OK I remember u r about a week out. I am not a medical professional and honestly I would not normally say go against your NUT but before you tried food this early, I would at least try Protein shake instead - unless there is so me medical reason that your Dr doesn't allow it. The Protein Shake would certainly be a much safer choice than food. And it will help with the hunger. Just take it slow. Make it a good choice (high Protein / low sugar).

. Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason . Ima look soon

The Premier Protein ready made shakes are 160 calories with 30g of protein and only 1g of carb (I think - it might be 4g) and is 11 oz. They are very good - or at the very least tolerable. So, does your NUT work at your dr's office? If not, I think I would call the surgeon's office and ask for the nurse. When do you go back for your first follow up?

Girl I don't think I could make it without the Protein Shakes however the vanilla shakes (milk based but I mix with water) that I was doing before surgery go right through me so. I've been doing Protein Water from GNC. I get to start having soft foods after Tuesday. Funny because the first thing I'm looking at is refried Beans lol . Hang in there. I had to start a new plan on my bible You Version App today because I really needed a distraction. It was a gloomy day! ❤️

I read my plan today to and went for a walk. A great distraction .. But the rumbles are loud lol ..

If you are not having Protein shakes what are you having?

When I was at your stage, lamb broth really helped me with cravings.

Why not Syntrax Nectar? It is the same consistency as Water.< /p>

Never heard of it. I will add to my list .. I'm going through my foods since my stomach isn't tolerating some of them

Ah, ladies, if you are not getting enough Protein, like I wasn't, expect for your hair to start falling out. I had some hair flying out, I freaked out and thanks to another lady here found a good solution for me. Went to the health store and picked up two bottles of Isopure. Tried the black tea- real lemony but had worse and I am tired of shakes, so it was nice to drink a liquid. Not the best tea in the world, but with 40 g of protein in 20 oz, I am sold. I also bought the punch flavor, that is for manana =) I am so .... happy

If you look around on the site they have a lot of flavors. You might want to look around where you live. I think Vitamin Shoppe has the single serve sample packs, and so do supplement stores, not health food stores. Look for the stores the meat heads go to.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
