My nutritionist said to wait 6 months to eat bread

I have made chicken salad with Greek yogurt, apple and celery. I found Joseph’s reduced carb, high Protein pita bread at BJs (I think it’s just over $3/20 pcs) and each pita/wrap is only 60 calories. It’s got flax, oat bran and whole wheat flour and tastes good.

This is tmi but I literally just threw up after about 45 minutes of eating less than 1 whole scrambled egg. It was just sitting in my chest(at least that’s what it felt like) I used to be able to eat a full egg scrambled with no problem. Last night, I had the same thing with some chicken that I’ve had no issue with before. I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t get a lot of drink down either. I have a virtual 6 week appointment tomorrow. Will bring it up then.

This is so weird cos I started feeling like I have a rock on my chest if I eat more than half a cup of Soup or more than 1/4 cup of solid food. I don’t hv any issues with all the foods but the quantity is miniscule and definitely e rock goes from chest to tummy and leads to being stuck 😭

Struggling to get in all my Protein. I can’t seem to tolerate the shakes since surgery. They don’t stay down very well and taste awful now. What is everyone else doing to get enough Protein? Any good recipe ideas?

I hate sweet drinks so bought unflavored whey protein (Unjury, Isopure, etc) mixed with Water and broth. Tastes like a weird Soup but better than the sweet stuff. If you can’t tolerate whey, try other forms of protein. Good luck.

So glad to hear this. Am 7 weeks out and feeling uninspired being quarantined inside 😫

Wait. Where does it say that I lost that much. Those may be stats from when I had my lap band years ago. I’ve since had it removed. I’ve lost 30.

Just looking at the stats on the side under yr profile, I had a bit of a shock and wasn’t sure how you did that 😂😂😂 I’m going corona-crazy! Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be a smartass, just wanted to know if it was real and if so how....

I don’t like sweet things and found it terribly hard to deal with ready made shakes. I like Premier Protein’s vanilla but do add ice and mix it with an immersion blender. I do add an extra cup of almond milk so it cuts the sweet a bit. I found Unjury and Isopure unflavored whey Protein mixed with some Water then added to broth for a ‘soup’ a life saver. My local butcher saves his chicken bones for me and I make Bone Broth from them in a crock pot. Love the Cheesies recommendation. Will go look. Thanks.

I had my sleeve on 2/4/20& lost 45 pounds from start weight of 285 BUT I keep sneaking kettle chips ☹️ I try hard to drink lots of Water and herbal teas and stay on my approved foods but my husband has a bag of chips I keep swiping a chip from and I so mad at myself🥺

I also had the sleeve in TJ in February. How have you been doing?

Did you really lose 121 pounds in 7weeks? I started at 285 and thought I was good losing 40 pounds...feeling like a failure now ☹️
