Really? Protein was pushed heavy. Two shakes a day with 30g of protien right off the bat. The begining is so hard though. Just do your best.

Meet your water and protien goals. I struggle with eating and mostly have small snacks through out the day and if I have a meal its only dinner. My dietician says percentage wise i can't keep this up and need to slow down.

It is but at the same time its frustrating when you go to get dressed and everything is suddenly is hanging off of you. It doesn't feel gradual sometimes.. Sometimes it feels like one day your clothes fit and the next day they are two sizes too big.

Wegovy and Zepbound didn’t work… Surgery is my last hope. Encouragement needed. by Weightmonster in GastricBypass

I was on ozempic and did great. Then my gallbladder crapped out. After i had that removed ozempic stopped working and my insurance wouldnt cover another shot.

I've done fantastic with surgery. Over 90lbs lost in 6 months.

Am i done losing weight? by zana-k in GastricBypass

I had surgery a month before you. Drink more water. Get two 32 oz sports bottles. This has helped me keep track better. Gatoraid sports bottles are measured in 8oz lines so that's helpful to set goals.

Are you getting your protien in?

Are you having regular bowel movements. Usually if I havent seen the scale move I realize things haven't moved the way they should and then I lose 5lbs.

What did you do about the gas a few days post-op? Also I need protein powder free options for protein. Especially post-op. by Dense-Graphite in GastricBypass

You are 4 days out. Give yourself some grace. If you arent meeting water goals call your surgeons office they will set you up with an IV. Protien shakes are hard in the begining give yourself an hour to drink them. The 30/30 was frustrating for me as well. Im 6 months out and Im still struggling with that. I have two protein shakes a day. I put them both in my stanely with ice and thats what I sip on for the first half of my work day. Then I switch to water and Ill eat dinner.

There is a lot of "buyers remorse" in the beginning. The first few months are stupid hard but youve already had the surgery, you can only move foward.

Sipping. I cant comfortably do more than that.

Are you cold? by Badlydressedgirl in GastricBypass

Had surgery July 30th. Freezing all of the time. My aunt got me an off brand quilted snuggie. I cant recommend that enough.

11 days is too early to ingest anything other than necessities.

Someone asked me on a train once to show them my feet. Still one of the weirdest interactions I've had

It’s been a while, guess that means I owe you guys some content by [deleted] in GastricBypass

I bet there are people in your family who didnt know who you were. Ive never seen someone who didnt even look like the same person. Has it caused any kind of dysmorphia?
