I had surgery 12/2. I think I'm doing ok but  am I eating enough? I am trying for 60 protein a day but on Fit Day says it's always under 800. I have lost 25 pounds,but since I have been on mushies I am at a stand still.

Not uncommon to come to a standstill at the point that you are at. Hang in there and the #s will start to fall off again. Your body is just trying to figure out what you are doing to it right now. It will become accustomed to what you are taking in.

It has been so long I cannot really remember how many calories I was getting in at about 3-4 weeks out. I think I could only get in about 500-600. But each person is different.

I can't tell what type of surgery you had--RNY or band (my guess is RNY), but your weight loss sounds really good. I had a different surgery than you but I lost 37 pounds in my first month, so I think you're doing great for 2 weeks!

In the absence of lab vaues to look at, I go by how you feel. How do you feel? Weak,  hungry? Then eat some more high-protien stuff. Plus, your body could just be in shock and is taking a moment to catch its breath, as it were. I'm sure you'll start losing again.

Be well.
