I think you're doing great! I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't speak from experience. I hope I do as we'll as you're doing!
Make sure you are not drinking water with your food because it pushes it down too fast. a pound a day seems good to me, 3 mos 30 pounds, 12 mos 120 pounds OH YEAH!! Tell you doc when you see him/her your concerns and see if that was their expectation. How much weight do you want to lose? Remember you lose about 60% of that and the rest is on you. Hang in, be grateful you did not suffer ill effects and did well post op!!!
Hello I'm new, I just had gastric bypass surgery on October 1, from that day to today I've lost 11 pounds, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I am having a hard time drinking all my fluids, but I'm not that far off, just seems slow moving please help
Susie-Nothing wrong with the amount of weight you have lost so far so I don't think you are doing anything wrong. You're probably eating or drinking proteins by now. Try to get at least 60 grams daily as this will promote weight loss. Ounce for ounce the protein drinks count towards your fluid intake so this is a good way to get your protein and fluids at the same timeIt does take a little time to be able to get 60 grams of protein and 64 ounces of fluids daily but you need to try.
