KISS. No need for special tools, special bowls/plates/utensils, etc. You will outgrow them quicker than you think. I track everything still in MFP (food, water, exercise, poops, BP, BGs. LOL. I use a digital scale daily and stainless measuring cups/spoons daily. I use a saucer/bread plate for meals and regular salad forks and coffee spoons for food. Beyond that--that's it.

Digital food scale is the only thing I use for tools. I also use MFP. I have a slow cooker but I’m buying an Instant Pot on Black Friday for myself!

At 2 months post-op how many ounces were you able to eat, I can eat 8 ounces before I feel full, I know that everyone is different but does this seem to be to much? Thinks!! Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon said less than 100 grams daily, but that less than 50 grams was best if I was able to cut them that far. I average between 30 - 65 or so. Less than 100 is very doable with no bread, pasta, rice, candy, etc. 😂

Here's a food log of mine from 3.21.18. I was 4 weeks + 1 day Post Op. It "is" possible to get 60g of protein in for around 450ish cals/day. I did it quit often in the early days. But it takes some real strategy. Part 1 (click to enlarge) Part 2 (click to enlarge)

You are completely normal. You just try to do your best but don't beat yourself up if you can't. Someone suggested popsicles and that is a great idea!

I was there! I was actually not doing so hot when I left the hospital in my intake and it went back down. Then I increased but now have gone down again. Your body is changing ! Be kind to yourself and to it 💖 it will definitely thank you later. If you go a week more like that maybe call the hospital backto see if you can meet with the dietitian or speak with someone over the phone. Hang in there I know it's tough, I'm still navigating the highs and lows and I'm 3 weeks post op Xo

@erinlyle if you had the traditional DS, I don't really know anyone who fasts. What we do is eat. More protein and more liquid. I agree with lowering the carbs. That will definitely help with the weight loss. But having the DS was a way to stay away from things like fasting and dieting. Also, you need to keep the protein going for energy and to keep your gastric system eliminating waste.
