What eating stage are you on? When I was at six weeks I was starting soft foods - I know every doctor is different, though.

For Protein, I had the HARDEST with Protein powders. I couldn't - and still can't (at over a year) - tolerate them. AT ALL. I've heard a lot of people had success with nectar and a few others. You really have to play around with them to find one that you like and can tolerate. If you go to health food stores or nutrition centers, a lot of times they'll have samples for sales, and some places will actually mix you a shake right there.

I hope I make it to five weeks without losing and hair or teeth! I'm 15 days PO and can't tolerate the Protein Shakes any longer. I did go to smoothie King and tried a kids size smoothie with Protein in it. I did get most of it down but towards the end of it, it got hard to tolerate. Ive tried grits, oatmeal, quoina, soups..... I want to chew on something so I even tried rice crisps. The sea salt ones helped but there's really no nutritional value in them. I need protein cause I'm really feeling weak and tired everyday.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
