Stacey-July 2018

You look great! Did you do anything specific to help tone your arms? I have big arms and I don't want them to be flabby. Your arms aren't flabby at all!

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy and I understand the lack of sympathy! I am five weeks from surgery and have been at a plateau for the last three weeks. If I hear one more person say maybe you need to change your diet, add more exercise, or maybe that's just the right weight for your body, I am going to lose it! I had weight loss surgery, it is going to take more than two weeks of weight loss to get my body to the "right weight". I am exercising 5 days a week and I have increased and decreased my calorie intake as instructed with no better results.
I read the comment about the plant based Protein, I had to switch to a vegan protein and it really helped. It seems I am now lactose intolerant and my stomach gets upset every time I eat dairy. I am using vegan protein and trying to drink Fairlife milk for the protein. It has helped with the nausea. It does seem like each week there is some kind of new problem with eating. I had a bit of a breakdown yesterday too so I understand!

I had my surgery on the 9th and I am eating soft foods. I am eating pretty much any meat and just making sure it is juicy. I have been eating vegetables some too, but that's about it. All of the sugar free stuff makes me feel nauseous now so I'm not having any of that anymore.

I just talked to the nurse practitioner at my doctor's office who said she thinks my body is in starvation mode because I'm not eating enough calories. She said I should have around 800/day and I've been around 500. I have been trying to be so good and stick to no carbs, high Protein, and low calorie that I guess I'm not getting enough. I don't know if that's the problem but she suggested I bump up my calories intake and I should start losing again. I thought I would share and hopefully it will work.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I had my surgery on 7/9 and I felt exactly the same way the first week. Sometime during the second week it gets easier. It seems like you are able to intake a little more Fluid at a time. That first week your sips are so tiny that you aren't getting anywhere near the amount of fluid you are supposed to have.

Thank you! That makes me feel so much better! I will search for other posts.

It had not crossed my mind t hat I could be allergic to the Protein, but now that I have investigated it a bit, I bet that's the problem. What did you use instead of the whey protein isolate?
