  1. How many grams/day is considered low carb for us?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. i once went 5 days without food, on water only and my body kept trying to throw up ?
  5. i did for 15 days as the doctor instructed now i am done with them
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Eating became a chore for me, its not enjoyable at ALL, its become this chore i have to do, and i barely can get 55-60 grams proteins a day how do you do it?
  9. these are not dollars ? its a different currency. it roughly costs about 4 dollars
  10. i bookmarked the link, the first app you linked isn't compatible with my device unfortunately, but i downloaded the fitnesspal one. thanks very much for your help and resources
  11. when will i be normal again? when will eating stop being a hard task? i don't mind the small quantities, i just hate wondering if the next bite will make me throw up
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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?
