Vomiting without having ate anything
but i dont experience heartburn or chest pain, could it still be GRED? just feel nausea similar to the one i get after eating, and my stomach capacity is less. do i need to take my PPI pills everyday or only before meals? because my instructions say take twice a day before meals. but sometimes i go the whole day without eating so i dont take it.

OK guys maybe I’m just pessimistic (I stress maybe) but am I the only one who has found this surgery to be a complete B*TCH?!
i guess its different for everybody, i didn't feel much pain after i woke up, and when they discharged me, they gave me painkillers that i never had to use. but the guy next to me was CRYING and screaming for his life, he BEGGED the nurse for more painkillers. so i don't know.

Vomiting without having ate anything
i am 2 months out, and sometimes i vomit without having ate anything for a long time ( of course no real vomit/liquid comes out because my stomach is empty, but i still do it as if i were to throw up something) i hope you understood what i meant. i dont know if its my stomach enzymes filling it up or whats the deal. it happened 4 times so far

I am having a hard time getting my daily 80 gram of protein
i am disappointed at how much protein there is in some "high protein foods" like an egg has only 6g of protein, thats NOTHING, why is it considered "high protein"? same with lentils and beans (except red beans) and cheese i need 20-30g of protein per 100g of food, thats what i consider high protein

alright i will stop buying fruit salads, too bad the lentils, beans and tuna all make me feel nauseated after 1-2 spoons maybe i'll stick to liquid protein (shakes and Greek yogurt) for 1 more week.

i follow 4 week program: 1st week clear liquids, 2nd week full liquids, 3rd week mushy food, 4th week soft food. i don't count my protein intake but i try to at least eat one high protein meal per day ( tuna, protein shake, fish etc...) i don't think i hit 60 grams of protein most days. as for fruits, there is no mention of it in my nutrition booklet, but because fruit is soft i assumed its okay, and i didn't have any problem. i don't have a nutritionist or a doctor number, because i did my sleeve in a government hospital so there isn't much follow up and contact between patients and doctors/nutritionists, they give a you a booklet and send you home, but hey, at least its free

Hi, i was sleeved 2.5 weeks ago, started mushies in my third week, but usually i can not eat more than two large spoons of ANYTHING, but this fruit salad i downed in 10 minutes like it was nothing, this makes me question how my stomach works, i'm confused, are fruits just going right through me?
