    Frustrated-

    So 3 months out food is a chore- nuisance. I hate eating. I follow the rules but I hate it. It's not that I even really want to eat something else in particular - I just can't live like this. It's so ridiculous . I realize I am now forced to but my nut is nuts and I have many other mental and physical issues to deal with that are way more important to my overall wellbeung than this surgery Nevertheless here we are so I follow the ducking rules and hate it. Losing weight. Don't have time to care about nutritionc just have time to do what I'm told. I guess if what I'm doing is working then ok for now. It's so beyond me that this forum even exists because I don't have time to care or catastrophize over 1 g if this or that. I'm just so overwhelmed and sick of all of this. But we've all been thru do much with this that we have to keep forcing ourselves to do what we hate 24/7 to get what we want.git it

    Frustrated-

    Yes have to obey nut. Yes of course Protein snakes are ok. I'm scared to deviate from her plan and I hate her plan. I mean my snack is 1 tbs sunflower seeds and 1/2 banana . Who the hell has time for Snacks in the first place. I wk 80 hrs and can't do this perfect. But I do what I'm told. This surgery btw was never my idea which is why you are hearing the frustration . But it is what it is. What would likely help is something like figuring out the 1 oz of protein I'm allowed to something different- shocking idea:) I just don't gave time to deal. Maybe at Christmas vacation. My dinner and lunch is 1 oz protein and 2/3 cup of veggies on the properi list. I guess I really have no ? I just have to tune food out of my brain forever because its always going to be bland. That's something I just have to come to terms with in my spare time. In general I just think its the most unnatural thing that whoever you agree created you made you want to eat- food necessary and reinforcing on the brain. Now it's totally opposite of nature. You have to reprogram your thinking to realize its a chore and not supposed to be something you look forward to or that satisfies you. I find that very odd. But here we are. So I just kind live in denial of the whole thing. Quite frankly I don't even care that I've lost 62 lbs. I just do what I'm told. Don't own a scale. Don't care

    Newbie, questions and concerns

    Eating is just a chore. You don't think about it anymore. It's like washing clothes. You just have to do it and not think about it and focus on other things. That's key . Because if you have to spend time thinking about what u are having to eat u will go nuts So get a Hobby, distraction , kids , books, whatever. Follow the stupid rules. And you'll get great results feel better and lose that weight It becomes habit being hungry all the time.

    Coffee cravings!

    They actually don't care as long as you don't combine it with empty calories. When you have to exist on 600 calories a day, exercise, I have to have coffee to work 80 hrs a wk . That's just the way it is. And I'm losing weight very rapidly down tiv150

    Anxiety and Irritability

    Quite frankly with no mental health issues this surgery is enough to make anyone nuts and irritable and anxious. .. Until you get used to all 5 million rules. This truly is a life change. I underestimate it. So be patient with yourself

    Coffee cravings!

    Drink it every am - nut said ok. Not latte but plain coffee. I was sleeved July 2
  11. Yes, seroquel 800 mg put on 100 lbs, and these incidences happen. That's why I had to get this surgery due to seroquel

    Afraid to Weigh..

    In my opinion if you just make yourself suffer thru what the nutritionist makes you do, then you should be losing wt. I don't have time to be obsessed with numbers. This diet already wastes too much time. So I do what I'm told and let go of the outcomes. You can't change your metabolism
  13. Read "food not tasting good" I posted this morning has the nutritionist recommended diet that I follow at 10 wks
  14. Last week my nut said that it moves the food quickly so that u are hungrier sooner.

    July sleevers please check in..

    I lost 35 since July 2. From 230 to 195
  16. I feel that I cannot for many many months have food that tastes good or decent and it's driving me nuts. I'm 10 wks out lost 35 lbs down to 195. My nutritionist and I met last wk and this is the newest diet plan: 3/4 cup plan oatmeal rolled oats and berries Snack : 1/2 banana, 1tbs sunflower seeds Lunch: 1oz Protein (so chicken) and veggies to equal total of 3/4 cup Snack: light soy + coffee Dinner: same as lunch Snack: shake + 1scoop unflavored Protein powder So that equals 700 calories. I am starting to wish I could go back to just shakes and puréed pork I know having this surgery I'm not expecting to eat like pizza, but there has to be something in the middle. If you have any suggestions that would be great, Thanks!!
  17. Am I still stuck at 700 calories? How many grams of fat/day and how much carbs /day is reasonable? My office is so hard to get info out if . Please advise .

    8 months post off calorie

    Yes, they just havent told me when I can increase my calories- the office It's hard to eat 700 calories with 80-100 G Protein and almost no carbs or fat and keep it under 700. That's with no Snacks. I have no calories for snacks. I eat 3 times a day and exercise
  19. Am I allowed to eat beef stroganoff or BBQ? I'm 8 wks out sleeve ?
  20. I've been trying to figure this out too. Iost 28 lbs in 2 months , the mark I am at now. Went from 500 to 700 calories about 3 wks ago. It is hard to get the 80-100 G protein in with real food as they require and 700 calories. When can I go up to 1000? I promise to keep the carbs and fat low. Please advise. Thanks
  21. Hi, I have sleeve a month ago and am looking for online or regular stores that has the MTV and also the extra Calcium and d3 I have to take 3 times a day. I take 500 iu of d3 and 500 mg of calcium. Note that I think this is already in my MTV, but this is what the nut and makes us do, Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am new to where and how to buy all this stuff. Thank you so much in advance. Btw - can't find at Vitamin shoppe or GNC. They don't have the right doses.
