I was sleeved July 9... But since surgery I have lost 23 lbs the last time I weighed myself. My issue is that since surgery I have been dealing with my uncles illness. He has stage 5 colon cancer and has been moved to Hospice. Since he has been moved I have been staying in the house with him and it had totally messed up my meals. This was very short notice so I couldn't plan. The food here is nothing of what I can eat and all the stores carry are muscle milk light. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get back on my plan once I leave. I don't know what to do and I am afraid that what little I have had so far will stretch my stomach out again

What is your surgeon's plan? I would look at that, figure out what week you are post op and follow it.

If you will be there for awhile, can you get some Protein drinks from costco, Sam's or Wal-Mart. Another option might be to order some online from Amazon and do quick shipping?

Sorry to hear about your uncle and hope he does not suffer too much.

I am on solid foods already so I can eat about anything

I have 2 Protein shakes but I may need to get more. This has been a bit of a curve ball for me so its becoming hard to deal with focusing on me and my uncle

it must be emotionally draining with your uncles health situation

some/many (me too) NEWBIES think they can stretch their tummy

99.999999% of "us" know thats not gonna happen per NUT/surgeon

you don't know how long you will be at your uncles - eat the best you can

i see you are on solids, but might?? be hard to cook in a strange area???

buy yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein shakes - easy stuff like that

baby bel cheese - some fruit

whatever works for you at this time

once you are home, you can go back to complete basics if you fear you overdid

good luck

Thanks Kathy..... My biggest fear was stretching my stomach out again. I left for two days and was able to get back on my plan and do my workouts but now I know to plan accordingly.
