Thank u Carol.

Chips r carbs. Pork rinds r protein but I am guessing they r fried. That's probably the no reason.

Since they r high in sodium do they make u retain fluids. they r 0 carbs 9 proteins but I assume they r fried. They really satisfy a snack plus make U drink more water. I had my sleeve in Mexico do I don't hsvr a Nut to ask. Just wondered ig anyone else have eaten them since being sleeved.

Honest question. I know on the Akins diet high protein low carbs u can eat pork rinds. Has anyone eaten anyone of those since being sleeved. Tomorrow begins my week 7. 35 lbs in 6 weeks.

Thanks everyone. You've made me feel better. You r right it's amazing how u can eat more of softer foods like oatmeal or veggies than chicken, fish or steak.

Yesterday completed week 5. Today my food intake has increased. I've been eating between 2-3 oz at a time. Yesterday & today it has increased to 4-5 oz. everything taste good. When I am full I don't have that pain in my chest that I have been having. Just a full feeling. Has anyone else food intake increased that much between 5 & 6 weeks. I don't want to over eat or stretch my stomach. Is this normal.

Liquids did not satisfy either. At 10 days I started eating water downed grits. It was wonderful. Filling & satisfying.

Try some watered down grits. I did at 10 days. It helped me feel more full & satisfied. My friends doctor put her on this at day 8. So I did it at day 10. Made me feel so much better. Eat it very slow & do not over eat. I put some Splenda in it. At day 14 I added a small amount of smashed up banana.

Sounds like you r not getting in enough protein. Lack of protein will cause your weight lose to stall

Purchased the Celebrate Vitamins. The Calcium plus is the size of a quarter. 3 r to be taken. I also r taking the multi-Vit & iron. That's a total of 6 chewable tablets. I know not to take the Calcium seperate. The problem I am having I am 14 days post opt. The Vitamins taste like a sweet tart, not bad but they made me nausea. I even take them seperate. Does any one have a chewable Vit smaller than these or any idea. Maybe as I become more post opt it will get better.

Good word!

I am day 6 post-opt. So i am not there yet. But My friend is 18 months she experienced no hair loss. She made sure she got all her protein in. I ask my doc that question Friday. He said if that begins to happen increase protein.

I used Dr Jose Rodriquez in Jaurez,Mexico. He's been doing surgery for 25 years. Over 14,000 gastric surgeries. A nurse from Texas was there the same day I was having the surgery. Ske works in the department the hospital does all these surgeries & plastic surgery. She did not have it done wherevshe works because her insurance would not pay for it. She researched it thoroughly. I have had 11friends have it there. Not one person has had a problem StarMedica hospital. Went through BeLightWeight.
