Not Eating Enough...never Thought I'd Hear That!

Went for my one month post-op appt yesterday and my surgeon said that i'm not losing as much as i could because he doesnt think i'm taking in enough calories and my body is in starvation mode. This is such a weird adjustment to my life!

      Sometimes i think this group is helpful but other times i think reading it adds to my frustration bcuz everyone has different advice/instructions from their surgeon and nutritionist.

    The main thing I've done is to double the scoop in my pshake...so mixing it with 8oz soy milk I it gives 52 g of protien...i split that into 2 different servings..1 in the a.m. for bfast and 1 later in the evening as a late night snack. I haven't done much as far as trying alot of new combinations, I've been keeping things simple...i might have refried Beans and add a slice of a lf cheese, or just plain canned chicken,..I've been sticking with simple higher protien without allot of hoopla! If you do d scoop your pshakes keep in mind your body can only process about 30g at a time so it had to be spaced out
