You can also try drinking Smooth Move Tea. Most stores carry it in the tea section. It is a herbal tea that helps get things moving. I try to drink a cup every couple of days so I don't get backed up.

I too thought the weight would come off faster but I am more than pleased with what I have accomplished so far. I know I have quite a ways to go but so far so good One thing you need to consider too is that even when you are not dropping pounds you will still be dropping inches. During my "3 week stall" I didn't lose a pound but still lost inches so I did not give up hope. I just started at the gym a couple of weeks ago and see that working out really does make a difference in how I feel and the pounds that I lose per week. One thing to remember is every body is different so don't compare yourself to others just be proud of what you have been able to accomplish

I have never tried the Isopure so I don't know how they compare to the Premier. I make sure that I drink at least one shake a day to give me a good jump start on my Protein intake. Not sure what you can eat but I also eat the light greek yogurt that is another 12 grams of protein and tastes so yummy

For Protein try Premier Protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein per 11 oz serving. If you can get 2 shakes down through the day you will be good on your protein intake for the day. I like the chocolate ones but by hubby prefers the vanilla or strawberry.

I ate a lot of lentil Soup pureed with a scoop of unflavored Protein powder mixed in. One recipe I got off of here that was great was 1 small can of chicken 2 TBS of light ranch dressing 1 TBS of franks hot wings sauce(I used more sauce but I like things on the spicy side) and 2 TBS of blue cheese all pureed together it was like eating hot wings this was one of my favorite foods during that time. Another good one was fat free refried Beans, lean ground beef, salsa and a little bit a cheese pureed until like baby food.

I had the same issue as you I ended up having to use the fleet suppositories and milk of magnesia to get things moving per my doctor’s recommendation. I now drink a cup of smooth move tea every few days to try and stay regular.

I took a week off had surgery on 2/27 back at work on 3/9 I kind of wish I would have taken a couple more days off. I sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day and by the end of the first day I was tired and ready to go home. By Wed of that week I was good to go so in retrospect I should have taken a couple more days off. Oh well live and learn

I would call your surgeons office to check but I had pain for a good 2 weeks at my large incision site. It was not all the time it was more like when I moved the wrong way or bent too far over. When I called to ask the Dr about it the nurse said I was either pulling on a stich inside or I pulled a muscle but if the pain did not go away in a couple days to call back and by the next day it was almost gone. She said I could alternate hot and cold packs on it and that seemed to help. I don't know if this is the same as you but I would call the Dr. just to be on the safe side.

I was sleeved on 2/27/15, I have been out to eat with my family and enjoyed my grandsons birthday party. Going out to eat is just like before its just that I now order different food. My husband and daugher got hamburgers and I opted for scrambled eggs with cheese. I was still able to enjoy eating with them but I must say it was hard not to ask my husband for a small piece of meat off his burger because it smelled so good but I was still on the soft part of my post op diet so I couldn't The neat part was that I was able to eat my leftovers for 2 more meals so it really saves you your food budget. So far as food at my grandsons birthday party I just brought my own food and ate it while others were having pizza.

Spring Valley at Walmart has a sugar free chocolate calcium chew. 500 mg per piece so I only have to take 3 a day. The flavor is good it is almost like eating a tootsie roll They are a little on the hard side to find of the 4 stores within 40 miles of me only one carries them so I stock up when they have them. Oops had to edit the brand put the wrong name down

Thank you, I will have to try and incorporate more meat into what I am eating.

How are you getting 75 grams of protein in one day? What kinds of foods are you eating? I get between 35 and 40 and would really like to get closer to 70.

Your welcome it worked for me so I hope it works for you too. Keep us updated

The smell of food makes me sick to my stomach so I rarely get to the mashing of food because being around it makes me want to vomit. I am so sorry you are going thru this. I hope your Dr. can figure out what is going on and you are able to get some food down and keep it down.
