OK, I am a little over a month out. I am struggling getting in my Protein (aren't we all). So today I was determine to get at least 60g in my body. I had it all figured out.... so I thought. I had a can of tuna - which is on 3 oz of meat. I figured if I took an hour to eat it I could fit it all in and make that protein mark! Nope.... I was feeling what I believe if my new "full" ( I am still learning) but there was just one more bite left. I did it... I ate the one more bite... OOOOOOOPS...... Wont be doing that again! I thought it went down... but it just kind of sat there almost in my tummy. then that one last bite came back out! I didnt loose my whole lunch - just that one last bite - but... ugh what a horrible feeling and apin just before it came back out! Lesson Learned!!! DONT EAT THAT ONE LAST BITE! I am going to measure things out from now on too. 1/4 and no more!

I'm finding that nowadays I never never never finish what's on my plate. Such a huge change for me -- I always finished that last bite! Your experience is something I'll keep in mind next time I'm tempted :) I understand what you were trying to achieve, but boy oh boy that must have sucked!!!

As far as Protein -- I'm also just over 4 weeks out, and I'm still supplementing with Protein shakes to get my Protein in. The Syntrax nectar fruit ones are pretty light if you just mix them with Water -- not thick like other Protein Shakes ---- and they have 23 g of protein each serving! So if you can drink 4 to 6 oz of liquid, why not mix in those 23 g of protein?!?! I'm averaging 700 calories a day, and 80+ g of protein all in all.

My nails are growing like crazy....I guess it's from all the protein?

I'm almost 8 months out...and that last bite still usually ends up in me having the foamies.

I, too, am in the process of learning to stay away from that one last bite. It never ends well.

The second you feel satisfied you should stop, my step-mother recommended keeping a spray bottle of vinegar for a while to spray my plate when I felt that feeling so I wouldn't be tempted to try to keep eating it.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
