Anyone Else Like This At This Stage?

[missjenny 43]

I'am 13 weeks post opt. And for some reason all I can eat at the most is .8 oz-1.2oz three times a day.I thought by now we should be eating more. Or am I wrong?

I'am so worried I'm not getting enough Protein in and the Protein Shakes make me gag.

Have you told your doctor about this?? This is a serious issue, esspecially since you are so far out..you should be able to get in at least 4oz per meal...

[missjenny 43]

I have told them several times. They say as long as I'm getting one ounce I'll be fine. And eventually my stomach willl let me have more. But it worries me I had blood work today and all my chemistries where low. I go to the dr next week so will have to talk to them again. Thanks

I agree with PEvette. 1 oz per meal is not optimal. Are you mearuing that one ounce or you just feel it's about one ounce? You must be awfully tired too. Bless your heart!

Trust your body. If you keep having concerns and your doc is not taking them to heart, then maybe you need a new one or a second opinion.

I measure everything I even take my scale with if I'm not eating at home. I'am so tired all the time and feel so weak. Thanks for your input.

Sorry to hear you are having troubles. What shakes are you using? What do you despise about them? There are so many different flavors, tastes, consistencies, etc that I bet you could find one that doesn't gross you out.

The only one that I can sometimes tolerate is the EAS advant edge. I have tried Isopure, the New Whey and pure Protein shots. All those are totally disgusting and make me gag to the point of throwing up. I have also tried some of the BariWise shakes the flavoer is not to bad but are really sweet and give me a really bad stomach ache. So I just have to keep trying new ones I guess.

Try Isopure zero. It's zero carbs and 40 grams of Protein but it is NOT a shake. It tastes like watered down kool aid ( not as bad as it sounds ) comes in many flavors and is not heavy at all. The only one I don't like so far is apple melon. My dietician said 80 grams daily so these drinks take up half of that and you don't need to drink it at one sitting, you can sip throughout the day. However they can be pricy so look around in your area and online. Good luck!

I am growing weary of the shake drinking as well. Unjury makes an unflavored Protein Powder that I have used a lot lately. I add it to everything I eat. if you order it and are not pleased with it they will let u return it, even if the canister is opened. Good luck. I feel your pain.

I have read a lot of good things about unjury. I'm going to order some plus that is great that if I don't like it I can return it. That stuff isn't cheap than if you don't like it your stuck with it. Thank you!
