Gas pain right after — felt like a ton of bricks in my chest. Walking is only thing that helped HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 186 5’6”

How are you feeling Arabian78? All good now?

Hi Kim! 75 lbs is amazing! Congrats! Im sure your Dr will be amazed at your weight loss too! Im eating about the same too.... losing about 2-3 lbs a week at this point but a loss is a loss so Ill take it!! Good luck with your Dr next week!

youre probably right and Im wrong! Im sure she said carbs and sugars. Im just afraid of screwing it up! Report back on what yours says next week!

what is your calorie intake btw? Mine is around 600 but Im further out

No sorry, just meant that Ive written about it before. Your post is more direct and to the point yea she told me the longer I hold off on carbs the more weight Id lose now as according to her once you eat them you cant go back-- for whatever that means? I assume craving etc. She told me to keep with proteins as my main eating -- maybe Im remembering wrong and veggies were ok?? Sigh, so much has changed in 3 months lol. Just trying to keep up. Makes sense to hold off on carbs and forgo fruits so maybe that was it?! Maybe she will yell at me in a couple of weeks at appt lol Youre doing amazing btw!

Hi all Ive posted about the same question a few times... thought the same as you-- there must be something wrong lol. I am eating 4 oz of protein like ground turkey with a little tomato sauce and laughing cow cheese wedge. It is filling but I eat it no problem at all. I do however feel if I eat sauteed chicken its more like 3 ozs and starting to feel full around 3 oz. OR like a jello pudding (SF of course) feels different. Water takes forever but protein shakes go down no problem. Time wise is fast-- too fast?? dunno. It really only takes maybe 15 min to eat at most My NUT told me to hold off for as long as possible on veggies or any carbs (blatant carbs like quinoa or breads etc). I havent since surgery. Im sure if I started to eat veggies or carbs with my proteins Id maybe feel different? Dunno.... only eating proteins right now really. Seems to be working I guess?? However I wonder too on amounts or that full feeling being missing like everyone else gets who says theyre full after much less food etc. Confusing.... I guess I have a lot of follow up questions for my dr and nut on the 27th of this month...that is a bit over 3 months after surgery. Thanks for asking this question!

Youve got this.... its normal to freak out but I promise you it is amazingly awesome and life changing. Hang in there!

I thought you were supposed to eat every 3 hours so isn’t that normal? HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 188 5’6”
