I'm on soft Proteins. Tonight I tried Chinese takeout: tofu with ground pork. Ate about a half cup, which is more than I've been eating at one sitting. Felt fine. Waited the time I was told to drink (nut said half hour; I've been waiting 45). Right after, I was hungry again! This seemed strange, tried more Water but still felt hungry. I figured I'd listen to my body, and had about 8oz of Protein Shake. Now I feel so close to throwing up I keep running to the toilet. Was the Chinese food to blame? Maybe it was greasier than I realized. Just trying to figure out this new stomach is crazy making. I think I'll do all shakes tomorrow. Anyone had any similar experience? Probably better to keep it really, really light and simple.

The shakes to me seem so heavy in my stomach I do not get sick. They just make my stomach queasy

Chinese was probably not the wisest choice for beginning. Stay away from takeout! Unfortunately if you had the sleeve, they also removed the hormone that makes you feel hungry. If you feel hungry its psychological. Soft food is not pork. Soft food is like chicken chewed to a puree, greek yogurt, eggs chewed up well, things like that. U really need to look at the fat content of what u ate. Good luck to you.

Point taken!

This goes back to my head-love of food. I was always excited about all kinds of ethnic foods, and know in a few weeks I can start making these foods at home, with ground turkey and tofu. Today I'm sticking with shakes, yogurt, and scrambled eggs. Keeping it simple feels so much better in my body. It's just a mindset change: takeout was always a reward, as my husband can't cook.

Thanks for the feedback.
