No 6 month prep for surgery. Anyone else?

Oct 04, 2014

I had my gastric bypass on Sept 8th. I am just shy of my one month mark. I had to have the surgery as medically necessity. I did not have the 6 months to do the dieting and mentally prepare myself for this. I am scared a lot that this might not work for me. I try everyday to stick to eating my protein and feel full and stopped. The only problems I have had was going to the soft food section of the diet. I was not getting any feelings of fullness and got sick a few times. I have learned to just stop after having about 6 bites of food and waiting 15 minutes to see if I still have a feeling of hunger or if I a "full". I have not weighed myself since the first follow up with my dr and have the next one in a few days. I don't know how much are you expected to loose in 30 days? What is too little what might be too much. I started at 269 on the first appointment after surgery which was at 7 days after.
