Ok guys and gals, I need major food ideas. I'm feeling lost. Tomorrow ill be 5 weeks out. I feel like I eat more fattening food now then I did before surgery. My main food is mashed potatoes, hello carbs. Chicken, eggs, and refried beans make me sick. I tried oatmeal, i didn't get sick but it just felt really uncomfortable. Any kind of potato is really easy for me to eat which is annoying because its loaded with carbs. My sleeve likes cheese and yogurt but my taste buds hate yogurt these days. Anybody wanna give me a whole day of planned meals that don't include the things that make me sick and that don't include sweet food. I really don't like any sweet food and it takes everything to drink protein shakes cos the sweetness is gagarific. I've been stalled at a19 pound loss...Not too thrilled about that but i think it will get better if I can find variety. Thanks in advance and I'm sorry for the novel.

I was using almond milk but its kind of pricey. Someone told me soy milk can cause cancer so I don't wanna drink that. I want to cut calories as much as possible so maybe I'll just suck it up and stick to almond milk. How many calories should I be consuming at 5 weeks? I know everyone is different but I feel like I eat too much.

My RD said to focus more on protein than calories the first couple of months, but on average she said most people are getting about 600 calories during this time.

Ditto. My RD has me at 700-800 calories and 80-100 grams of protein per day. I'm almost 8 weeks out.

Are you still losing? I get 600-1000 cal a day (usually 800), 63-70 protein and 64-80 ounces if water and only lose 1-2 pounds a week. The first 2 weeks lost 12 pounds. I am in week 5 and still only 1-2 pounds a week for weeks I see my doctor next week but feel like I am doing something wrong. Not sure if I should cut out more calories or add a little more. It is confusing..

I like this recipe my nut gave me: 1 cup part skim ricotta add grated lemon peel, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Splenda packet. Mix it up and separate into 2 portions. I like this as a dessert. Good protein. I do like the eggface site. She has awesome recipes and she also recommends the SF Torani syrups which I hope to try soon. Maybe you could use the syrups with plain Greek yogurt to make it more appealing.

A few weeks back I hit a pretty big stall, then started losing inches, now I'm losing pounds again, but it's slow as well; however I feel this is my fault in a way. I've had the upper respiratory junk twice since surgery and its lasted almost 2weeks both times. I haven't been doing the exercise part like I should. Until now, I also haven't been tracking my calorie intake like I should. I plan to change all of that and be more structured. Hopefully I'll start losing better now especially since I feel so much better. And yes I agree, it's confusing and frustrating at times. Good luck!!
