Yes, I felt this way at months post-op. Heck, sometimes I still get that way! Great loss by the way! You look great.

I still feel tighter when I eat dense proteins......

Carbs go straight through me to my colon......

I hear ppl say dense Protein alot??? Can you tell me more about dense Protein? I am 1 week away from starting soft foods should i be eating dense protein during this phase? Thanks for any advice

Dense Protein is solid foods like steak, hamburgers etc. I would 't advise eating dense Proteins until your stomach is healed.

Yogurt & cottage cheese are good examples of 'soft' Protein. A piece of chicken is a good example of 'dense' protein.

shewolf im depressed because i feel like im not doing something right because i am losing so slow. i am bad about the excersising im kind of scared because i eat so little noooooooo thats just an excuse lol. i have started some toning my arms and thighs are horrible.

You should be eating around 1/2 cup of food at each meal, are you able to eat that much?
