  2. Thanks everyone, I'm hoping it will get better with time... As I said... I Love meat ?
  3. Is anyone having trouble digesting meat? Whenever I eat even a small amount of meat, fish, tuna,or eggs I feel terrible! Like I've been punched in the chest! I can't even swallow chicken... I start feeling nauseated as soon as I taste it. I don't have problems with ground beef if it's in chili or stew.. This really disturbs me, I love meat!! ?

  8. How much protein, calories, and carbs are recommended? There should be a consensus! I see everyone on this site with a different daily amount.. I asked my surgical team, including the nurse and nutritionist, and they all say not to count calories, or carbs or protein! Just eat a balanced meal of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal and I will be okay.. I prefer to follow a high protein, low carb meal plan... Apparently they haven't heard of this.? Advice.. ?
  9. You're doing Great! Blessings on your surgery ?
  10. Whew! I don't know how you all did it! 2 wks pre op??? My surgeon has a 3 day liquids only... Any liquids.. Soda, juice, etc. I thought that was hard! ?

  13. From your mouth to my body! I hope it picks up! I was supposed to have the RNY Bypass... But I'm thinking they played me and just stuck some holes in my abdomen! ?

  16. I have the same experience! I've been hungry since 2 days post op! Now I'm 2 months out and can eat denser protein it's better... But I was led to believe my hunger would be gone.. Not increased! ?

  21. I don't know if it's " normal " .. But I was ravenous! I thought I was gonna scream uncontrollably. or eat something I shouldn't... ? it does get a little better as your meal plan includes more choices... In the meantime, force yourself to drink until hunger goes away .. Good luck! ? P.S. don't watch food commercials ?
  22. I feel the same... 8 wks only 16 lbs lost! ?... I feel like I should have just stayed on the weight loss plan I was doing before surgery.. Better results.. No force feeding myself water every 15 min! Ugh!... Well hope I feel different in a while ?
