Hey - My surgery date was June 7th, 2010. Just wanted to see how you are getting alone?

It is now 10 weeks since my surgery and I am now down 45 pounds. I am still having problems finding proteins that I like. I think I could easily become a vegetarian as I seem to enjoy eating my veggies more than my protein. Is anyone else having these issues?

I continue to drink protein shakes to help supplement me and am dabbling in Greek Yogurt as another protein source. Pre surgery I loved chicken but now I can't stand it. I never would have believed there would come a day that I would say that. Any trouble with chicken or other meats; any suggestions on how to tolerate other protein sources other than shrimp, protein shakes and Greek yogurt?

I had my surgery on June 9th.  I am feeling good and am down 74.5 lbs

Hey there, my name is Brenda and I had my RNY on June 29th as well. I am glad to read that I am not the only one with a weight stall this early in this journey. I have lost 22 pounds the first 2 weeks and nothing the 3rd and 2 pounds on 4th week. A little discouraging. Have you been able to get all your protein in??? I am having some trouble with that and was wondering if that is perhaps the problem. Its hard to understand how your weight can stall when your barely eating and eating healthy at that. I am going to request to be friends. I would really like to share our experiences since we had the same surgery date.

I had my surgery on June 4.  I have lost 46 lbs now--July 26.  I seem to lose about a pound a day.  Even tho I'm into the 7th week, I am still doing soft stuff and will go in for the balloon stretch of my stomach opening in a couple of days.  I have trouble w/anything that is the least bit big (diced chicken, bean, etc) so they will fix that and I'll do real food.  I kinda thought I'd lose faster doing the liquid too, but i haven't.  I never had a hibernation period though--in fact you are the first I've heard mention it.  I do think the changes will vary from time to time.  If you are getting that few calories, you should do the dropping at a good rate.  I'm not complaining about a pound a day.  Just keep doing what you do.  and keep up the exercise.
