I am exactly 7 weeks out today and until about a week ago I was doing just fine - I could tolerate everything and was doing really well with both Water and Protein.

Well that's all changed....now nothing seems to agree with me. My stomach feels icky/nauseous every time I eat (or even think about eating). I'm not getting my protein, not getting nearly enough liquid and fighting to get about 600-700 calories a day.

Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions or tips? It's getting really frustrating! Not to mention my weight has stalled for over a week as I'm not getting enough calories. And I dont have any energy to exercise. :(

600-700 calories is almost at normal for where you are at. You might bump it up a couple more hundred calories.

Are you taking any Vitamins?

Yes - Iron, B12, Calcium, Biotin and a multi. My levels are all really good - was just tested the other day.

The Dr said I should be closer to 1000 a day now. And I was getting into the 900s for a few weeks....and that's when I was losing. Now I'm not losing.

I am exactly 6 weeks post vsg today. I understand where you are coming from..sort of. I too can hardly eat anything other than Protein shakes and if I am lucky a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese a day. Even fluids are tough still. I average 800 calories a day. I had my 6 week post op with my nutrition

Ist yesterday. She was happy with my progress. I was also told during my pre op,seminars that our new tummies can be just fine today and cranky as heck tomorrow with no rhyme nor reason. Just my thoughts...

      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! 😞
