How much protein, calories, and carbs are recommended? There should be a consensus! I see everyone on this site with a different daily amount.. I asked my surgical team, including the nurse and nutritionist, and they all say not to count calories, or carbs or protein! Just eat a balanced meal of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal and I will be okay.. I prefer to follow a high protein, low carb meal plan... Apparently they haven't heard of this.😕 Advice.. 😑

Is anyone having trouble digesting meat? Whenever I eat even a small amount of meat, fish, tuna,or eggs I feel terrible! Like I've been punched in the chest! I can't even swallow chicken... I start feeling nauseated as soon as I taste it. I don't have problems with ground beef if it's in chili or stew.. This really disturbs me, I love meat!! 😣

Thanks everyone, I'm hoping it will get better with time... As I said... I Love meat 😁

Thanks James! 😋

Stay strong... 👊

You're doing Great! Blessings on your surgery 😇

Whew! I don't know how you all did it! 2 wks pre op??? My surgeon has a 3 day liquids only... Any liquids.. Soda, juice, etc. I thought that was hard! 😕

It has been recommended not to eat fried or fatty food... Anyone know the reason and/or the consequences??

From your mouth to my body! I hope it picks up! I was supposed to have the RNY Bypass... But I'm thinking they played me and just stuck some holes in my abdomen! 😕

I have the same experience! I've been hungry since 2 days post op! Now I'm 2 months out and can eat denser protein it's better... But I was led to believe my hunger would be gone.. Not increased! 😣

I don't know if it's " normal " .. But I was ravenous! I thought I was gonna scream uncontrollably. or eat something I shouldn't... 😝 it does get a little better as your meal plan includes more choices... In the meantime, force yourself to drink until hunger goes away .. Good luck! 😉 P.S. don't watch food commercials 😨

I feel the same... 8 wks only 16 lbs lost! 😣... I feel like I should have just stayed on the weight loss plan I was doing before surgery.. Better results.. No force feeding myself water every 15 min! Ugh!... Well hope I feel different in a while 😋

Khaleesi 😁 I agree...

Well I never went to a fast food place for the quality ingredients lol..😁

I just bought an Air Fryer. (GoWiseusa brand $89) different sizes, diff prices I got a larger one ... Works great.. Cooks food at a very high temp, very fast, in a sm space.. Check out on Amazon and read customer reviews.. Some have provided photos... I made hot wings today used no oil, or breading, just seasoned, came out crispy just like from the pizza joint.. 😋

I would like info re: low carb vs low calorie... In the past I have found that eating a low carb meal plan worked best for me... But my surgical team and nutritionist only advise low calorie meal plans... So I can't get any how- to advise from them. Has anyone tried low carb? Any advise?? ?

Thanks everyone.. I am so lost and confused.. I'm hungry all the time! I was looking forward to less of an appetite.. not more! 😞

Huh? Please explain... I didn't understand that..😟

How do I know how much protein is in an item? I don't eat any bread, rice, or pasta... I'm not losing much weight... 16 lbs in 7 wks...

I made several meal plan changes pre surgery. I stopped drinking any soda, juices, or liquid calories... Haven't had any junk food or sweets.. But... Post surgery I have been hungry! I wasn't this hungry on my pre op liquid diet! I am 8 wks post op, I eat 3 meals of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mostly protein some veg.. 1 snack... Drinking has been hard only up to 50oz per day 😞 .. Not much weight loss... 16 lbs .. Why am I so hungry?? I was led to believe the opposite.. That my appetite would be less.. Any advice?? 😧

I snack on pork rinds... Tasty, crunchy, all protein, no carbs.. ?
