You're right on target. I try not to compare my weight loss to others. Everyone is different and every pound lost gets you closer to goal.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I found out that I am very lactose intolerant so my protein was making me sick. I got some protein bullets that I tolerate and today i found some low lactose protein that I'm going to try with my lactaid to see if I get it down. I'm still struggling with water, but its getting easier. I started writing down my water and food intake to see how much I'm getting in. Right now I'm at about 5 cups a day, which is better than 2 weeks ago. Still not 8 cups but still good. My energy is still shot though. I wish that would come back. I return back to work next week and I'm worried about being so tired all the time.

You are doing great! And you're right don't compare. You will keep losing.

It's been a month for me and I'm still struggling. I'm having a hard time because before surgery there were a number of protein shakes I liked, now I don't. Struggle each day to get in enough water. Usually I can eek out 48oz but would rather be up to 64+. I wasn't expecting to feel like you, nothing really tastes , sounds or looks appealing. What a change! Even if I had just a few "go to" high protein items that I liked, I'd be so much happier. You're not alone.

Hi everyone...I know this was posted a while ago but I just thought I would share with you the protein drinks I drink. It is the only one I can handle right now (and I have tried alot!) It is EAS 100% whey protein. It is 23 gms of protein per scoop and you use two scoops per 6-8ozs. I mix two scoops with 6 ozs of water and sip on this for about 1-2hours until I have drank it all. That is 46gms of protein in one drink! I then wait at least 1 hour before eatting anything (usually longer). So anyway that is how I deal with the protein right now I still cannot eat too much at eat meal (I am eatting 1/4c to 1/3c total food per meal) MD wants me up to 1/2c total food per meal. But I guess it will come. Good luck to everyone! and keep up the good work!
