Im on week three going into week four. What's everyones daily intake. I found early on that Protein Shakes were making me sick so I don't drink to many ive pretty much been eating cheese or deli turkey and recently find turkey balls with a all natural,marinana or tuna salad about ask i eat and very small quantities of them but I have only lost 3 lbs this wk so I feel I'm either over eating or I'm not eating the right things to continue my loss any insight would be great!!! Thank you guys!!!!!

Typically there is a stall after the first couple of weeks. You should be following what your Dr. or your Nutritionist is recommending for food intake. For me I was on liquids for 2 weeks, purees for 2 weeks and then mushies for 2 weeks. This gives your stomach time to heal and your body to properly adjust to the change in diet. Right now I am at 800 calories, and for the last 3 weeks I've lost exactly 3 pounds. That's not that unusual. My nut. thinks that I should eat around every 2 hours, and that is tough for me. I don't get hungry and just forget to eat.

You probably are in starvation mode, meaning your body is holding on to the fat for dear life. You won't lose as much weight that way. There are things you can do, up the Protein, Water and cardio. Lower the carbs. Carbs are easy to grab but act like a brick wall when it comes to lousing weight. Right now, I eat a lot of cottage cheese, humus, yogurt. Most meats work if they are chopped really fine. I drink the ready to drink Protein Shakes, not the powdered ones. I could live on Premiers.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
