able to or are supposed to take in 3 months post op. I luckily not so luckily am able to tolerate everything and want to make sure I am measuring the right amts so not to over do it. I have lost 30 pounds since surgery date 9/15 if I should have lost more by now . Right after I k ow ot was 2 tabs of food per meal but that is not enough to satisfy me anymore .

Hi all! Wondering wondering if anyone else has gone through this. I had surgery in September on the 15th I lost 20 lb immediately the first two weeks now I'm on week 7 and have not lost any more weight still just the 20 lb from the first two weeks. I am getting enough protein but am having a hard time not getting in too many carbs with it too I don't like protein shakes and I am lucky enough that nothing I've tried so far has irritated my stomach so I can eat anything. I stay away from greasy and high fatty foods and pop and sugar. But I am still getting around 700 to 1200 calories per day I walk like 30 minutes per day if not more. But I am not losing anything. I am so nervous or should I say worried that because I can eat anything I won't be losing any more weight any ideas from any of you? Anyone else have this long of a stall this soon after surgery ?

Well I had rny surgery and I read that it is norm to loose 5 to 15 lbs per week the first few months following surgery , so that is where my expectations came from . I am glad about losing 20 lbs but in the big scale of things was feeling discouraged since the 20 lbs was really only lost the first 2 and a half weeks then I have been stalled since not loosing anything in the last week and a half , basically since I started eating instead of drinking liquid only. Pre op diet start was 9/1 weight was 305 surgery date was 9/15 weight 294 and today 275. But again the 275 has been the same for 2 weeks now. I'm getting less then 1000 calories a day and walking a bit but not much as I have plantar fasciitis and am in pain . I fear that I won't loose the weight unless I go back to starving myself like I did the first 2 weeks after surgery. Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and starting to feel a little discouraged. I can't do the puree so I start eating real foods . Just small portions small bites and chew chew chew . Which is working great and I finally have energy again . The problem is I have only lost 20 lbs since my surgery and I feel like I should have lost more by now. I am not able to get in the protien I k ow I need so I'm worried I am failing. Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes constipated , but then again haven't eaten anything in a week so .... nothing there to get out . I am not getting the protien shakes down . I can try a heating pad just not sure why it keeps happening or what it means or how long before it's supposed to go away . Or what's normal and what's Not.

Hi all ! I had the rouex n Y done on 9/15. Never took anything for pain just Tylenol. But I am having pai. On my left side ,which yes I know can be gas from the lapriscopic surgery. It I am passing gas regularly and am still having the uncomfortableness right where my left ribcage is. I am day 8 post op today and I'm just worried it's not gas , it's a leak or something. Dont get me wrong its not a contant pain there are some positions where i can get comfortable. Bit the more i walk or move the worse the pain gets rhen its hard ro take a deep breathe without it getting worse. What do you think I should do? Did anyone else go through this ? Everything I've read says the co2 leaves the body within 48 hours w inch is why am so concerned [emoji45]. Thank you ! Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello! 1 day to go on clear then full liquids starting tomorrow. Just curious which soups were your favorites or some tasty ideas. Mine is brocolli cheddar ,but I'm not sure that would be approved . Did any of you try brocolli cheddar soup on week 2 post op ? Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

Me again . 5 days out now since rny surgery. My taste Buds have changed so much since the 2 week liquid hell a d now this week I am really struggling everything is so sweet on this clear liquid diet I can't take it anymore. I can't deal with the taste of brothe or the clear liquid soups either. I'm am considering chewing some meat tonight and spitting it out just to get the flavors. Did anyone else feel this way or do this ? Chew n spit ? Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you . Was thinking that too . But just don't understand why it's on my left side only and when I eat/ drink or stand . Seems to be fine when I sit still Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

I totally feel ya !. I am only 4 days post op and already having some regrets . I too did this for my family and myself of course , I have Littles that I want to be more active with and go on vacation without asking for a seat belt extension on the plane . But prior I lived to eat and loved who I was and was not ashamed of my size , don't like it don't care attitude. Now eating 2 spoons of fluid and being in constant fear of getting a leak , or passing out from not getting enough calories in . I'm looking forward to the day I can eat again , more than reaching my goal weight. Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app

4 days post op today . Haven't taken any meds other than Tylenol. I am having pain under my rib cage and shoulder when I sit straight up or stand . Anyone else get this . I'm scared it's a leak but I don't have any of the other symptoms. Sent from my SM-G991B using BariatricPal mobile app
