I detest eggs and am lactose intolerance. I think I will just have to experiment more. According to the nutritionist, I am now, after 5 weeks, where most patients are in one year. I feel slightly bummed that I never had the honeymoon that most experience with the lose of appetite. Thanks much for the input and words of encouragement!

Hello all from beautiful Rockville, Maryland!
I was "sleeved" August 4, 2010 and I am having a hard time with my mind catching up to my body; realizing my limitations. I healed beautifully! In fact, I felt so great that I did not follow the doctor's orders. I was suppose to follow the liquid diet for 3 weeks and today was the day to officially transition to soft foods. I've experimented and tried various foods since week one - August 11.
My major problem is that I do not like nor can I stomach the foods that I am suppose to eat. Cannot drink or smell another Protein Shake, Jello or broth. Cannot stomach cheese or diary products - lactose intolerant. And this leads to experimentation. Consequently, I am eating and drinking too many carbs. Additionally, I am hungry! More hungry than I have ever been in my life! Although my doctor tells me that the hunger is in my head; I disagree.
Below is my typical diet. It lacks variety and flavor. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
My Breakfast -
veggie burger, chicken breast, turkey breast or sliced deli ham
lunch -
Wendy's chili or chicken breast, turkey breast or sliced deli ham
dinner -
panara Soup, chili, veggie burger, chicken breast, turkey breast or sliced deli ham
Thank you!!
