Question For Post Ops...Please Reply

Hey Everyone I Was Wondering How Much Weight You Lost Your First Week It Doesn't Matter If You Are A Band A Switch Or Rny? I'm Not A Week Post Op Yet But I Would Love To Know How You All Did Your First Week. As Long As I Lose 1 Pound Im Happy!! I'm Not A Big Complainer At All And I'm Satisfied With Little Or Nothing. Also I'm Having A Hard Time Getting All My Protein In...Did Any Of You Have The Probelm?? Thanks For Your Answers Nikki.

Is that why I'm loosing all my hair??? I've been going crazy and I had no idea why! How much protien should I be eating? Thanx so much! Becca

I didn't weight the first week, but in the first couple of weeks I think I'd lost 15 lbs. If you have protien powder add it to everything you can for now. Unjury makes an unflavored one that people add to liquids, and mashed potatoes and things like that.

Hi Nikki, It totally depends on how big you are to start and how much your body is used to eating. I lost 22 pounds by my 1st week check up. By my third week I had only lost about 3 more. It really depends. Good luck! I hope that helped! Becca 389/293/170
