Confused

[Ms. Monique 2]

Ok here's my dilemma :at 10am I had 8 oz of orange juice then around 11:30 or 12 I started on 11oz of Protein , vomited frothy substance then around 5:30 I got 1/2 cup Greek yogurt started feeling really full then I was hungry again so around 9:30 I started on the rest of the Protein Shake and only took a couple of sips before that really full feeling came back and I'm throat feels full but I'm hungry still!!

it sounds like you may be having heart burn/acid reflux. are you taking anything for that? i wasnt vomitting but before i got my stomach acid under control i used to feel hungry a lot. i started being afraid my sleeve wasn't working. once i started taking my prilosec and the acid died down i didnt feel hungry anymore.

my nutritionist reccomended i eat/drink 2 to 4oz every 30 minutes all day. that also helps me feel full since i'm on full liquid diet and the only things i eat are still liquidy in nature, like yogurt or pudding.

i'm wondering, have u been cleared for o.j? that has a lot of acid in it and i know some people havent even had wls have trouble stomaching o.j. my nutritionist says i should be having apple juice or sugar free crystal light, no o.j. maybe limiting your intake or diluting it with Water will help.

these are just tips based on my experience. u definately should follow up w/a doctor.

first off, how far out from surgery are you? your page is a bit sparse.

Second, Why did you drink (and how if you are post sleeve) 8 oz of OJ??? That is a lot of sugar. Protein first is the golden rule.

The froth is common and more often seen with lap band patients. I suspect the acid from the OJ may have contributed to the formation.

Your hunger can be from the lack of Protein intake. Always work on getting the protein shake down first. sipping the liquids slowly will allow you to take more in over time but you shouldn't take in more than 4 oz (your new stomach will only hold so much and the rest will sit in the esophagus till room is available in the tiny tummy)

The first 2 weeks after surgery it was just 4 ounces of Protein drink 3x per day and in between i sipped crystal light. Even now after 10 months I wouldn't attempt 8 ounces of oj. Too much sugar. Stay away from sugar juices not kind to your new delicate stomach. If you are still hungry try some Soup broth. Unjury makes a delicious Protein packed chicken Soup.< /p>

[Ms. Monique 2]

No I'm not in any pain , I'm just confused about what I'm able to try and how much of this and that should I have, just lost!

Where is the Unjury Soup located?

[Ms. Monique 2]

Sorry , I'm in Louisiana also

Where is the unjury Soup located?

Go to www.unjury.com. It might take a few days to get to you but I used the chicken soup and Protein powder for months after my surgery. It is filling yet easy on the stomach. If you order the Protein Powder shake you can make 1/2 portions at a time (4 ounces). There are no crazy questions- please turn to us for help and definitely get in touch with your doctor as soon as possible and ask for an eating plan. My surgeon gave me very specific lists of what I should be eating for the first year after surgery. Hope this helps

The Unjury Soup is great and I have found that for Protein Shakes GNC Total Lean Rich chocolate is great and Core Power light banana/strawberry is really, really good.
