Ok so I am 11 days out and discovered I have lactose sensitivity or intolerance, which sucks because I am on protein shakes and Greek yogurt and applesauce. I stocked up on rtd premier shakes which apparently have a milk base so of course it makes me nauseous. Then the yogurt turns my sleeve in all kind of ways then bam I'm making a mad dash to the bathroom not knowing which end it's gonna come out of. I'm so confused but I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow to discuss my options, but the good thing is I go to puree stage in 2 days. Fighting this head hunger and can only have sweet stuff like sf jello and sf popsicles an unsweetened applesauce is killing me. I also added in Prevacid to stop the gurgling in my stomach makes me nauseous as well. Humph I can't win for loose here. The struggle is real here but is almost over.

It appears I am loosing about 2 lbs a day so that's good but wow I wanna eat so bad. If anybody ever say this is the easy way out I want to smack them. This by far is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Just fighting the head hunger alone is so hard especially when your family is endulging in yummy stuff that you just can't have and half of the time you have to prepare it for them.

Try Silk w/ protein powder, or mix it with coffee if you like that

Yes i had to order some powders waiting for it to arrive, I do have a few sample packs from pre op when I was trying different things to find what I like so I am currently mixing some with decaf over ice. Thanks

Doing great!!!

Hang in there! You've had a rough start, but you're going to improve day by day. And your weight loss even this early out is dramatic. Good luck!

Thanks I saw my doc he gave me an IV with some strong nausea meds and I go back tomorrow for another treatment but I feel like a million bucks right now lol. I'm back to my happy place and weighed in at 310 today wooohooooo! And come to find out I was 339 on day of surgery with the excess gas so even more loss since surgery. Oh and he advanced me on the diet he said I am doing great to start eating soft foods yayy. #winning

That is awesome, today is my second follow up and I'm hoping to be between 313-315, which would mean I would be ahead of my goal for hitting the 299 on Christmas, I would be able to clear that by August, September, good luck your doing awesome!!!!!!

You're doing great so far. I have not had any problems with nausea or intolerances. I have lost 8 pounds at pod #9 . I'm a little concerned that I have moved to purée food and I dont feel the same fullness after eating 3-4 bites like a few days ago. Do you think I'm eating too much or my sleeve not working like it shoul. Any suggestions?
