New Me 31317

Thanks everyone...feel like I am struggling and am afraid to eat more

Thanks everyone, the problem that I am having is that I just can't eat more per meal and if I had another meal and that makes me feel like I'm eating all day long and then hard to get the liquids in.

Thanks. Who is supposed to clear me for the next stage, my dr or nutritionist?

Thank you. I have considered the fact that I might need more calories but I am not sure how to fit it in! On my drive to work, I have a protein shake. Around nine I have some yogurt. The lunch time I have some sliced turkey and around three I have a piece of cheese. And then for dinner I have some lean protein (no more than 2 ounces) Not sure I can get any more than that....also I'm not sure what else to eat, I've been pretty much stuck on yogurt cottage cheese lunch meat and tuna.

I am six weeks out from bypass… Feeling very discouraged, only 23 pounds lost, dealing with major constipation and can hardly eat anything other than yogurt and cottage cheese… I hope I didn't go through all of this for nothing

Pretty much only eating yogurt, cottage cheese and some ground meats...anything else?

I had bypass on March 13… Started out at 232 and now at 215 so 17 pounds lost… Does that seem low to anybody? I have been having issues with constipation so maybe that explains the low weight loss. I would appreciate any words of encouragement or advice.

Thanks all. I have been pretty positive before and since my surgery so I think the emotional part is just catching up with me

Going through the same thing to myself… bypass on 4/13, only down 23 pounds

Hi everyone...my husband and I are going on a cruise in early July...by that point, I will be sbout 3.5 months post-op...anyone have any tips as I am already getting anxious about all of that food and making sure I am able to get all my protein in...thanks

Sounds like eating too fast or not chewing enough

How far out are you?

Does anyone have recipes for high protein soups?

RNY on March 13th..has anyone tried shrimp 5 weeks out?

Wow...i am almost 6 weeks post RNY and i can only get about 70 grams of protein and 500 calories if I am lucky...still having trouble tolerating alot of variety of foods...so pretty much just yogurt, cottage cheese, canned chicken and beans..any other suggestions...only losing about 3.5-4 pounds a week...

Me too...5 weeks out...20 pounds lost...

I had RNY 5 weeks ago and have only lost 19 pounds...does that seem ok?

The patches seem very expensive...

I am just about 5 weeks post RNY....i cannot tolerate the chewable vitamins....any suggestions for really good liquid vitamins?

Is the patch as effective as liquid or chewables?

5 weeks out...can we have s/f frozen yogurt?

I am one month post op and have pretty much only eaten cottage cheese, yogurt and fish...too afraid to try anything else...looking for some ideas for dinner...help

I am having serious issues with constipation… What are some good source of fiber? I am just about a month out. Thank you

Phew! Thanks

Only lost 10 pounds pre op
