Does anyone else have a problem with myfittnesspal ap for iPhone? Often I log something and then it doesn't show up in my diary- i do this repeatedly. It is very annoying - am I doing something wrong.

I am almost 5 weeks out and eating between 600-800 calories a day and hitting the Protein goal without shakes. I have been on solids for a week now, eating chicken, burger patty without bun and chicken burgers, meatballs cheese etc. Does this seem weird to anyone? I feel like many on this site can barely eat. I don't understand this. I asked my PA and she said that I think it is because your surgeon is amazing. She said she goes bariatric conferences and is bewildered that patients even have problems with this surgery. This made me feee a bit better but since I am a revision I can't help but worry. My carbs are usually very very low but I have no problem eating small meals. Keep wondering if something is wrong!

My sister and I were sleeved (our first WLS) on the same day, by the same surgeon and our experiences are completely different.

My sister is really struggling with food - everything feels like she's eating rocks, nothing is consistent (the same Soup will upset her stomach one day and go down great the next), and some days she's really rundown.

On the other hand, I feel like I could eat anything if I chewed it well enough (we're 20 day post op). I have a little heart burn and sometimes I forget to eat slowly but for the most part, I've felt pretty good. I even had a small bite of my husband's homemade burger last night - no issues.

I think it just comes down to the fact that everyone is different. I don't think people who are struggling had a lesser surgery. I think it's just that our chemical makeups are different! The one thing that seems pretty consistent though, is that at the 6 month mark, everyone feels good!!

      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.
