Yesterday I had my first peanut powder smoothie with some yogurt and a banana. This morning I have had the worse stomach ache of my life, and it's accompanied by fainting spells and vomiting. The pain is so great that I come extremely close to completely passing out and falling onto the floor. Sorry about this next sentence: I have diarrhea, but I about kill over while I am sitting on the toilet. And, I'm throwing up while I'm sitting there, all at the same time! Has anyone experienced this from using the peanut powder, or have any idea what's going on with the fainting? I do not feel like it's the flu in any way. i hesitate in calling my doc because I don't want to cause any waves in my getting the surgery. Thank you so much for your replies.

My surgery isn't until December. All I can suggest is to keep focusing on how good it is going to feel when you get the weight off. Easier said than done, I know. Hang in there. It will be worth it. ?

I am now keeping a food journal of what I eat. I am eating around 1000 calories a day, about 54 protein, 66 carbs, 23 fat. I've cut out the banana and yogurt. Oh my goodness. I AM prepared for rough patches. I know and have experienced rough patches. Not losing weight after two weeks has NEVER happened to me before. I was down and needed encouragement and advice, not criticism.

Oh, thank you so much! Just what I needed to hear! ?

Do you have a copy of what exactly was said in the previous documents? Perhaps your PCP can a write a letter stating that you don't have an eating disorder.

How wonderful that you're going to have the surgery! I, too, am just starting out so I'm excited for you! Here's wishing you the best of success!

I can't imagine life without coffee!! ?????

Works for me! ? I hope my doctor will allow it.

Thank you for this!! I think I'll wait until my next appointment before I give up coffee! Yea! There's a chance! ?

Oh, thank you so much!

Thank you, Kathy. I think everyone needs to be reminded that they, too, were just beginning. Also, we cannot compare situations when we do not know the circumstances, and some of us have made the decision to not disclose everything about ourselves. I look to my doctor for any "tough love" that may be needed, not a forum. And, as a newbie, I believe the gentleman's comments were harsh, assuming, and unwarranted. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement.

Thank you for your encouraging words!! I'll start the water. I haven't been drinking near that much! ❤️

Thank you for the great advice!! I had already given up carbonated drinks, but I did not know about the coffee.

Thank you so much. I have been on a high protein, low fat diet of my own. I have my first nutritionist visit in a week. Thank you for your encouragement!

Thank you very much for this information! I have my first visit with the nutritionist in a week so maybe I'll learn more about this. ?

Thank you for this!! ?

Great idea! I think I'll do that, too! ?

Great things to think about! It will be so wonderful to buy some cute clothes for a change. "Does a fish have a fat tail?" ?????. I love that one!!

Thank you, and I'll be praying for you tomorrow!

I'll look into thistle milk!! Thank you! ?

I'm happy for you!! ?

Will do. I'll start making a journal so I'll know how much protein I'm getting. Thank you so much! ?

I will check out your posts for sure! I agree in that I am scared to even cheat. Thank you for your encouragement. ?

I'm on a high protein, low fat diet....of my own making. i eat a protein bar for breakfast, cottage cheese and a salad for lunch, and chicken or tuna with vegetables for dinner. Some days I will have a smoothie consisting of no fat yogurt with a banana. i have used this in the past, and lost weight very quickly.

Thank you so much. It helps to know that others understand. I am so sorry that you were fired, and hope you found an even better position. Perhaps I should wait and weigh myself at my doctor's appointments only. That may be my answer. I do want this so much, and am trying so hard. Thank you again! ?
