A New Vee

Hi everyone I’m six weeks out and definitely try the sugar free Jello cold it saves me the first two weeks also I munch on ice then when you do soft foods .. eat mashed potatoes,, cream Soups, ,pudding ,, zero Greek yogurt ,, cottage cheese when you pass the soft foods and start eating my dr said I could have any fruit in between meals oranges and grapes, watermelon saved my cravings ... good luck

I completely understand the thought process here. You've gone through major surgery, and have completely changed your eating habits. You want results, and you want them NOW.
Bodies are silly, tricky things. Your body doesn't know that you've CHOSEN to have this surgery. All it knows is you fell asleep and some STUFF WENT DOWN. Your body is throwing everything it has into healing, and losing weight is NOT what it's thinking about right now.
When I came home from the hospital, I was actually 10 pounds heavier than when I went in. Losing 10 pounds in 3 weeks is normal, healthy, and a great accomplishment! We are not living in a Woman's Day headline where you can lose 25 lbs in 14 days.
Be gentle with yourself and trust the process. You WILL lose weight, you CAN do this!!

Thank you!!! I have GENEPRO on my approved list as well so I'll try that one first. With so many different choices it's just hard to know where to even start, so a good review is always useful!

What kind of unflavored Protein did you buy? My first try at it was some stuff I got from the hospital and I never want to taste what ever "unflavored" flavor that mess was again. 🤢

I'm right here with you guys at 8 days out. The hunger has been serious since day 3 and the sweet/milky Protein Shakes are driving me nuts at this point. I struggled yesterday with getting Protein in since I couldn't stand drinking one more shake. Today I forced myself to just get through them.
I also know I can't step into a grocery store right now without wanting to buy EVERYTHING, so I ordered a grocery delivery from Walmart online (including more clear protein drinks). Thank heavens for modern technology!

I have GENEPRO the approved ones on my list is pure Protein Powder, EAS complete Protein, vega one protein, Bariatric Advantage protein & Optifast high protein. I didn't have my list with me so I asked the workers at GNC for assistance.

It's better once you get to soft foods, then solid foods. Your stomach knows when to quit eating and you don't get real hunger anymore.

I had finished mine about a week prior to surgery, but when I woke up from surgery I had it again. The following month I was 4 days late and a week after that one was done, I spotted for over a week. The next month was a normal 28 day but this month I am 2 days early. I think it affects our periods one way or another and eventually it should level itself out. But if you are concerned you can always call your dr for peace of mind.
