My surgery was Oct 2. All I do is research. Different sights give different information. I read clementine oranges are acceptable. However, they send me running to the bathroom. Which actually I don’t mind because otherwise I go about once a week (that’s with stool softeners). But I just read the sugar in fruit can mess up weight loss. Anyone know the truth?

I’ll try TJs Greek! Thanks!

I had my surgery on 10/02. I get terrible hiccups. I use it as a sign to stop eating or drinking. I get terrible heartburn if I don’t take my Pepcide everyday. Depending on what I eat, I’ll feel the food move up and down my esophagus. Usually chicken does that to me. Again, I’ll have to stop eating.

How fast is your weight coming off? I thought it would come off faster. Your doc didn’t give you medicine to prevent gallstones?

Way to go! You’re doing great! Had my surgery 10/02.

Thank you, Berry! I was doing yogurt but can no longer take the taste of artificial sweeteners even Stevia. I liked cottage cheese as a kid. Maybe I can tolerate it now. You’re right. I need to keep experimenting. If you think of anything else, I welcome your ideas and tips.

110 lbs in 5 months??? Amazing! Congratulations! I’ve been pretty discouraged. I’ve lost 27 lbs. I thought it would be more by now. I’ve got to get that protein in.

I’m still not eating a lot. Certainly not a whole serving of anything. That’s what’s messing me up. I can eat about 1/2 a turkey burger, about 4 or 5 small bites of chicken, half a protein bar. It takes me about a 1/2 hour to drink two cups of milk. I can eat about 2 table spoons of mashed cauliflower. I only drink skim milk. I try to make it Fairlife so I get the most protein. I’m not a big fan of cottage cheese but I may have to get over it. I can’t stomach a protein shake or broth.

Thank you so much, Berry78. This was so helpful. I’ve been doing Milk. I may reset and do what you did. I may do full liquids(milk) and slowly replace with food. I just can’t eat enough yet to get protein in. If you any other tips, I’ll take them.

I’m 6 weeks out exactly. Have only had clementines twice. I’ll pull back on them. It’s really the only sweet I’ve had. I can’t handle sweeteners. Not even truvia/stevia. I guess I’ll go back to unsweetened applesauce. At least I can add protein to that. Thanks!
