Thanks everyone

I am having the same issues with food. With VERY little exception everything that requires chewing makes me nauseated. I have no problem with my Protein Shakes or Greek yogurt. I am still not able to eat anymore than about 1.5 oz at a time on a good day. I'm not really sure how much it should be at this point but reading posts I feel like it should be a little more than that. My calories are rarely more than 500 a day but I do manage to get at least 60 g of Protein.< /p>

I don't enjoy chewing either.

Thanks Sara Beth,

i was starting to think it was just me. im actually doing well with soft foods refried Beans. veggie chili. its the " real food" that is problematic, and i chew it until it a pureed consistance.

i think it may be baked products? breads, tortillas not sure why but it appears when ever i have an issue some baked was involved. im going to stay away from them this week amd see what happens.

Just to be clear im talking about one small bite and im feeling it.

I feel like I'm loosing to slowly. I'm 5 weeks this pass Thursday and only down 26-28 pounds. Is this normal weight loose?

My surgeon says the goal is 50-60 lbs lost in 90 days. So it sounds like you're on a good track based on that goal.

Got really discouraged clothes shopping today. I went to try to find a outfit for an interview on Monday and nothing fit. The pants that I tried on were a size smaller then I normally wear and they were tight. The dress that I ended up getting was an xxl and that's what I would normally wear from target. So where exactly did I lose 60 lbs? So bummed.

The first time I went shopping (about 3 months post op), I left with nothing and went home crying....nothing fit right, the smaller sizes had my funky fat hanging out all over, the larger sizes were enormous. It does get better!!!

My nut asked if I lost any dress sizes, and I'm like " yeah four sizes!"... I was pissed she couldn't tell.

What do y'all do when it's almost 10:30 in the morning and you aren't hungry enough to even eat Breakfast ?

I guess I'm going to go find something to eat but nothing sounds good and I'm not the least bit hungry.

Mine says 60-80

Mine says that as well.

My Doc said to avoid soft baked products due to bread balling possibility. I eat the small multigrain Townhouse crackers with Roasted Red Pepper hummus with no problems (other than having to count the number I eat. LOL) but am deathly afraid of bread at this point. He said well toasted breads and hard crackers were OK.

I tied an experiment since my last post and its baked products for sure. Im good with food but if i take so much as one bite of bread or any thing close to it. toasted or untoasted my pouch rejects it. well check that off my list for the next few months. at least now i know.

Don't let that discourage you for very long! - This is the time we have to let our rational brains overcome our heartfelt disappointment. Sizes run the spectrum among designers and stores - heck, an 18 by Liz Claiborne runs different than an 18 at Talbots that runs different than an 18 @ Target. Also the inches probably won't come off in equal proportions. It's a journey, allow yourself to Celebrate you!

here is a kitchen treat tip :

Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt + Crystal lite lemonade powder = lemon Meringue

My eyes rolled into the back of my head it was soooo good

not bad for 18 grams of protien 15 calories and 0 fat

yipee
