calorie count
Hello! Wednesday I will be 3 weeks out and I've already lost a good bit of weight but last Friday I switched from liquids to pureed foods and since then I am at a stand still. Nothing lost.
How many calories a day are u eating? I have to get in 55-65 proteins a day and in order to do that it requires calories. 8-(
Any idea how many calories you are eating...especially recently out of surgery?
Stalling at three weeks is super common.
I aim for 60-80 grams of protein a day.

It is normal to stall at 3-4 weeks post-op. Don't worry about the numbers. Your body is adjusting to having surgery and your weight loss. Keep on track with the food progression that your surgeon recommends. If you follow the protocol of your surgeon, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT, I promise.
I'm 13 years RNY post-op. I eat between 60 to 80 grams of protein.
