Having A Hard Time Getting Food In



Recommended Posts

I am having a hard time getting food in. Which is making me have zero energy. Which is making me have no gumption to go to the gym. I haven't had a week w/o weight loss (surgery was 08/15) and am having a difficult time getting Protein Shakes in. I dunno. Just really frustrated. Between working my full time job and being so tired I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks. I have been walking a bit but not everyday. I am so upset with myself.

Everyone goes thru this stage. You know what you have to do... now is the time to do it. Choke down that Protein Shake first thing in the morning... get in that 35 grams or so to start your day.. then plan on eating a little something every 2 hours til you can get all the Protein in. Baby bel lights go down easy... 6 grams of protein.. laughing cow cheese.. I think 5 or 6 grams per wedge.. goes down super easy. You can do this... I have faith in you. Its mind over matter. You will succeed!!! Oh and take your vitimans.. If you exercise it will increase your energy levels. You got this girlie!!!!

Oh Becky... it will all get easier... I promise. If you think something is wrong do not hesitate to call your doctor that is what they are getting paid for. I am a morning person and have tons of energy when I first get up so I do my major workout (tread mill jog) in the a.m. of course that requires me to get up a hour earlier before work but I don't mind. My evening exercise (weather permitting) is a speed walk with my dogs. If I don't get the evening workout in no big deal because I already did my major workout !! You just have to pick a exercise that you like and do it !!! Exercise actually gives your more energy and gets those endorfins (natural high) going !!

The Protein is a MUST !!! don't try to get it all in at once, that comes down the road. Maybe split half in the a.m. and half in the p.m. Try different foods to see if you can keep that down. And please chew,chew, chew and chew some more !!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
