My stage 2 is different



Recommended Posts

​Yes, but I have had a bit of trouble with it and have stuck with pureed mostly for quite a while and I just cannot eat enough to ever get 80g + of Protein I am supposed to get. I am still (usually) using 2 Protein shakes a day. It is getting a little better everyday (though today wasn't a great day), but I know it will get better. I think a lot of my issue is eating too fast or not chewing enough so I end up getting sick. Still I can only eat about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup at a time (depending on what it is) but if it is meat like chicken or turkey, I'm only getting about an ounce at a time which is only 7 or 8 g at each meal so clearly not enough. I eat a lot of dairy - yogurt, cheese, etc. but even then I increase that with Protein powder when I can. I don't know that I am normal though so don't be worried that is how it will be for you! :)

Yea everyone is different .. If I do get like that .. It would be a funny thing too see my dietician explain how I'm going to get enough Protein

Right??!! Just so strange.... I am so curious what she tells you about this stage...

You know I just remembered about a dr that gives lectures and records on YouTube that isn't a big fan of shakes. Or I think you can go to his website - drmatthewweiner.com or you might be able to google it.

Maybe it will give you some good ideas while you wait for your NUT to call back? (I haven't watched it in a while so I don't quite remember so don't judge me if it is bad info. :))

      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! 😞
