I ate something yesterday that did not agree with me! I had 2 plain chicken wings, and the came back up almost as quick as they went down. I have only thrown up a few times, but after this time I had some discomfort and pain below and between my breast (is that where my pouch is?). I also felt very nauseous for about 12hrs. Is it normal to have pain or discomfort after vomiting?

Also, I am 4 weeks post op and stalled on my weight loss too. I get 70+ Protein a day. I see my nut and Dr thursday, is it possible to get to much protein?

And 1 more question. Is anyone else having trouble sleeping? I have terrible insomnia. I have tried tylenol pm, melitonin, and muscle relaxers, and I still can't sleep. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

E

My nutritionist said it was okay to be over on Protein. I was at 91 one day. I haven't dumped yet, but do you think you may have dumped from it? I'm one month out. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I have had a terrible time sleeping. I also seem to get restless legs or for that matter my whole body! I have to get up several times and walk around and stretch.

My nut said not possible to get too much protein on a 400-500 cal diet/day. She said once your up to 800-1000 cals a day then you need to watch protein intake.

Are you working out? I haven't been on a stall since working out. I walk at a minimum of1 hour on the tread mill / 5days a week. Much of the time it is 1hr45min. Yes I am on the extreme side of it, the working out I guess but since I moved from losing .5 pounds per day to 1 a day.

Haven't thought about those calories so haven't been counting. Something to consider though because some of those are 25 - 50 per dose.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
