I found a liquid calcium citrate called wellesse with D, walmart or walgreens carry it. about $7.00 http://www.wellesse.com/productdetail.asp?id=3

I'm sure everyone is different but in my case it doesnt growl but makes noises, usually not load at all. If I havent eaten in awhile, I get a empty, lightheaded feeling-thats when I know its time to eat.

How much fat do you take in? How much is too little or too much for a day?? I'm 23 days post op -Currently I'm taking in 500-600 cals and about 80-90 protein, with 10 (or under) fat. Whatcha think? I know my protein if high do you think its too much? Can you have too much protein? Thanks for you help!

this is a good subject because we tend to think if 60g protein is good, then 75 would be even better, not thinking that it may hurt us! please check with your NUT and let us know. thanks!~

thanks guys, your input helped alot. I dont feel so lost now. your GRrrrreat!

What does your calorie, fat, carbs and protein look like in any given day???

thanks guys!

Hellooooo! Love this thread!! I'm IN!!!!

WOW! Congrats!!! I cant wait til my ticker says 3 pounds to go Just think all your hard work paid off.

Stacy160, This was my first time ever talking with the NUT and I am really starting to believe like you! It comes down to you know your body best.

ok we are all different! journal everything to make sure it's not water wt from the time of month etc. I just seen my NUT for my 6 week post op after showing her my print out from livestrong.com, she told me to increase my calories to 800-1000 and to start drinking 100% fruit 16-24 oz day for 3 days, "to get me out of ketosis! and that I should be eating at least 100 carbs daily" I barely can eat 500 Cals, and 23 carbs at this point, there is no way I told her. She said and this is quote "I need to work on stretching my pouch" OMG!! Ummm my quote and as nice as I could be "no thank you, that's what got me here!" My point, they have guidelines and will tell you to do what their text book tells you. DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, I KNOW I AM! GOOD LUCK!

MAGUI, I THINK MISUNDERSTOOD ME! DONT REDUCE YOUR Protein, I WASNT LOSING BECAUSE MY PROTEIN LEVEL WAS 40-50 IT WAS MY MISTAKE WHEN I READ THE LABEL ON MY PROTEIN SUP. WHEN I INCREASED MY PROTEIN 80+, I STARTED TO LOOSE AGAIN!! IF YOU REDUCE YOUR PROTEIN TO 40-50 YOU WONT LOSE!!
