10 wks post op from band to bypass and losing 2 lbs per week
Had my band removed on May 11, 2010 with no complications and had gastric bypass done in same procedure. Everything went great. I weighed 209 on the day of surgery. Lost 17 lbs at my 6 wk follow up and surgeon was not pleased. Gave me a lecture about exercising every single day, 7 days per week for 1 hr. So, I 'm doing that. Eating around 900-1000 calories a day, nut said that was fine. Nut wants 60 grms of protein per day. No problem. Getting all my protein, water and taking all my vitamins. I'm only losing 2 lbs per week!!! I had gastric bypass to lose 2 lbs per week. I am only 10 weeks out from surgery and this is supposed to be the time that I am losing weight the fastest because when you hit 6 mos the weight loss slows. I am doing everything they told me to do. Any advice on speeding up the weight loss???
