Almost 12 weeks post op

Hey all......... I have 1 more pound til I'm down 50 pounds. I guess thats ok for almost 3 months out. I wi**** would go faster though. i got my gallbladder out on Wednesday. I feel ok, but I'm tired alot still. I also can't eat some of the things that I was eating before. Its crazy. I'm getting sick on things I never got sick on before. So, I guess I have to figure out what I can eat all over again. I have to go for a EGD on Thursday. Just to make sure everything is ok down in the pouch. Well, just thought I would update. Take Care, Depsy

Hi Depsy...I am in the same spot as you. 12 weeks down 50 lbs. Doesn't it feel wonderful? Sorry to hear about your gall bladder.

Hey all In three days I will be three months out myself and I am 48 pounds down. I get stuck on these plateaus as well. It took a week to get down one pound when I hit a 35 pound loss. This is happening again the scale hasn't moved again in a week. I haven't been dieting either but, I get very frustrated when I eat. Three bites and I am finished. It seems carbs go down the best and yes I get feeling bad at times. I don't ever puke but, I burp and burp and feel a heavyness in my chest. I lay down and it seems like its gone in 20 minutes. Frustration seems to be the largest obsticle for me and yes I have a hard time with it. I put a little bit of food on a coffee saucer and can't fini**** Does that happen to you guys? Always throwing away stuff and I am so very picky with my drinks. I take a taste of something after buying twelve bottles and than hate it. Good thing I have Ed here to drink and eat everything I turn my nose up too. Hugs Cheryl

I'm 10 weeks out and I'm down 38.9 lbs. I keep stalling but starting last Thursday I started upping my protein to 80-90 grams and I started increasing my aerobic activity and for 3 days in a row, I dropped .8 lbs EACH DAY. So I'm going to keep trying that for the next two weeks to see if I can drop another 10 lbs. So if you stall, you might try that. My typical food is 1 can of low-carb diet slimfast in the morning (20 grams), 4 0z of yogurt for a snack (8 grams), Lunch - 4 0z tuna salad or tuna/egg salad (26 grams), 1 oz cheese snack (7 grams), Dinner - 3 oz chicken (approx 30 gr). I might change it slightly but this has worked for me.

I had my RNY and Gallbladder done on 5/10/05, I have no problems with food. I hope you are feeling better soon.
