I ate something yesterday that did not agree with me! I had 2 plain chicken wings, and the came back up almost as quick as they went down. I have only thrown up a few times, but after this time I had some discomfort and pain below and between my breast (is that where my pouch is?). I also felt very nauseous for about 12hrs. Is it normal to have pain or discomfort after vomiting?

Also, I am 4 weeks post op and stalled on my weight loss too. I get 70+ Protein a day. I see my nut and Dr thursday, is it possible to get to much protein?

And 1 more question. Is anyone else having trouble sleeping? I have terrible insomnia. I have tried tylenol pm, melitonin, and muscle relaxers, and I still can't sleep. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

E

My nutritionist said it was okay to be over on Protein. I was at 91 one day. I haven't dumped yet, but do you think you may have dumped from it? I'm one month out. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I have had a terrible time sleeping. I also seem to get restless legs or for that matter my whole body! I have to get up several times and walk around and stretch.

My nut said not possible to get too much protein on a 400-500 cal diet/day. She said once your up to 800-1000 cals a day then you need to watch protein intake.

Are you working out? I haven't been on a stall since working out. I walk at a minimum of1 hour on the tread mill / 5days a week. Much of the time it is 1hr45min. Yes I am on the extreme side of it, the working out I guess but since I moved from losing .5 pounds per day to 1 a day.

Haven't thought about those calories so haven't been counting. Something to consider though because some of those are 25 - 50 per dose.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
