lizzyshade some protein shakes have lots of carbs or sugar try the light type.

Crazycatlady there must be some foods you use to enjoy while dieting that you can enjoy now. I couldn't eat meat for first 2 mo. it just didn't settle well. The weight loss will improve if you can find a few things you enjoy and just eat them for now until you feel better. Good luck!

My surgeon put me on a pill at 2mo. because I still have my gallbladder.ursodiol twice a day to keep from developing stones for 6mo. this is when the weight comes off the fastest and stones will form. Did he mention this to keep from forming more?

When my nut. first said no lettuce I couldn't believe it but apparently it had very little nutritional value I miss salad but protein certainly does fill up the sleeve and stays fuller longer. The sleeve is definately a learn as you go experience. I too am having prob. with snacks its so easy to let bad habits sneak it. Good luck to you!

Im so sorry you are having such a bad experience since your surgery. I have not experienced the diarrhea thing since early on but the Dr. wanted me to stop the omeprazole for stomach acid after first mo. I had so much discomfort I have continued a lower dose 20mg. which i get at costco in part because of my other meds. I take they seem to irritating my stomach. Are you still on stomach pills it might help. I am 4 mo. and I eat out quite frequently I think time will heal all wounds. I hope you feel better soon.

I feel your pain I am 4mo. and have stayed about the same for the last month! I have lost 45lbs but wish this stall would end. I think I will try cutting carbs and up the protien as my hair has been thinning should probably increase my exercize routine.. I have read alot of blogs seems like this happens to many but eventually passes we just have to have faith and do what we can. Good luck! If you find something that breaks the stall be sure and post.

I like the muscle milk light is only 8.25oz. 20gms protein and 3gm sugar which is important to me since I WAS diabetic it also is not as thick as some which I like comes in vanilla creme and chocolate I started with vanilla because choclate sometimes upsets my stomach. Good luck!

Have you talked to your surgeon? I am taking a pill which is suppose to break up any stones that try to form since I had my surgery may be to late but worth a try. Good Luck!

I too suck at math but I have been doing this for 13 plus weeks and I have discovered the body does not give it up easy I may stay the same for days/weeks then all of a sudden drop 2 or more lbs. and I do know muscle weighs more than fat so jus keep workin n put the scale away for a while! good luck

I get up early and have usually cooked cereal or egg then at 10ish I have a protein drink I also have a snack in the mid afternoon protein drink or bar or peanut butter n banana it was my habit before sleeve due to diabetic diet and works well now I just eat a lot less.I don't feel hungry in my tummy but I do have head hunger which is harder to control! Good luck

Sounds like dumping when u have to much carb & sugary food it wants to leave the body quickly! Well it was a learning experience I have had some of the symptoms but have yet to vomit thankfully you have a great weight loss keep up the good work!

I am 9 weeks out I can eat what I want now I don't eat sugary foods or junk foods but I eat meals like my family 2-4 oz. meat 1/2 sm. potato. Vegtables are still hard for me to fit in I eat around 1/2 cup each meal. I understand by 1 yr. out maybe 3/4 - 1 cup at a time. Sometimes I can eat a little more than that I think my stomach is more efficient now at moving foods thru. Just chew, chew, chew, good luck to you.

You should try muscle milk light it contains no milk and has 20gm of protein also have you tried GasX the nurse told me to try this as I had a bad attack of gas when I was leaving the hospital. I took it for a while after eating and bedtime for a few days it really helped me. good luck and It will get better this I know. I had surgery Jan. 20th.
