Hi! So I'm 18 & I had my surgery on 4/17/13 starting at 310 and as of today I'm 258. I think for 2 & 1/2 months that's pretty good. But lately I've been really weak & I haven't been able to keep any food down. Plus I barely get 30 grams of Protein in a day. I can't do the shakes. I basically eat anything just in super small portions, Is that ok? I guess I'm just looking for some advice lol

At 3 months I went threw the vomiting stage due to a structure had to go get an opening in my stomach cuz I couldn't keep food down but after that I was perfect.

You're doing fine with small portions if you can measure it out and just make sure your not eating more at one time. As far as weight loss you're doing great! Keep trying with the Protein Shakes keep trying different ones until you find something you like. And eat high Protein foods first.

Keep it up!

I agree get checked for a stricture. ... I have one right now and the longer you let it go the worse it is....may not be but it's better to check it out

In my honest totally non professional opinion you are not getting enough Protein. You have to try to get 60 to 80g a day. Try adding the non flavoured stuff to everything you eat and even try the small bottles of "protein to go". I got some at Walmart haven't tried them yet and have read that they taste awful :-( but it is so important I will drink them anyway if needed.

Of course you should also get checked for a stricture in case that is the problem.

My Protein was low today so I had a protein to go. They are gross but small so I got it down ;-). Really hoping my unflavoured Unjury Protein Powder arrives tomorrow.

If you're talking about protein"shots" beware..they don't have a lot of digestible protein.
