Escape_Pod 358 Posted March 3, 2014 Having lost over 50 pounds pre-op, you're going to lose at a slower rate post-op. Also, if you're eating too much sugar or carby foods, be aware that your body retains more Water if your carb intake is higher - it needs the extra hydration to be able to digest those foods, which is why you see a big drop when you start low-carbing - your body's dropping that extra Water weight. Is your surgeon satisfied with your progress? Are you following his/her plan? As far as getting back on track goes, I can sympathize, I've been there myself. There's no magic wand, you just have to mentally commit to a few days of struggle, and go back to basics - mostly Protein, and some veggies. Focus on dense Protein (chicken or other solid meats, not yogurt and cottage cheese) - they'll fill you up faster and keep you full longer. Avoid Protein Bars, especially while you get back on track. You can do this! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtodd1205 44 Posted March 3, 2014 Surgeon seems pleased so far. I go back in april for my 6month post op. Hoping for a dramatic change in the scale atleast 10lbs. I guess its time to pack away the scale.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
