Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  This is crazy!!!!!!! I need to vent! It has been a week now and I have not lost anything this week!!!!!!!  I lost pound yesterday only to gain it back today. I am only eating 500-600 cals a day. I'm averaging 60-70 grams of protein a day. I have only walked twice this week for 20 minutes each time because I'm so discouraged. I'm having a hard time believing that even though I'm not exercising alot that I haven't dropped anymore weight. I talked to the nutritionist yesterday and she told me to up my walking to 30 minutes 3 days a week and add 2 days of resistance like with the bands or something. I guess I thought that I would lose weight without exercising alot and if I did exercise it would just increase my results. Is this normal?? What if I have altered my body and done all of this for nothing? What if I don't lose anymore? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | deep breaths. i see you mention calories and protein, what about your fluids? not drinking enough will cause you to retain. this is very normal. dont panic. dont be upset. the loss will start up again in a little bit. i think its funny how my surgeon never told me it would be like this lol. i mean, they never mentioned the weightloss wouldnt be steady. was i just supposed to know that?  chin up, you're doing good.

| Super Moderator  | You're still less than 3 weeks out. The VERY FIRST THING your body is going to do at this stage is HEAL. Yes, heal, it's going to take 3-4 months for your body to heal completely from the major surgery you had. After all, you had your plumbing rearranged, even if you can see only the scars on the incisions of your skin, and it's closed, your guts are still healing. The staple line that closes off the pouch from the rest of the stomach is still swollen, and so are the staple lines along the stoma, and, needless to say, the staple lines that attach the limb of your bypass. So, don't expect to lose in one fell swoop. You are going to lose in bumps and humps. Your body will lose, will recover, then lose, and recover. Again and again. Think of how long it took you to get up to the weight that made you need the surgery. Your body is going to NEED a long time to shed all of that. Don't worry about the calories, just stick to the basics, 60g protein and 64oz water, plus regular exercise. There is NO WAY you will NOT LOSE at least, this early out, with your surgery. The first year, you WILL LOSE regardless. Make the most of it by using this time to set up good habits, instead of worrying whether it will work or not. (((((((HUGS))))))

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hang in there. Its funny for me to be typing this becasue it seems like I was just in your shoes and now Im almost 5 months out. This is defitnely a journey and there are ups and downs with it. It gets frustrating and I just tried to take each day as it came. Like Doc says concentrate on the protein and fluids and things will move along. I know this is easier said than done. But Ive been in your shoes and now I think back to the stage your at and I was there too. It does get better and your body is still adjusting. Even though things seem fine on the outside the inside is still saying "what the heck has happened." And like someone else says would you have lost the 24 pounds without surgery this quickly. HAng in there and chin up.
