Thanks everyone, I'm hoping it will get better with time... As I said... I Love meat ?

Thanks! ?

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!! ?

Stay strong... ?

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.. ?

You're doing Great! Blessings on your surgery ?

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! ?

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! ?

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! ?

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 ?

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 ?

Khaleesi ? I agree...

Well I never went to a fast food place for the quality ingredients lol..?

I just bought an Air Fryer. (GoWiseusa brand $89) different sizes, diff prices I got a larger one ... Works great.. Cooks food at a very high temp, very fast, in a sm space.. Check out on Amazon and read customer reviews.. Some have provided photos... I made hot wings today used no oil, or breading, just seasoned, came out crispy just like from the pizza joint.. ?

Thanks everyone.. I am so lost and confused.. I'm hungry all the time! I was looking forward to less of an appetite.. not more! ?

Huh? Please explain... I didn't understand that..?

How do I know how much protein is in an item? I don't eat any bread, rice, or pasta... I'm not losing much weight... 16 lbs in 7 wks...

I made several meal plan changes pre surgery. I stopped drinking any soda, juices, or liquid calories... Haven't had any junk food or sweets.. But... Post surgery I have been hungry! I wasn't this hungry on my pre op liquid diet! I am 8 wks post op, I eat 3 meals of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mostly protein some veg.. 1 snack... Drinking has been hard only up to 50oz per day ? .. Not much weight loss... 16 lbs .. Why am I so hungry?? I was led to believe the opposite.. That my appetite would be less.. Any advice?? ?

I snack on pork rinds... Tasty, crunchy, all protein, no carbs.. ?

OMG! You're telling my story... Week one I couldn't take it either.. I would chew food and spit it out.. I'm sorry if this was the wrong approach but it got me thru! I found that after tasting and chewing, I was satisfied! I didn't even want to swallow it.. Just needed to taste and chew ... So I feel your pain.. You're not in this alone.. This is the first time for most of us.. Don't beat your self up, just learn whatever lessons you can along the way ?

I would like info re: low carb vs low calorie... In the past I have found that eating a low carb meal plan worked best for me... But my surgical team and nutritionist only advise low calorie meal plans... So I can't get any how- to advise from them. Has anyone tried low carb? Any advise?? ?
