Nissen weight loss

Welcome to the forum, Believe.

Your weight loss is just fine. Two pounds a week is a lot! The main thing is to eat healthy so you can recover. It takes about 3 months to recover from major surgery, and you had major surgery! Follow your doctors' directions and eat what you are allowed to eat. Your stomach will tell you when to stop eating. If you feel full you'll regret it later.

In 3 months, when it's time to diet, still don't try for a fast loss. This isn't weight loss surgery. We're here because we had to have the surgery, not because we wanted to lose weight.

My secret to losing 40 or so pounds was to stop eating wheat. I'm not a gluten fad follower, but I feel better. My cardiologist says I'm the poster child for cholesterol control. I have familial high cholesterol and I've got mine in a perfect range now. The liver takes carbohydrates and turns them into cholesterol. Don't worry about fats. It's the carbs.

I have lost weight as well since the surgery, and eat much smaller meal portions than I did before the surgery. I too am still re-learning what a proper serving size for me is now. I go out to dinner and get filled up with the soup and bread that comes with the meal, before the entree even comes out. Part of our stomach was wrapped around our esophagus, meaning we have a smaller space to fill now with food.
