You will in time. You're still swollen from surgery and eventually your intake will increase. Meanwhile, enjoy seeing the lbs come off

This is the whole point of the surgery; to have a small stomach. No one in the beginning is consuming alot of calories. I could easily get in 70-80 grams of Protein with 600-700 calories.

I am getting my Protein in mostly from shakes, yogurts, and gelatein. However, I have problems making it through my 3-4ozs of real protein from food. It takes about 45-60 minutes to finish a crab cake. Is anyone experiencing this?

You will work your self to that point. It doesn't sound like you are that far out. Protein drinks help too.

I am 3 months out and drink a Protein Shake for my morning meal, 35 grams. It really helps me get my Protein in.

I do the same. Even though I am on three soft meals, I have a shake in the morning to get that quick 35-50 grams of Protein in early on in the day. That way I reach my protein goals even if I have trouble getting in my mushies.

Par for the course, honey. It will get better. Right now, get in what you can and let those pounds come off. Your tummy will heal and you will eventually be able to eat more. Although it feels very strange, it is normal. :)

Question? I will be one week out since surgery. I am able to eat 1/2 cup of food is that too much?

I wasn't able to do that but everyone is different. Make that one cup of food really count ~~ make sure it is Protein. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
