Sounds like a stress headache to me. My suggestions: Rest. Stretching. Exercise. Relaxation. Massage. A new job!

Thanks for the replyIf that is the case then what else shall i have instead of fresh juice ? Because I'm only having chicken broth , water and juice Is that all? How are you getting your protein? You would have to be drinking an awful lot of chicken broth.

Instead of juice try Syntrax nectar fuzzy navel or GNC Lean 25 orange cream. They satisfy the taste for juice for me and have lots of protein.

At 4 weeks post-op I was on soft foods, so in addition to rote in shakes I ate cottage cheese, geek yogurt, turkey, tuna, salmon, protein Soup, etc.

Have you talked to your NUT about your concerns?

It may sound flippant, but skipping the extra piece of bread is a good strategy. One thing that helps me is to minimize starches (bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, etc), added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods. Even cutting back on bread by trying an open-faced sandwich instead of a full sandwich is a good start.

The more specific you can be in the subject line the more it helps. I know so sometimes quickly scan the topics and if it looks like something I already read or answered I may not open it.

Make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and fluids.Take your Vitamins and supplements. sleep and take it easy. Don't push yourself. You just had major surgery. You are allowed to rest.

This is the one I used several years ago. It was helpful for a while. It helped me to get a handle on portion sizes, try some foods I wouldn't normally eat (like fresh fruit), and was pretty convenient. https://www.seattlesutton.com/

Does this get better? I don't know why not as long as you get enough nutrition. Eating enough is as important for losing weight as not eating too much. If you were sleeved in May, why aren't you eating enough protein? What is your protein target? Are you tracking your food? Are you getting at least 64 oz of Fluid a day?

Do your best to meet your Protein and Fluid goals and you'll be fine. Congrats on your loss.thanks i'm only getting 45 g of protein a day of the 60 they want Water is getting better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App The sooner you can get to your goal the better. Keep sipping like it is your job.

The combination of hormone fluctuations due to fat loss and an existing food addiction can be difficult. I agree that finding a good therapist can be extremely helpful. Your PCP is also a good person to talk to about finding some treatment options for your depression. You also may want to consider exploring attending bariatric support group meetings as well as a recovery group like Overeaters Anonymous to help you find healthy ways to cope without turning to food. You can find meeting lists and other resources online at OA.org.

Make a commitment to yourself to do everything you are asked to do, even if you think you can't. Get up and walk as soon as possible after surgery. Focus on getting in all of your protein and fluids. Sip, sip, sip. Stay off the scale!

Just focus on getting in all of your protein and fluids and stay off the scale!

Drink lots and lots of Water and absolutely no sugars or starches. Try drinking Protein shakes and no calorie liquids (especially water) between now and then. Good luck!

Congratulations!

What happens when you pinch the skin on the back of your hand and let go? Does it go back to normal or does it stay pinched? That is one indication of how dehydrated you are. The color of your urine is another.

I used a local meal delivery service years ago for a while when I live in Atlanta. It was expensive but pretty good. What I learned was that it is fairly easy to put together a nutritious meal. Just focus on a delicious, high quality protein and add a vegetable to make a meal post-op. Occasionally, add a piece of fresh fruit.

All I needed/used was: Lip balm Biotene spray Phone charger Pillow for the ride home Clean underwear (I wore home what I wore to the hospital) Heating pad The best thing I took with me was my mom!

You have my permission to throw it out the window!

Our bodies are complex systems, not simple machines. I highly recommend weighing infrequently. Weighing several times a day or even several times a week gives you no actionable information. Embrace the Stall http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall

You look great! For me, handsome and charming has nothing to do with size or weight and everything to do with how you treat yourself and others. Healthy self-confidence is a big part of it. Look at yourself in the mirror every morning, smile and say "I am handsome and charming." I bet you will start believing it pretty soon.

No, you can't stretch your sleeve with liquids.

Pre-op, getting enough protein was critical, but what was more important for my surgeon was that I had absolutely no starches. My pre-op diet was basically Adkin's phase one.

I've never had problems with spicy food.
