kikitrixie 9 Posted January 18, 2013 Ok so I'm not losing anything but then again I'm exhausted and apparently not eating enough...but I can't even tolerate eating other foods...I'm whiney! Sorry! I just looked at another menu sample and nearly croaked! An egg AND a sausage patty..I barely finished the egg! I feel like I am such a failure already! I was told to try Soups which my stomach can tolerate then upgraded and take 5 steps back! Can you possibly not lose wt? Cause this is how I'm feeling! Ok sorry that was a little whiney..

JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted January 18, 2013 It is frustrating. Your body could be in "starvation mode". Talk with your nutritionist, you may be able to find some foods/shakes that will increase your caloric intake and get you the nutrition you need. Try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup or some other higher Protein options to get in what you need. How far out are you? Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted January 18, 2013 All you can do is keep trying to see what works, you are still healing so hopefully things will begin to get better. Are you taking any acid reducer? You're not a failure, your experience is just different than others. I would definitely reach out to your nutritionist and see what you can do to increase your Protein with what you can tolerate. Do puddings go down ok? I've found that heating my milk for the Protein shake (like hot chocolate) really helped. There are even some drinks (not shakes) that are available www.bariatricchoice.com Maybe something like that would mix it up for you and get you the much needed Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
