Plain yogurt means plain like white color.....I did not eat plain. I ate flavored like cherry or something but just try not to eat the chunks of fruit. The only issue my doc says is the sugar in the flavored yogurt is harder for stomach to handle....good luck

I loved Mcd sweet tea or in our small town chicken Express just like an addict...now 7 weeks post op....it is WAY TO SWEET...tastebuds I guess changed!!

wish we had a costco...heard those are good. By the way...congrats on weight loss!!!!

well I have lost 35# also..just got out of hospital for 6 days. I became very dehydrated and potassium levels dropped. So I am struggling with water intake. I also dont drink protein shakes anymore because they mase me sick so now I have bitter feeling about them. I have not used fitness pal you speak of. I am going to have to try it. Eggs have not been easy on me either. You have done better than me...I have not made it to gym at all yet. I have a Senior basketball player a 11 yr old bball player and 8 yr old bball player so kids and their activities seem to run my life! KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME...WE CAN COMPARE STORIES!!! GOOD LUCK....

I had sleeve on 12-12-12. Anyone else out there that date or close to it. Lets compare whats working. ..not working...what we are eating...not eating...just any details to help each other!!!

highest weight...245 surgery weight...230 current weight...200 goal weight........190

When was your surgery? I had mine 12-12-12. I too am regretting it right now. I just got out of hospital for 6 days because I wasnt eating or drinking. Im having very hard time finding.foods also and also have become lactose tolerant. It is not fun yet.....

You all are so sweet for kind words....I have learned each day is a day by day thing....its a trial...some days are good some are bad! I know there will be a light at the end of the tunnel...I just havent found that tunnel yet!!

Well Ive been reading lots of threads here lately. I guess well yes I know I did it to myself but after not eating like I should or drinking fluids after 6 weeks...I was hospitalized!!! Total dehydration...low potassium...no nutrients and hypoglycemic....6 days of hospital. Needless to say today (first day home) I am drinking lots and trying to eat!!! Just take it slow and easy everyone and follow doctors rules.....

That is goal number two for me....one was no more blood pressure meds...accomplished now please let me go below 200- I am at 204 right now!!!

I know this is a minor accomplishment to many but I had to share. I am four weeks postop and up until I probably have had 2-5 grams protein a day....things have not gone well for me. I ate half a greek yogurt at lunch and half for snack and I got down 14 grams protein!!!! That is all Ive had today but again things arent well for me so I am so proud of that 14!!!

Dr. Stowers in Decatur...I am from Comanche Texas. I am 5'7" and started 235- down to 204.5 in 4 weeks.....

BECKY first of all congrats...I was sleeved 12-12-12. KEEP UP GREAT WORK

I appreciate your words so much....couple questions because we live in very small town. Where can you get those syrup flavors and isopure?

I have never tried.greek yogurt....is it good?? I am worlds pickiest eater!!!

sleever 963- i am having gag refluz at anything in mornings therefore not able to eat. I know this is bad so what should I do? I also am not drinking any form of a protein shake.....its just not working for me. Maybe I need to make my own??

I am facing same thing!!! Cant stand cottage cheese....raw seafood....gag....alot mention ricotti dish...gross...I am not good influence but we can share ideas once I find any!!!

I know Im gonna set myself up for lectures etc but here it goes. January 9th will be 4 weeks post op for me. I would like to give you my typical day.....breakfast maybe half a yogurt, lunch three to four bites soup, supper 5-6 bites mashed potatoes....add some fruit juice during day maybe 6 oz...and maybe 6-8 oz water. I am not dehydrated and not hungry. I know if you figure out protein h2o and calories I am eating like an infant so what do I do???? Also when can I try few bites pizza topping or few bites spaghetti or few bites ham and cheese roll up???

Thanks...I tried egg this morning..two bites and got that sick feeling...Im going to talk to NUT today.....

surgery already complete....three weeks postop

sounds like a good answer though!

I have recently been trying to drink a protein shake in the morning. I get about 4-5 sips down and I cannot get to the bathroom fast enough. They are causing extreme diarrhea. Do you think Im lactose intolerant??

Please tell me what slime is so I will know....I just asked a question...not judgemental. I have thick thick spit...is that it? Again I am only 3 weeks along.
