I have never been able to meet my protein or water goals easily, and I developed severe reflux after surgery which I understood was a risk. So I really wasn't too surprised when after vomiting off and on for the last 3 weeks I found out today my stomac

My surgeon wants all my 80 grams of protein from food not shakes.  Has anyone else had a dietician or surgeon want this?  He is adamant about it and I just can't eat enough at one time to do it. I have to include 1 premier protein shake per day to get

I had a minor stall early on, but this is a biggie.  over 3 weeks now.  Just need to vent a bit.  My surgeon said to me that there would come a time that how much weight I lost would be determined by how active I could become.  I always thought it was

Well today marks 10 days sleeved.  How many calories did you consume at that time and what was your energy level like?  I took a short walk this morning and I went half the pace I could before surgery and I am just worn out.  I knew that I would be a l
