Hi. I hit week 3 Thursday. I’m on the soft food diet and having a hard time getting my protein in. Today I was eating kidney beans and had to stop because I got the absolute worst chest pain. I’m worried about gaining my weight back and I’m worried about not getting my protein in. This sleeve has turned me into a neurotic mess. I’ve never been like this before. I hope calm down

It took me two months to hit 45 grams of protein and at 3 months I stll can't get fluids in. Relax and enjoy the journey.

Thank you for saying that.

Do you like tuna? I love the tuna albacore packs and you can take them where ever u go at 3 weeks out it was my only way to get the protein in for me. My sleeve didnt do well with chicken. Also depending if you know what foods give u chest pain to stay away from them for a few days and try again or if its all foods your surgeon can give u prilosec u may have Gerd and that has helped me soo much with the chest pain. They have over the counter prilosec as well its just less expensive for me with insurance getting it from my docter. Oh and have you tryed the high protein yogurts that are like 12 to 15grams of protein per yogurt and only 2g of sugar those help me get my protein in as well sence i wont drink protein drinks ever again anyways hope things get better for you.

Thank you. I’ll try tuna tomorrow.

Look for the website called the world according to eggface she is a bariatric patient that has awesome simple recipes for each stage. Most folks love her ricotta bake recipe including myself.

I would eat refried beans with some mozzarella salsa and sour cream before kidney beans. I think that it would be easier to digest. Good luck and hang in there
