My team said just to focus on Protein and Water but I'm not loosing. I think maybe I'm not eating enough. I eat 800 calories a day but myfitnes pal says to eat 1000 because of my metabolism. Anyway I noticed that another person has been counting the calories in her Vitamins, I haven't, do you?

Sorry for the double posts! My computer is acting up, plus I can't figure out how to edit and delete! I track everything on myfitnesspal, not bariatric pal!

CALORIES? I use bariatric pal to track my Protein. I'm a slow loser, I've only lost 16 since surgery. Anyway myfitnesspal told me that I need 1000 calories instead of 800 because it's slowing my metabolism. My team has told me to just pay attention to my protein and Water the first three months but...I don't want to eat to much and I don't want to eat to little! I TOO AM GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON HERE BRONX!

I'm in the same boat, only lost 16 pounds since surgery. I'm getting 800 calories a day using myfitnesspal. But it says I need 1000 calories. My team told me to just concentrate on Protein and Water. I don't know what to do!

Congrats! I'm 7 weeks out and only down 11!

I'm 6 weeks out and have only lost 14 pounds! I'm not at the point where I can say I'm glad I've done it and I'm not really sick. It's just you do all this to your body and barely eat and I'm not loosing!!!! Crap!

I also had severe refux/Gerd & Barrett's Esophagus so I had not choice but to have the bypass. I was happy to hear that my Gerd will be gone but he wants me to stay on my aciphex for a year. I'm only 6 weeks out and this past week forgot to take it a couple of times, and I had heart burn and had to take a tums.

6 weeks out. I have no trouble eating. I'm only supposed to be eating 1/4 C of food at a meal, I haven't tried it but I bet I could easily eat 1 C! Does that mean something is wrong with my pouch? I also have absolutely no problems drinking fast. I want to barely be able to get 1/4 C of food down! On top of that in 6 weeks since my surgery I've only lost 14 pounds!

edamame: I come from a very small town and don't have a clue where to find this. Can someone enlighten me please? I've seen it mentioned several times. Thank you!

But do you drink Protein drinks in between your meals. If not, how do you get all your protein in. Or do you use a Protein Drink as a meal?

Maybe I need to slow down on my eating. I don't eat slow because it doesn't hurt but I guess that's not the purpose to eat slow, maybe I'll actually feel full. My Dr. emphasized I only need to eat 1/4 C until the 6 month period and then I can up it to 1/2 C.

Went to my 6 week checkup today. I've only lost 20 pounds, the doctor said that is slower than normal (Oh Yay) I haven't been exercising but I'm going to start. I do get my Protein and Water in.

I'm 6 weeks out. I have no problem swallowing, I can easily eat 1/2 C of food and probably 1 C but I stop myself. Went to the doctor today and she told me most people have trouble even getting 1/4 C down. I'm just curious what other programs promote. I realize I need to follow my doctor's instructions. What makes it worse is that in 6 weeks I've only lost 20 pounds....

When I have an upset stomach, pepto bismo has always been my go to. But it has NSAID in it, so what do you use?

I take a premier Protein vanilla shake, add 1 t. vanilla, 1/2 t. rum, and sprinkle nutmeg, Shake it all up and YUM! I think it would be better if I could find liquid nutmeg but my small neck of the woods, I can't find it! The colder it is the better it is!

I'm 6 weeks out.

I understand, sometimes I wonder that myself!

I did something similar. I took a vanilla premier Protein Shake and added a splash of rum extract, spash of vanilla and nutmeg. Not bad!

I'll admit I feel like i've had a petty easy time so far. I've never had any food stuck. Had foamies a couple of times but I've seen various posts. Some say most everyone dumps and other's say just a certain percentage dump? So I want to do a survey....

If you are able, without it hurting, to drink fast, is it okay to do so? I find myself gulping and it doesn't hurt but I was wondering if there was another reason for not drinking fast? Thanks!
