It seems like its taking forever. I totally expected to lose much faster than I have. Im trying to b realistic and have patience but its hard.

We just have to keep persevering.

@@slareau I just had my 6 week check in with my doc (6 weeks on Monday) and he said it's normal to be anywhere from 500-800 cals a day and between 40-55g of Protein a day. He and my nutritionist both agree that Protein from food is where its at and not to worry about shakes or drinks anymore. It's also unrealistic to give a goal of 60g a day when we're eating so few calories.

Breakfast - fage plain greek yogurt; 1oz of flaxseed and a tsp of honey

lunch - 4oz of salmon and some sauteed spinach

dinner - homemade meatball, sashimi, salmon, tilapia, sweet potato mash

snack - string cheese but my doc recommended a slide of roast beef or turkey or any deli meat instead

Nutritionist recommended snacking on Peanut Butter, a 1/4 green apple or cucumber to help with acid.

Hi. I'm almost 4weeks out. Had surgery 10/29/14. Highest weight 305, surgery weight 297, current weight 273.6. I had no problems post-op, no pain. I only had gas the day of my surgery. I'm frustrated because since surgery I've only lost 11#. This is day 3 on soft/puréed foods. I seem to tolerate the foods well, just not much at a time. For the last week I've been feeling really tired. And I'm constipated,lol

@@ladybug, have you had your 4 wk check up yet? Try Phillips milk of magnesia for the Constipation. You may be in a stall already. You did lose almost 30 pounds, your body has to adjust. I know how you feel, ive lost about 24 pounds and im 7 wks out tomorrow. Hang in there :-)

Thank you @@rmspencer for the info

@"peekaboo" I had my two week checkup already. I don't go back for 3 months. I did try MOM. It worked, a little too well lol! I think part of my problem is Water retention. Before surgery I was on lasix, but they took me off it because it might cause dehydration.

[Peekboo 472]

Ladybug, I think I retain Fluid too but haven't been on any meds for it. So I guess you lost a couple pounds after MOM :-)
