    Nearly 8 weeks post op

    Are you eating all proteins? I just thought I would eat everything in smaller amts. but that doesn't work
  6. No... Protonix made me go to the bathroom 10 x day . It is given like zantac for gerd after surgery. Did doc put you any new meds?
  7. Are you on Protonix? Thats the gastric issue. I took it only 3 days.

    daily caloric count

    I can eat 1600 a day easy. I need to go down to 1200. i don't do protein shakes. Is that my problem? If I drank moire I would not be able to eat as much right? I am a former bander and actually have enjoyed my sleeve allowing me to be more normal, which has backfired slightly. I am still losing but VERY slow. Actually none in 2 weeks. I eat carbs too. I need to do 2 protein shakes a day and go protein only right? Can somebody repost the guidelines? My doc is very lenient and I don't have a NUT.

    Bougie Size and Restriction

    My Dr. Used a 36 and made it snug. It is not too tight but I have to work at the Fluid intake. Sometimes I wish it were tighter. I can eat a whole pack of oatmeal but am very satisfied. The first few times I seemed full on 1/2. But I am full on 2/3. Have to wrap my head around it. Still learning. When I overheat I hit the wall without a lot of warning and then feel miserable!
  11. I think so. You will stay on track to healthy choices and not be hungry with small portions.
  12. What is the app? I cannot see it.
  13. Everything would be good, except for this lousy hematoma attached to my left side. I hate it and I hate waiting to see if it will reabsorb on its own. That is what is expected. Nobody on here has had one it seems, but when I google it- it pops up for people with hysterectomies often. It is only mildly painful bit is like a small toy football in size. I guess it scares me.

    small football left side

    A Hematoma. Will reabsorb. Since I am on antibiotics, I should be fine. No extra restrictions. Quite a relief.

    Feeling really bad tonight

    I think you would do great. I have the ok to advance my diet and it is so good to feel totally satisfied on a 1/4 c. chicken salad and not want more. I love it. That raging hunger and bottomless pit is gone forever. It will be so much easier to create new habits that wont be sabotaged by the hunger pangs. A yogurt is a great lunch, before I would have died of hunger! A diet failure always! So much more iin life to do besides filling that empty hole!
