I think I'm not realizing when I'm full and I'm going too far. I measured all the food I'm taking to work today. And I puréed chili in the food processor. Maybe something thinner will go down better.

Yeah, thinner food is better, good luck.

Just an FYI- I found an App for counting my Protein. It cost $3.99, but so far its worth it for me.

I've been using My Fitness Pal but ignoring how many calories it thinks I should eat.

Thanks. Hope it works out. Have some cottage cheese for lunch and the chili for dinner. Figure I can't under chew those.

It's called Protein Track. It has a red background with a man showing muscles. I wish it had a scanner for food, but it does let you create a food so you can add anything you can't find.

I am 2 and a half weeks out. I started food on Monday. So far everything is going well. I am not really good at guessing if I am full or not. I just stick to weighing everything.

Ok. I think if I burp, I'm full. I ate about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and diced peaches. Burped. Stopped. Feel full but not uncomfortable like I have in the past.

So much for that. The 1/4 cup total of cottage cheese mixed with peaches? Yeah. That came back up. So, so far, I can eat scrambled eggs and yogurt. What the hell did I do to myself? I just wanna cry.

That is exactly how I felt yesterday. Yesterday was 6 days post op for me. My surgery was the 12th. I think my body is just not bouncing back as quickly as others. Mine was a revision surgery so I am chalking it up to that. Today is a bit better but I am still not completely on my game. I just feel off and a little tired and blah

That sounds delicious! Sorry you felt bad but the recipe sounds yummy. I'm usually a good cook but I have been getting hung up on the whole purée thing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
