Hey guys i haven't been on here in a long time. I tend to read all the stories just never post due to my work schedule. I need advice. I have stalled in my weight loss journey. My surgery was 06/07/16 So far I have loss 124. I feel like I could eat more food then before and I'm hungry all the time. Has anyone taken diet pills? I had the gastric bypass.

How many calories are you consuming each day? Carbs? Protein? How much Water are you drinking each day? What are you doing for exercise? Are you tracking your food and drink each day?

Hey. Water I take about 1.5 liters a day. Protein about 30 gram carbs and calories I stop tracking. Exercise I try to work out every day for 30 min mostly cardio. If you have a better way I'm open for suggestions please.

Your protein is really low. I've never heard any plan that calls for less than 60 grams per day. (Although there was a poster yesterday who said her doctor gave her a goal of 30 grams per day. I find that suspect, but that's what she said.)

I'd recommend that you begin tracking your food and drink. Without doing that, you really have no idea what you are taking in each day. I'd also recommend making an appointment with your nutritionist so that you can work together to determine how many calories and carbs you should be taking in based upon your current body state. (You didn't give any specifics here, so it is hard to give any advice around calories, etc.)

I'd also up your water by 0.5 L or so.

Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful. Good luck!

Definitely speak with a nutritionist. You're over a year out. Your bodies needs have changed. Best to seek out experts advice. That said....I think you should really be tracking your intake. A year out calorie intake is really important.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
