magda2931 1 Posted May 18, 2015 I just entered my 6 months post op and so far I've only dropped 32 lbs. is this normal? I haven't lost anymore weight and I'm so discouraged. I stated out at 212 and am now 180. Any advice..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YourFriendJess 34 Posted May 18, 2015 Congrats on the weight loss thus far!! A few questions for you: All meals should be rich in Protein. Are you meeting at least the minimum Protein requirement that your doctor and nutritionist have recommended? Are you tracking everything that you eat throughout the day? What about your fluids? Are you drinking mostly Water or are you drinking calorie laden drinks? Are you exercising daily or most days of the week? And lastly have you spoken with the surgeon or nutritionist about your concerns? I'm sure there are others that can further help you as I am just 4 months post op. Best of luck to you!

samuelsmom 670 Posted May 18, 2015 You're 32 pounds lighter so that's a good thing! You also started at a much lower weight than many people here. I also think the above suggestion is great also. I would recommend following it and keeping your chin up. You have made strides towards a healthier you and that's worth celebrating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kempermorris 144 Posted May 23, 2015 My guess is you're cheating on your diet & not exercising. You need Protein & lots of Water. Don't go back to old eating habits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
