The first shake I made with almond milk made me gag, the second one today with skim milk is much easier to get down. I am getting and oz an hour and then Water in between. I did do a Popsicle this morning and will probably do another this afternoon and drinkable yogurt 1 oz.

Well I am not having that issue, but things I have read suggest trying things like popsicles and ice chips. They melt so u have to ingest in a certain amount of time. I pretty much started by setting myself on a timer. One ounce is three small sips jist about so if you set your timer on your phone or got an app for timing bites (what I used) then u could so a sip every 5 minutes. This should produce less discomfort and you could intake 4 oz an hour. In 12 hours that is 48 oz. that is what my doc said the minimum was. If u find it getting easier do one sip every 3 mintues or two minutes...i will say some prayers for you! Good luck!!!

I have a question, I had VSG on 7/8/13, initially loosing 38 lbs since 2 week pre op diet till week 3 post op then on week four I put on 4 lbs and they will not come off. I get about 70-90 Protein and around 600-800 calories. What am I doing wrong? I am disgusted and upset, going through thoughts of why did I even have the surgery. I know having VSG was the right thing to do since I was at 348 but know I am having difficulty with this. Can anyone help me get a better understanding of how this happened.
