Finally hit over Protein for first time in 5 weeks. I’ve not lost any weight in over 10 days. I’m eating around 500/600 calories a day in total since 27th January . I’ve lost around 10kgs since surgery should I be worried x

Congrats on hitting your protein! It can really be a challenge. As far as your weight loss timetable!is concerned, have you talked to your surgeon about it? Everyone loses weight a different rate. I know there are general averages, but your doc would be best able to help you out on this.

My surgery was on the 16th Jan, I have not been losing quickly either, only lost 8kg since surgery. I also had a long time with no loss at all.

I spoke to my surgeon at one month, he wasn't worried, he said it's quite OK to lose slowly, in fact it's good. He said it is because my body has been triggered into starvation survival mode, I know I am retaining Water.

Very frustrating for us slow losers I know, but quite ok, we have to learn to trust the process, so long as you're getting your Protein and water as priority.

I did get things moving again by eating more, pushed my intake to over 900 cals a day for a few days and this did work for me.

I now eat around 800 cals a day, and slow and steady loss of about 1 kg a week for the last few weeks.

Things to look at might be bowel movements? Maybe try eating more, Good luck and let us know how you go!

May or may not be TMI but I have been experiencing a lot of diarrhea and tonight is my first time since surgery I have had sex and now I’m experiencing light headedness and feel nauseous. Has anyone ever experienced this ? My surgery date was 1/13

That's exciting! I have a few weeks to go until my 3 month follow-up, but like you, I'm anxious to hear what my surgeon says. I started losing weight right after the first of the year during the pre-op diet, had my bypass January 30, and have lost a total of 41 lbs. so far. It's been quite a journey!
