please add me anca july 13th

Hi! I wonder if anyone out here try acai berry supplements post-op. I know they are very healthy, even dr. oz recommends them. I just saw them at my local bio store and thought about buying, but I have second thoughts about this. What do you think?

thank you very much. everything is sooooo true

The problem is not that I don't know what or when to eat, is just that I'm not hungry. I can see a nutritionist or my nut, but I don't see how they can help me with my hunger, or the lapse of it.

thank you all for your answers!!!!

Hi! Is there anyway you can go back and visit with the nutrionist at your surgeons location? Or even call the nut?

At 7 weeks out I was doing great,, fat free cottage cheese, string cheese, chicken, seafood, burger (no bun).. I would have a protien shake in morning , a protien bar at mid day snack.. I pretty much would eat 4-5 small meals all day long...just to keep fuel in my body..

If you are only eating a protien shake in the morning (which goes through you), then salmon & mash tatoes for dinner you are not eating enough at 7 weeks out...just my opinion which is why I really hope you can contact your nut, to get more on track with food/meals...

Good Luck...& take care

Hi. I'm 7 weeks out and I eat almost anything now. Don't be scared, as long as you chew very well, nothing will go wrong. You can have salmon, any kind of fish, chicken, toast, tuna (canned), ground meat, Beans hard boiled eggs, omeletes. Try those and you'll see. You've lost a lot, girl! Keep it up! I've only lost 25 pounds, but it's ok.

At 3 weeks out I could barely eat 1 egg at a time. So try eating half...I know it's kind of hard to stop eating right now, but you'll get used. Yeah I know what you mean when you say the shakes are too sweet, but eventually things will get better for us. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

Hi, i'm 7 weeks out and I don't think I eat enough. I was wondering what others eat.

for example, today I had just some salmon and very little mashed potatoes for supper and a Protein Shake in the morning.

Yesterday I had a hard boiled egg and a Protein shake too.

Some days I get 2 Protein Shakes and some chicken. In fact I get very little calories. How about you?

When you can fit in a swing at the park.

Hi! I'm 7 weeks out and down 25 pounds. youpppppppiiiii!!!!!!!! But I have a concern...not eating enough. Today i had one Protein Shake in the morning and some salmon and mashed potatoes for supper( very little). Yesterday I had a Protein shake, one boiled egg and Water. I'm not really good at countinc calories, but I don't think they go as far as 1000 per day. is it bad! what should I do? I'm really not hungry.

Are others in the same boat as I am? Ohhhh...and I do elliptical 30 minutes 5- 6 times a week and walks with my 3 children almost daily.

you can have an omellette, pureed veggies or fruits, canned tuna or salmon, bananas, yogourt, mashed potatoes, Beans of any kind, etc

me, i'm aloud anything i, or my sleeve can. no seeds though. i'm 5 weeks out too and i eat almost any fruit once every other day or so. first our proteins........

hi! I'M 5 WEEKS OUT! it's normal you can't drink or eat anything after just one week. after a month it will get better, you'll see. don't worry about Proteins for now, drink as you can and be strong. things will get better.

I am almost a week out from surgery. I am really struggling to get in enough fluids. I just can't drink enough at one time... even sipping all the time... to get it all in. I am mostly worried about getting in my Protein. I have so few choices this early into being sleeved and I just can't choke down the Protein Shakes. Again I try to take as much as possible but it is minimal. I hate the taste and that makes it so hard to just sip. I am scared of the consequences of not getting in my protein. I know it hasn't been long since my procedure but is this going to get easier? I have lost weight so fast and that is great but I really haven't eaten or drank much of anything for a week now. I am worried about becoming dehydrated. I am trying to drink milk for Calcium, protein and Fluid. Any suggestions on how to make this easier on myself? Does anyone know of any Protein Drinks that are really yummy? I have tried several and so far no real luck

i take Centrum forte and i cut it in 4-5 pieces and then i drink each one. tomorrow i'll try mixing it with my Protein Shake in the morning.

I tried 5 different chewable vitamins. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!! so what i do now is i cut in 4-5 small parts a Centrum Forte and I drink them with Water.< /p>

THANKS A LOT! IT IS VERY USEFUL!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I would share this with those of you that need Protein drinks and different options :crying:

I had this emailed to me a long time ago, and while cleaning out my inbox of the 2000 emails I stumbled across it again. I do not know the original author/creator/inventor or I would give proper credit.
