I'm 6 weeks out post op. Think I'm gonna have to start drinking more Protein shakes. Can't hardly eat anything before I'm completely full. Tonight..a tiny piece of roll, 2 fried shrimp and almost half a baked potato...I'm not sick, but full...so, back to shakes I go I guess.

The fact that you are eating bread and potatoes gives me pause. You should be eating p rotein, not carbs. And vegetables, after you've eaten your p rotein (if you even have room). Carbs should be at the very bottom of a list of things to eat.

Drinking shakes to supplement protein is fine. You may want to eat protein rich foods and not the roll or even potato. Rolls expand in your stomach and will fill you up and won't let you eat enough protein.

Also not being critical -- you should talk to your nut. My carbs come from veggies -- never a potato or fish with breading -- my Dr. would rather me have shrimp sautéed in butter than breaded and fried. Always Protein first and sometimes only -- according to my doctor. Sleeved on 6/1/2016. good luck!

The shakes are fine to go back to if you are not getting enough Protein in.. Just try to eat the Protein at meals first..I would probably really try to stay away from anything fried and any extra carbs though, we all know how hard this is.. Good luck

I rarely do hard carbs. I had roasted sweet potatoes but had no room after my salmon. So i don't waste my time now. Protein or nothing! Its hard enough to get that in so I can't fool with nothing else. 8 weeks post op.

      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! 😞
