Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi everyone! I am new to bariatrics and still learning. I wanted to know when to expect wt loss to level off/or stop. I have a pt who had surgery(Roux N Y ) last September(08). She has gone from 259# to 123#( down 136#) since last September. She is 65 inches tall and is 49 years old. She is getting concerned because she is still losing weight, about 2 to 3 pounds per week. I reviewed a 24 hour recall and she is eating about 1200 kcal and 80 gm protein( she still uses protein powder twice per day).She has stopped exercising because she is afraid to boost her metabolism. She now wears a size 4 loosely and her family is concerned about her continuing to lose wt. I am bringing her in for an outpatient session and was interested in your recommendations. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
