CanadaLoser 80 Posted May 18, 2016 I am exactly 7 weeks out today and until about a week ago I was doing just fine - I could tolerate everything and was doing really well with both Water and Protein. Well that's all changed....now nothing seems to agree with me. My stomach feels icky/nauseous every time I eat (or even think about eating). I'm not getting my protein, not getting nearly enough liquid and fighting to get about 600-700 calories a day. Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions or tips? It's getting really frustrating! Not to mention my weight has stalled for over a week as I'm not getting enough calories. And I dont have any energy to exercise.

Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 18, 2016 600-700 calories is almost at normal for where you are at. You might bump it up a couple more hundred calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadaLoser 80 Posted May 19, 2016 Are you taking any Vitamins? Yes - Iron, B12, Calcium, Biotin and a multi. My levels are all really good - was just tested the other day. 600-700 calories is almost at normal for where you are at. You might bump it up a couple more hundred calories. The Dr said I should be closer to 1000 a day now. And I was getting into the 900s for a few weeks....and that's when I was losing. Now I'm not losing.

gord1972 19 Posted May 19, 2016 I am exactly 6 weeks post vsg today. I understand where you are coming from..sort of. I too can hardly eat anything other than Protein shakes and if I am lucky a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese a day. Even fluids are tough still. I average 800 calories a day. I had my 6 week post op with my nutrition Ist yesterday. She was happy with my progress. I was also told during my pre op,seminars that our new tummies can be just fine today and cranky as heck tomorrow with no rhyme nor reason. Just my thoughts...
