I have noticed that I am getting mild heartburn after eating meals...especially dinner. Anyone else experienced this? I am not taking any medication for this. Worried that it will get worse. Any suggestions?

Hi May 2018 sleevers! I hope you all are doing well. This year has flown by very quickly. I am down 80 lbs. and have just 20 more to my goal weight. Been following the diet, but am in a bit of a stall...Went to my surgeon my check-up, and he is very happy with my progress, but thinks I am able to lose more. Recommended visiting my nutritionist to see where I can cut calories and/or carbs. Would love to hear how you all are doing...

My nutritionist says 40-50 grams of carbs and 60-80 grams of protein. I have an Atkins shake for breakfast, 2-3 ounces of protein and 1/2 cup of salad at lunch, and Atkins shake in the afternoon, and 2-4 ounces of protein and 1/2 cup of veggies at dinner, plus a sugar free popsicle for a snack. That means I still need the 12 ounces of Gatorade to get all my carbs.

I actually found this book in one of the posts on this very site...Bariatric Mindset Success, by Kristin Lloyd, MS, LPC, LMHC. She went thru it herself, and has some great ideas. Check it out and good luck.

I am two months post-op with the sleeve. Getting all my protein, but carbs are hard to get unless I drink Gatorade everyday. I feel like I'd rather eat healthy carbs. How are you getting 40 grams of carbs?
