Hello!

I’m in my 5th week post opt from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and have lost 17.5lbs. But the last 3 weeks I have only lost a total of 5lb. It’s incredibly frustrating and I know it’s not about the short term, but it’s a long term change. I hear it all the time. But why can’t I accept this and be happy instead of feeling like a failure, frustrated and like this was a lot to go through for unsatisfying results.

I’m hitting my protein (70-80) and water goals (64+) everyday. My daily calories average 500-600. And I walk 30mins a day about 3-4x per week. After next week, I can start to workout, lift weights.

Anyone been in the same boat?

Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Super helpful.

My nutritionist asks that we count calories on a tracker that they monitor. I assume to make sure we are getting the correct macros and calories. At 5 weeks, she said I need to be between 600-800. I have a very hard time getting into the 600’s because I’m so full. But it’s getting better. I will push to get closer to 800 and see if it helps! Thanks again for the response!
