I do not remember the last time I was under 200 lbs. I am 3 weeks post op and 5 weeks of Opti Fast.

I have been stalled for a week.

What a feeling to reach my frst goal.

Thinner tastes good !!!

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. I am a little confused. After RNY gastric bypass surgery, the guidelines are to restrict meal intake to 2 ounces per meal and to supplement this with additional Protein in the form of Protein shakes/protein powders.

But you mentioned that you have been on Optifast for 5 weeks now. This [Optifast 800 Drink Shakes] does not appear to be a substitute for a Protein shake. The protein level 14 grams is too low and the product contains way too much sugar and corn Syrup. So if you want to maximize your weight loss during the short "Weight Loss" phase, I suggest you contact your nutritionist or surgeon and obtain a list of approved protein shakes/powders and find one that you can tolerate.

But James you know every surgeon and bariatric program are very different, that drove me nuts on here at first because one CANNOT compare their experience to that of others, the programs just vary too much
