How much did it weigh? That's what I've been going on. I don't go over 4 ounces right now but I am really early in. I stay around 2 or 3 ounces typically.

I don't have a food scale yet so no idea. Guess that needs put on the pay day shopping list.

I got my digital scale on Amazon for 10 dollars. They are pretty cheap. It is easier for me to weigh stuff than have to dirty up measuring spoons and cups.

I was also able to eat a whole 5.6 oz yogurt which freaked me out. Everyone said "Three bites and you'll be full." Nope.

Yogurt is semi liquid. It doesn't fill you up as much as things like chicken.

Thanks! So far so good. I'm kind of sad that I had that interview for the promotion on Monday because I would have stayed home longer, but I know deep down that I was feeling good enough to come back anyway. Lol I just miss being home.

Hey all. I think I overdid it yesterday. Was feeling pretty normal so I was up and about all day long. Well, around 7 pm my stomach was really hurting. I couldn't really get my Protein Shake down. Just felt kinda miserable. So I took some pain meds and gasx and went to bed. We really have to listen to our bodies, and not push ourselves to the point where we are hurting ourselves. So my hubby fussed at me a little...I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it easy today.

It is true we have to listen to our bodies. (Yawn!) I just woke up from a lovely nap! Don't push too much.

I haven't had any trouble drinking 4-5 ounces at a time. Well today I tried a 9 ounce drink - hot Water and Unjury chicken Soup. Went down with no problem but now two hours later I'm miserable. No vomiting, but just uncomfortably bloated. I guess I pushed the pouch too far. Lesson learned. :-(

I drink like a normal person and forget to consider the pouch. And it hurts til it comes out.

      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! 😞
