jaria007 2 Posted August 20, 2008 I'm so BLAH! I am normally the most disciplined diet person ever but have been so opposite since the surgery. I find that that things I should eat- like Protein hurt no matter how much I chew and make me puke. So then I find myself eating oatmeal, Soup, chili, etc because I can keep it down. I tried Lean Cuisine and couldnt keep it down. However, I dont feel full. I've also had crazy cravings for sweet stuff. I at least reach for a 100 calorie pack instead of a box of oreos, but either way I dont seem to lose unless i stick to protein and low carb. I lost a ton of weight fast at the beginning because of the liquid diet. I literally lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks. After that, I went to mushies and gained 6! I then had my first fill and lost the 6 plus another 4. That was June. Since then, i've only lost 2 pounds which comes off and on again. Havent dropped another pound. I'm also tall, so 32 pounds is nothing on me. I mean, I have noticed a slight difference, but I thought I would have at least lost 50 by now. I do need to exercise more. Ughh, I guess I am just looking for a pep talk. I am super discouraged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
