I'm allowed artificial sweetner. What exactly are you having a hard time with? I have yet to be hungry and have to force myself to drink.

I can't have artificial sweeteners either, they give me a Migraine.< /p>

If you're looking for Protein drinks, Jay Robb has some that use Stevia, which I CAN use.

You were not given a food list ? Go to Endobariatric on fb and dr Alvarez has his food list there for every stage. Does that help?

Question for post op people... I had surgery on 10/15. Lost a bunch then stopped immediately when I started my full liquids. I've been logging on My Fitness Pal and I I've gotten the Protein in but I'm only taking in maybe 690 calories per day. I looked through my info from my Nutritionist and don't see any listing of calories per stage, just a list of protein/water requirements. Am I eating too few calories so my body is in starvation mode?? Starting puréed stage today, so maybe my body may react differently... I'm 44 years old... Anyone have particular success in a specific calorie range?

I am only getting in around 500 per day and I'm still losing. Surgery date 10/15 down 35 now. Lost 1 lb overnight last night. Maybe keeping in the 500-600 range 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.
