Am I doing this right am I broken?
Jelani replied to It'sAlbright's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was going to suggest soup as well as patience like everyone else. Good luck and be kind to yourself. -

weight plateau and energy loss
Jelani replied to Rachael101's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So glad to see this topic because I'm at 7 weeks and this past week I hit that plateau for the first time. Really tried to adhere to diet since I noticed but haven't checked scale in a few days and probably won't for another few. I'm sure the body does a lot of adjusting to the substantially lower caloric intake. -
well only have another month or so and I'm not having that many issues now... but I'll keep the nutritionist in mind for that appt

Hey I had gastric bypass for reflux (5/13/22) as I was just on the side pushing it for weight loss too. Is anyone else here for this reason? Also, because I didn't go through the normal bariatric process beforehand, I don't know what the follow-up should look like either. I saw my surgeon 2 weeks post op and now not til 3 months with nothing in between. No nutritionist, no therapist, no nothing. Is this common?

Just listen to your body!

Hitting Post Op Protein & 64 ozs Fluids
Jelani replied to Crisscat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I struggle with the liquid intake too. Try to supplement with soups and 2 protein shakes if I can instead of just one (so let's call it 1 1/2 a day) but it is still very hard for me. -
What about soups? I'm 6 weeks out and can pretty much eat anything right now but for some reason tomato soup is my go to (aside from varying the flavor of the protein shake I'm drinking). But definitely talk with your team, seems pretty restrictive to me. I wish you lots of luck!

Just had my first handful of popcorn (microwave popped). The popper itself makes so much that I'm glad I had my daughter to eat most of it but boy was it good. That and pizza are my two favorite things to eat. Haven't had the pizza yet tho.

So glad it is working for you!

Protein powder that’s not whey or collagen but also isn’t grainy and tastes good
Jelani replied to Autumnrayne's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Autumnrayne I hear you on the feeling of nausea and bloated from whey based protein. I live on gas-x right now so i'd be curious if you've found anything that works for you. -
Thank you all for your comments. I was feeling a little lost and stranded by my surgeon and am just trying to figure out how much I can eat at one time. I still don't fully recognize fullness cues and am so so so struggling with no liquid until half hour after. OMG!
