1. muscle weighs more than fat remember you are working out
   
   
2. you could be in starvztion mode if you are eating little cal and putting out a lot of energy that could be it also
   

That does make sense I made need to cut down on the energy burning and take it a little slow because it is hard for me to get anything down. I am still drinking 2 Protein shakes a day to get the Protein in. I wonder why the doc just didn't make my sleeve big enough for the cals that he wants me to take in LOL....

I understand your frustration. We are so accustomed to eating such a variety of foods at each meal. The necessity of concentrating on Proteins now really limits the variety we can enjoy at one meal. But some tough love New Grandmother - eating some of everything is what got us in this boat in the first place. As much as it sucks right now, we have to just suck it up and realize that right now our job is to take advantage of these first few months and lose as much as possible.

In a few months we will be able to eat a bit more during each meal and can expand our variety. Until then, get that stupid Protein in. Drink those annoying fluids. Walk when you'd rather watch TV or take a nap. Get 'er done! We CAN do it

NG I'm not mad, I know I shouldn't have eaten the ice cream. No nutritional value and didn't even taste that great.

I don't know what to eat anymore, I hate Protein shakes! I've eaten pistachios and beef Jerky for the protein, tried chicken several times but it always gets stuck. Gained 5 pounds thanks to the IV, so sick of everything!

I haven't tried any of the bariatric food, I'm a single mom so I'm always broke, I buy what I can.

I thought this would be easier, it's all new and taking me longer to adjust than I thought.

MDM - ik how you feel - I feel I'm not even able to afford all the right stuff I need to have to be successful - I'm a single mom to & although I feel better - I'm getting plenty of Water but not Protein, some days I get 40 & others 60... I wish there was just a pill that we could take for protein. -lol...

I take Multivitamins but I just ran out & ugh lets just say I do understand your struggle... Just don't give up..

Why is it that the bad food goes down so easy? I just ate an ice cream sandwich with no problem. I've been so hungry the last few days' date=' I guess it has to do with me being sick.

I washed my hair this morning and it was coming out by the handful ?de1fI went and bought that fall fight Shampoo, I hope it helps!
