Meal planning helps me. My surgeon said Protein is the most important thing my Nutritionist said hydrate 1st and Protein 2nd. I’m not big into weighing I got some ramekins that are 3 ounces I put what I want in that and eat until I’m full normally I don’t finish it but things like cottage cheese I can finish it no problem. It is time consuming but I feel meal planning and meal prepping is the easiest where I can have a life too still I have the 64 ounce water bottle with times in it like someone else mentioned I just fill it in the morning keep it in the fridge and fill a smaller 20 ounce Water bottle from that and I know I’ve drank my fluids by the end of the day

Hi Everyone...

So i am only one week post op with a robotic gastric sleeve. I am feeling so much bloating, gas and a little pain. It's hard to tell if its pain or hunger. I have only loss 8lbs so far is that normal or should i have lost more??? I see people post they lost 20 or 30 and i think am i doing something wrong? I do well with getting in the 60g of Protein but not sure if i am getting in enough Water. The struggle is real.

Gatorade Zero make a Protein version that is 2 birds with one stone.

Also, I plan out my entire day's food the night before using My Fitness Pal. That way I know what I'm going to have and that I met my protein/fat/carb goals for the day. Other than dinner, I will even get everything out and portioned and ready to go so that my Breakfast, lunch, and Snacks are all packed and ready to roll.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
