So I have transitioned to soft foods and have been full since morning on about 2 OZ of scrambled eggs. I did bring myself to eat so I could get closer to my Protein goal... but I think I ate the wrong thing. I first tried some ground turkey meat seasoned like tacos will a little bit of cheese, but the meat so was so dry and was hard to swallow. So I had some chili that the rest of the family had the in the crockpot all day. It was really wet and mostly ground beef-it went down great. NOW my stomach is doing all sorts of things...I have sharp pains and I'm fighting back heartburn. The pain almost feels like incision pain, the sharp pain you get when you bend down. Is this familiar to anyone? This is my second day having soft food so I'm not shocked I made a bad choice. I think the meat was fine it was just too spicy!!

Sounds like how I felt when I ate too much too fast early on. Be careful adding new food into your diet so quickly.

Soft foods..ground turkey f is probably too hard on your stomach at this point. the seasoning may also be too harsh also.

Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are great for Protein. I still can't eat eggs or spicy foods, they do not set well with me. Take your time when eating, it really makes a difference.

U r right kitklass Greek yogurt and cottage are great Protein sources. For Snacks I eat mozzarella cheese sticks by weight watchers. It goes down good and I enjoy the taste. I am almost 11 weeks out and these foods are def main staples of my diet.

Yikes! I'll have to really readjust. My NUT gave me a list of approved meal and ground turkey was on it was ground beef was not just yet. thanks for the advice guys. Is this burning stomach pain pretty common after a mess-up like this?

It can be. Try taking an over the counter PPI like omeprazole (prevacid) for heartburn (Walgreens or Costco). It helps me a lot.

Try waiting a bit before adding ground turkey or beef.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
