I had a similar issue. My pain was because the surgeon had to repair a hernia when they did my surgery. It felt like a stabbing pain near my navel.

You have 2 choices: Keep waddling in your guilt or move past it and go forward. I'm 1 year out and I over ate and didn't eat the right things but I got up the next morning and it was a new day. I went to the gym and ate right. It'll be fine. Just don't keep doing it.

Did you attend a Nutrition Class prior to surgery to know what foods your supposed to eat? I had to go through all sorts of classes that were required before I could have surgery. They gave us test that we had to pass and they gave us take home info. There are foods that are packed with protein that are very feeling. Its not too late to rewind and get back on track.

For sure my 2 favorite things since my surgery is the amount of energy I have. I ran for the first time since high school 24 years ago. SEX is another one......let's put it this way without saying to much, I feel like a teenager again! It's crazy that fat kept me from a wonderful fulfilled love life!

I'm not doing shakes anymore (thank God cause I hate em) but I start my day with Greek yogurt which has 14 grams of Protein, then according to my NUTRITION COACH, for every 1oz of meat I eat (chicken, Turkey, fish) [steak later on for you] it's about 8 grams of protein. Also with your meals eat your protein 1st. If you're eating 1/2 cup [4 oz] if you ate a 3 oz piece of turkey and 1 oz of lima Beans, that's about 30 grams of protein right there. That's breakfast of 14g for the yogurt, lunch 30g from the beans and turkey......your at about 45 grams for just those 2 meals. You could also drink low fat milk to get your protein in its about 8 grams of protein a well. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Sure do. I'd rather use the real stuff than the fake stuff. I know we have to watch our fat intake and calories but a little fat isn't going to hurt. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
