Feeling Lost...

Had mine 9/27. Realize everybody goes by what they've been given by their doc & nutrition and it seems to have broad variation on here as you said. I say take it slow when advancing and when in doubt contact your medical team. Best of luck - it'll get easier with time I hear

There are many forms of weight loss surgery and as a result the diet plans will vary quite a bit on this board. Also the surgeons recommendations will vary quite a bit also. But the most important elements for those that have RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight. So meeting those three elements should be the primary focus.

Weight loss is achieved after surgery through volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your Protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein shakes.
