Hi Everyone! So after surgery I became extremely lactose intolerant ???? I can no longer drink Premier Protein or use gene pro whey Protein. I can't eat cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese of any kind...so basically getting in protein is getting very difficult because I'm not much of a meat eater. Do you guys have any suggestions? This morning I had one scrambled egg white filled me up but that's only 6 grans of protein. On average, I get maybe 30-40 g of protein a day.

I need advice. I'm a little over one week post op from vsg surgery. I'm currently on full liquids and will start pureed foods next Tuesday but I have a problem. I'm constantly hungry and I'm only one week post op?! I will feel full on 1/2 of full liquid foods but an hour later I'm hungry. My program allows three meals no snacks. I've heard and read people saying saying they didn't feel hungry 3 to 6 months post op. Is there something wrong with me? I feel my surgeon didn't do the procedure right! I also thought I wasn't getting enough water in but I'm drinking 64 Oz of water a day. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

HI everyone. I'm late in the game but I also had my surgery 2/9. Everything seems to be going well. Gas pains ate harsh. I'm also having weird heart pains randomly, I'm assuming it's also gas pains but will follow up with my pcp on Tuesday. No bm and I can't feel the restriction yet just stopping when I feel satisfied.

Totally in!

Totally agree! My surgery is scheduled Feb 9th and fir the past week I've been eating nonstop. Tomorrow I start the clear liquids diet. Wish you all the best in your journey.

Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie here. I started the process for surgery on 6/25/15, I had my initial consultation and nutritionist appt. It's been a looonnngg process, as many of you know. But I finally have heard back from my insurance and my surgery has been approved for Feb 9th!!! I'm having my surgery at the University of Minnesota with Dr Leslie. I've been attending the support group they offer since June/15 to interact with other wls people. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I know this will be a big change and a tool I have to utilize to be successful! I'm excited to get to interact with all of you......my only fear is, what if I'm not successful? What if it doesn't work for me? I've been trying to lose weight for the past 9 months and have lost 60 lbs but my weight has not changed for the past two months. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried counting my calories and macros. I have even switched up my eating and exercise routine. If I can't lose weight now, what if I can't lose weight after having surgery?
