I am 2 weeks out from surgery, Starting to feel much better but I am allergic to the protein shaks, so I am not getting those in, I eat 4 oz of yogurt and 2 cheesesticks and 3 oz of fat free refried beans with cheese a day. (the whole day) not all at once, I am getting in about 40 oz of water, I lost 30 lbs on my preop diet and after surgery I gained 11 lbs, so now I am down to having lost a total of 8 lbs since surgery in 2 weeks, Seems to me I should be loosing faster, but I am not getting in enough protein or calories I know, but I just cant eat much more then 3 oz at a time. any advice from you experienced sleevers? am I in a stall? or am I just not eating enough and what do I do since I am allergic to the protein shakes, any advice is appreciated.. thanks

I was sleeved 2 weeks ago today, and I started having a severe pain in my lower left abdomen area, (much lower then my incisions) it hurts when I bend over and feels like something is pulling, it doesnt seem to be getting better, should I call my surgeon? could this be a hernia? I had a hiatal hernia before surgery but it never hurt so this pain is new to me... any thoughts ? if this is normal that would be great, but everyone else talks about exercising and stuff well I am in too much pain to do anything other then walk.. thanks in advance guys.

i called the surgeon the nurse said it was the internal stitch they use, but my incisions are all above my belly button and my pain is about 5 inches under my belly button, so we will see Hopefully it will go away on its own.

I dont know what in them I allergic to, I have tried the whey protein shakes and I get hives, the surgeon switched me to carnation protein shakes and I still get hives, I am clueless as to what it is but My body doesnt like them.. I am allergic to potatoes, and pork, so I have to be careful on that, I will stop stressing over the scale, yes I can have eggs and pureed soups, I have been eating 3 oz of brocoli and cheese soup, but I will be honest, I havnt felt hungry or full since my surgery so I dont know if I should be eating more or not, I am too afraid to get a leak to eat more then 3 oz, ugghhh this is harder then I thought it would be, cause with not enough protein Im sluggish..

I was just steeved On wednesday, I am in soooo much pain, it hurts so bad, It hurts when I drink water even, I am drinking chicken broth 4 oz for each meal and maybe 2 sugar free popcycles a day, I am not getting any protein in cause every time a drink a shake I get hives... anyone else experience the same thing>? also I have gained 10 lbs since wednesday when I was sleeved and have only had some liquids, any suggestions would help. thanks
