Hi everyone' date=' so I am 5 weeks out and always nauseous mornings are the worst for me, it does come and go! Anyone else experience this?[/quote']

I am nauseated a lot too. Ill be four weeks on Wednesday. Im not eating or drinking nearly enough.

Does anyone use Viactiv calcium chews? My liquid calcium is so yucky after surgery.

Chew chew chew and don't take both together! I learned the hard way that I could not pop a whole one in in one bite like I could before.

AMEN!!! I keep telling people nourishment has become my full time job!!

Surgery: 6/5/2013

You are not alone I had my gastric bypass 6/11/13 and I am having a real hard time getting my liquid in and I am very picky about what I want to eat.

Ugh. I keep eating too much and get this awful full feeling. I'm nervous that I'm stretching my pouch. I only had 1.5 ounces of meatballs and I feel like I'm going to bust.

I feel like I am not eating enough. I have had two times of eating too much and throwing up, and I never want to do that again! Of course, I keep reading if we don't get in all of the Protein and the food, then we won't lose weight and may lose our hair. It makes me so nervous! I want to succeed on this new life, but I have failed so many times before.

I said all that to say, I understand. haha. I feel full even when I take one bite. I have been forcing myself to eat a little more the last two days. I only saw a loss of 2 pounds last week. It's frustrating!

I haven't even gotten all my protein in today. I plan on having my protein Popsicle in a little bit and that will only put me at 41 grams. I haven't lost a lot of weight this week either but I also have my "friend" so I'm thinking that's why. I think I have to start drinking a shake in the morning. Otherwise I don't know how to fit it all in.

I think I got about 30 grams in today. I am really praying that I get better at the protein. I need to add a shake in the morning as well. I am just sick to death of sweet stuff. (never thought those words would come out of my mouth! ) I try to eat the protein, but it feels like it grows in my mouth as I chew.

It's so hard!!!

Greek yogurt, eggs and cheese have been my savior. The shakes are so yuck.

Only way I can handle them is plain greek yogurt, splash of skim milk, handful of fruit and a half scoop of Protein Powder all dumped in the blender.

I don't care for greek yogurt, but I have found if I do it that way in a blender it is tolerable. I made meatloaf the other day and packed it with oatmeal. It was really yummy, but now the leftovers are tasting nasty to me. I can eat eggs, but after a couple of bites and the chewing.... it doesn't taste so good anymore. I have started telling myself that I still have to eat it, but this makes me nervous, because I don't want to throw up.

I guess we just keep moving forward at our own paces each day. i just don't want to mess up things this time around like I have on every diet I have ever been on

Okay... enough whining! Thanks for listening.

I can now see how some people become anorexic after this surgery

I just said the same thing to my husband. I also read a thread about it on the post op forums.
