Your fluids are absolutely critical. Worry about meals as you progress. Use shakes/protein waters to knock out the biggest part of your requirements since they're "2-fers" and you can count them for both protein and liquid. They're especially useful when you've gotten behind. Good luck!

Oh, my, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Best wishes that you get sorted out soon.

Drinking one shake a day is a sure way for me to reach daily protein goal.

I'm 7 months post-op and still drink a chocolate protein shake every morning for breakfast.

about 40 lbs. But I was much heavier than you are..

I went from 246 to 239 during the 6 month nutrition counseling. Was 239 on the day of my bypass. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have also gained part of my weight back. I have gone keto for normal people and the admin wanted me to consume over 1249 calories. I couldn't. I went to bariatric keto and it was more reasonable. Now the difficulty is getting back on track and cutting all the crap out. My family keep bringing it back in the house and I get angry and eat it. My bad. So now i need to pull myself back to basics. Tomorrow is my start date.

my doctor said something about that i can eat something but i cant remember what was sai Sent from my LG-M430 using BariatricPal mobile app

I, personally, am not dating anyone until I reach my goal and after plastic surgery. I want to focus 100% on myself and this process takes a lot of dedication and time (for me, anyways) and I don't feel like I have the ability to focus or care about anyone other than myself right now in the way that I should if I were in a relationship. As far as just friendships, how you look shouldn't play any role in your friendships.

YOU CAN DOOOO IT!!!! WE can do it!! I’m so sorry you’re having headaches. I suffer from migraines myself, so I know how it is. I guess I have it a bit easier than most. I work nights (3 12hr shifts), so I spend a lot of the day asleep, and I’m not much of a night eater anyway. For me, my challenge is gonna be when I go to school (I’m a nursing student) and clinical on my off days. Everyone’s gonna be eating, and I’m just gonna be sitting there with my Jello and Protein shake.😩
