One month post op!

[Lulu_RNY 80]

I'm officially one month post op! Yaaay! For my first month I've had a total weight loss of 33 pounds sonce surgery....but I've had a stall for about 2 weeks idk what's going on? The scale is REFUSING to move!!! Is this normal? Will I eventually go back to losing the weight? Also I was wondering if anyone had any food recommendations upon being one month post op? Thank you!

It's normal. Your body is just trying to adjust to all the changes being forced upon it. Make sure you are getting in your 64 oz of Fluid and getting close or meeting your Protein goal each day.

The three most important elements after 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.

Weight loss is achieved after surgery through meal 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.
