Hello, new here

I had gastric bypass surgery April 9.

I'm kinda lost. I can't drink enough or get enough protein. I'm always so full. Is this normal?

    I'm 4 months post op & have lost 100 lbs. This has been the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. It's a lot easier now. Walking everyday & working out at the gym. Have another 100 to lose

Thanks! I will look for the app. I can't wait to get walking and exercising. I do walk a little. I have really bad plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and posterior tibial tendinitis. I have a lot of pain when I walk. I'm sure as a lose weight it will get easier.

Thanks for the list of foods.

I have sugar free fudgesicles. I was afraid to eat them. I will try them out. I'm terrified of dumping.

The only time I had dumping syndrome was when I ate 3 pieces of bacon with my breakfast. Never again. If it's greasy I can't eat it. No fried food or sugar. The fudgesicles don't bother me. Only 40 calories & taste pretty close to ice cream.

My go to protein shake is Performance Whey Isolate Vanilla Shake flavor. I tried about 15 different brands until I found this. I mix it with 10oz skim milk and two packets of Splenda. 38gms of protein per shake including the skim milk. I drink one in the morning and then my food supplements the rest of my protein requirement. But in the event that I just can't get the food in, I will drink another for dinner to make sure I have my protein in. It is not chalky, I mix it with a blender bottle so it doesn't get too frothy, and the flavor is really good. I got this at Costco but I am sure they sell it at other places like GNC, Walmart, etc. It does get better. I swear! Hang in there!
