Just not to sure????

Hi, I am almost 7 weeks RNY (gastric bypass) post -op, I really don't know if I am to be counting my carbs and calories or just counting my protien intake or all of the above!! I am 48 pounds down, with about 100 more to go! So I am scared that I may not be doing something right , just not sure if I am doing things right or not!! Any and all advice would be extremely greatful!!!!!! Thanks ,Trish

Trish, Congrats on your loss so far. At 7 wks I had only lost 29 lbs. but I know for a fact I was not doing any carbs. Did you have a nutritionist prior to surgery who explained what you would be eating. I had a week to week schedule of what I should expect though my journey was a rough one the first six months with chronic vomiting but doesn't sound like you are having any of that. I suggest if you don't have a nutritionist to call your surgeons office. Only thing I can see is water and protein is what I lived on. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your success.

check my profile Trish, I posted the food list from my doc and when to eat it . This should help you. Be sure to get your water in and 60-80 grams of protein in a day. For you that will be 3 protein shakes, and after 6 months, 2 a day forever. we just cant eat enough of the protein our bodies need. blessings, Tami
