Although i do have a concern..i can begin to eat real food according to my Dr. but i have and i feel like a sinking sensation after a couple of bites. Then i get like gas inside my stomach ...is that something unusual?

Same here! After a few bites, I get this pressure in my chest/windpipe area, that is only relieved by walking. I have been able to eat more often, but I can't take in a lot. This morning it took me two hours and 10 minutes to eat 5oz of Chobani yogurt. I am not complaining, I am just adjusting to my new life style! Still working on the Protein though!

Lovingcheryl I her u. I honestly don't take in a lot of Protein as i am not hungry enough. I am really in bad shape when it comes to protein intake. I started my journey at 219 and now im 187 Im loving it. When was your surgery ?

^{My surgery was April 8th. I am down 29 lbs thus far. Next week is my one month appointment. Today I told my self I am going to make 60 grams of Protein. I just drank the nastiest Protein Drink mix with the Gosh awful EAS AdvanEDGE shake. I ate some yogurt (15 grams). I am at 42g and I did that ricotta bake in the cupcake pans so I am thinking one of those will put me at 50-52. Wish me luck!}

At this point in the game, it seems to me that you shouldn't necessarily be waiting for hunger to get in your protein. Get yourself on an eating schedule to regularly provide fuel to your body, even if you aren't hungry. Not being hungry is useful to prevent unwanted snacking, but your body does need a reasonable amount of fuel to keep your metabolism churning along at a good rate to keep weight loss moving.

Good luck!
