Thanks!! Any little bit helps' date=' I'm gonna be scared first time I eat lol[/quote']

I make a Protein Shake out of whey Protein and vanilla almond milk. The almond milk has only 30 calories for 8 ounces. I have also discovered DaVinci syrups. They are on the internet. They are sugar free, carb free and calorie free. This evening I had a chocolate protein shake with the almond milk and some banana Syrup. It was tasty and helps with a sweet tooth. The syrups can also be added to coffee. Good luck. That's my best tip today.

I have had a pretty bad morning too! I had my revision on 7/21/13. I must say today I have been so nauseous I cannot keep my fluids down. I haven't thrown up yet but the nausea feels as bad as the moment I woke up from surgery...any tips?????

Im sorry you're feeling bad, did your doc prescribe Zofran? It really helps with the nausea.

Yes I'm on Zofran and Phenergan. I talked to the office NP today and they are really concerned I'm not getting enough calories or liquids in... Now they are talking about a possible admission for IV fluids :(

I get most from food. I occasionally have a shake made with instant coffee or with frozen fruit/yogurt. My NUT said to not have more than 45g carbs a day.

I had to go to the hospital 4 days in a row for liquids, they didn't hospitalize me but they did send me home everyday with an iv though. I hope it works out, keep us posted, oh have u tried sugar free popsicles?

I am just past 7 weeks - will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. My clinic has a very limited eating plan - at least compared to what I read many are eating here. I am to get between 50 - 60 grams of Protein and at least 68 ounces of Water. I am told not to pay attention to calories, but I am usually just over 300 a day. I am only allowed 3, 1/4 cup meals a day with no Snacks. I split a 30 gram Protein Shake, half in the morning and half at night. I have found an easy lunch to be a low fat mozzarella string cheese stick. I would recommend contacting your NUT and finding out their recommendations.

Same here, my clinic in the beginning wants us to concentrate on protein and water, we not counting calories right now.

I looked at your diary and I would suggest increasing how many calories you take in each day. Each time I've had a stall I would increase by about 100 calories for a while and I would start losing again pretty quickly. If your body goes in to starvation mode it will start storing fat instead of losing it.

Hope this helps!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
