Well Hello...
I have been on this site for a while now and I have found it so helpful. I thought that I would ask you all, as I haven't got anyone else to ask. I have 2 main issues, that I hope you can help with.
I had a Gastric Bypass on Tuesday 7th August, so I am four weeks post op.
At my heaviest I was 30st 10lbs in May 2011, when I started the milk diet 10 days before my op I was 23st 12lbs. On my surgery day I was 23st 1.5lbs.
As of this morning, I am 21st 12lbs. So I have lost 1st 3,5lbs since my op. I know that I should be happy, as it does seem quite a lot, but I haven't lost any weight in the past 2 weeks.
In a very long way of saying it, Is this normal?
My other concern is that I have recently added different foods to my diet. Everyday I am trying something new, and to be honest, everything has gone done well. The only issue I have had, is when I've been out and I have eaten too quickly. I know better, so will be extra careful in future.
So the next question is.. How much should I be eating?
I am practically eating everything, except bread and rice, but on Sunday my husband made a Sunday dinner and I put some on a very small plate. I took my time and I managed to eat everything. I wasn't full at all, but obviously stopped eating. I am just concerned at this early stage that I can eat quite a bit. I have decided to only have 3 meals a day, but really, how much is too much?
Thank you in advance, any help would be much appreciated, Lucy
