I'm on soft Proteins. Tonight I tried Chinese takeout: tofu with ground pork. Ate about a half cup, which is more than I've been eating at one sitting. Felt fine. Waited the time I was told to drink (nut said half hour; I've been waiting 45). Right after, I was hungry again! This seemed strange, tried more Water but still felt hungry. I figured I'd listen to my body, and had about 8oz of Protein Shake. Now I feel so close to throwing up I keep running to the toilet. Was the Chinese food to blame? Maybe it was greasier than I realized. Just trying to figure out this new stomach is crazy making. I think I'll do all shakes tomorrow. Anyone had any similar experience? Probably better to keep it really, really light and simple.

The shakes to me seem so heavy in my stomach I do not get sick. They just make my stomach queasy

Chinese was probably not the wisest choice for beginning. Stay away from takeout! Unfortunately if you had the sleeve, they also removed the hormone that makes you feel hungry. If you feel hungry its psychological. Soft food is not pork. Soft food is like chicken chewed to a puree, greek yogurt, eggs chewed up well, things like that. U really need to look at the fat content of what u ate. Good luck to you.

Point taken!

This goes back to my head-love of food. I was always excited about all kinds of ethnic foods, and know in a few weeks I can start making these foods at home, with ground turkey and tofu. Today I'm sticking with shakes, yogurt, and scrambled eggs. Keeping it simple feels so much better in my body. It's just a mindset change: takeout was always a reward, as my husband can't cook.

Thanks for the feedback.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
