Thanks y'all! I feel awesome! I've hit another plateau and the pictures help me :-) I'm down 32 pounds and 27 inches all over. Surgery was April 12th

That sounds normal until you figure out what will and won't bother your pouch. I usually eat 1/2 cup at a time though. My pouch seems bigger than some people's.

My nut told me today that I should be eating no more than 1/2 cup per meal, so you are right on. Sometimes I can do that and sometimes its too much.

Does anyone kind of taste stomach acid when they vomit? I vomited for the first time...just a little bit of food and *THIS IS NASTY SO SORRY* lots of slime...avocado and I don't get along apparently and it tasted a bit like vomit. I thought I wasn't supposed to taste bile anymore? I still feel kind of bad...but it's the first time I've vomited and I've been eating fine. So I'm not in pain or constantly sick...I don't even usually feel nauseous...like ever.

Has anyone else tasted this? Should I be worried?

My nut just said today to make sure you get all your Protein and water! If I stall for awhile, I should up the protein. Are you getting enough??

20 pounds in 4 weeks is awesome. I got a stomach bug this weekend so it kind of "excelled" my weight loss lol- ok so it wasn't fun but now I feel good :-)

Dorian - the only reason I measured was because I hired a personal trainer and she measured me :-)

I have been getting 60g a day since I went to stage 2 (2 days post op) I have been getting around 80 the past few days. I just started soft foods today. I also get my water...and walk about 3 miles (an hour) a day.

Seems like you are doing everything just right. Hope it picks up for you!
