    I've always been against the idea of 'a calorie is a calorie is a calorie' as an idea because certain foods affect you completely differently. With that in mind it doesn't surprise me you're seeing these results. Have you seen the documentary 'fed up'? It explains it quite well too. I think it's much more important to eat 'clean', or as non-processed as you can manage. If you're eating massively over calories then you'll still have a problem, but they're not my main concern.

    The throwing up hasn't happened to me, but I have had times where an hour of having something I've had to run to the toilet. Usually it's with milk (I'm not lactose intolerant, I can handle cheese, yogurt etc buy milk just doesn't like me, i've has to switch to soy). Could it be there was something in the sauce, or that it was too fatty? Your stomach tolerance can change day to day, but keep an eye on this and if ut repeats go talk to your doc.

    I was sleeved on Feb 2nd and was in hospital for a week (just the standard time for my surgeon). During that first week we were focusing on hydration and getting me to sip all day, not on Protein, as hydration was really important. But when I left they told me to focus on Protein and Water, so could it simply be because you're not far out? Now you're home you should try and get protein in for sure. If you haven't been given a target you can use the formula:

    Weight (in kilograms) x 0.8 = your protein needs.

    Then see what your doc says when you see him again.

    I'm in my third week too, and it's hard to get a lot in I agree, but your stomach has been through a trauma, it's hunger signals can't be trusted right now. It's not going to tell you when it needs food. I'm currently eating 5 times a day, maybe 70g Protein for three of them, and then two Protein shakes. The first day I was on mush I could only manage 40g. When you've eaten enough you'll feel it just behind your chest, don't push it after that. Protein Shakes will not stretch your sleeve.

    Be sensible, you can't possibly expect the right results if you're not following your program, anymore than you could expect pills to cure a sickness if you weren't taking them.

    I'm in my third week and have been on mushy food for a few days and I get the same. My suggested portion size is 80-100g, but I can currently only get about 60-70. I think you're possibly trying to eat a little too much, as I frequently have that feeling when Im done to show a bite too many. Eat slowly and wait between bites (I use a toddler fork to make sure they are small) so you can register when the feeling starts so you can stop eating. Remember the portion guideline is exactly that, a guideline, you may not be ready for the full amount yet.
