kikitrixie 9 Posted January 11, 2013 Hi everyone... Ok so I am 2 weeks out...tried egg salad and it felt like a ton of bricks in my stomach...I haven't seen my scale budge minus the initial loss.. As I sit here writing this I keep scrutinizing myself-have you had all the Protein... My answer is no... I have no appetite..and when I do eat I can barely eat 4 oz of food and it takes me about 1 hour to finish those oz...is this normal??? So the 60 grams of Protein is out the door even with shakes it takes me a whole day to have one shake... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T'snewstart 251 Posted January 11, 2013 I had the same problem the first couple weeks. Try eating yogurt or cottage cheese they are both loaded with Protein. I honestly have no nice remedies. I would take the Gas X strips and that would help me with that feeling. There are still foods that effect me that way. Those foods I stay away from and then 're- intruduce that food back into my diet a few weeks later to see how it lands. Some food are fine and some not so much. It takes time to learn your new body. When my surgeon told me I might dislike food I would normally love I thought he was nuts. Turns out he knew what he was talking about. Sorry I am rambling.... With all that being said.... I know this is a hard thing to do... however, try to be patient you will get it all figured out...... Best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa2job 130 Posted January 11, 2013 I didn't even try any regular food for probably a month I would think it would be too soon for eggs still your stomach is still healing and really swollen .... I ate Soup , Soup and more fricken soup and drank protien shakes .... try Isopure its more like Water , taste horrible ( too me ) but I got it down to make sure I got my protien in. It was probably my 3rd week before I could tolerate a regular protien shake.... it gets better very fast after the first two weeks hang in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikitrixie 9 Posted January 11, 2013 I eat oikos yogurt.... i love the yogurt.. It takes a while to eat it too.. I think if I am getting 30 g of Protein I'm exaggerating :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldiva 26 Posted January 11, 2013 I make two weeks tomorrow and Im still on phase 2 until the 5th week is when I can start eating eggs per the diet the doctor has given me. All I eat is Soups, Water, Protein Shakes, popsicles, yogurt, broth, jello and cottage cheese. My problem is making sure I get all my Protein in and eating when I dont feel like it and for some reason I cannot stomach the sugar free pudding when I loved pudding before.

chestnut68 13 Posted January 11, 2013 Slow to lose. Sleeved Dec. 28th and have only lost 4lbs. I get my Protein in but not all the Water. Why am I not losing faster. I walk twice a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthpro 6 Posted January 11, 2013 Ask your nutritionist. It may be the lack of Water. Water is the catalyst for so many things in our body. Hang in there! 1 chestnut68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chestnut68 13 Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks I will. I go back for 2 week check up on the 14th. Wanted to be down more. I lost 21lbs on pre-op diet. My blood pressure meds were changed right after surgery and now I seem to be retaining a little Water. Hopefully Dr. will help me with that. I know it'll start coming off. Just a little down after reading everyone else's weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthpro 6 Posted January 11, 2013 I understand:) WE all go through many emotions during this journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthpro 6 Posted January 11, 2013 Make sure you are not gaining more than 2 pounds in one day. If so you should contact your Dr or the ON call Dr to see what they think. Several days of that would not be good. Stay encouraged and don't stop believing in your dream! 1 chestnut68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
