Call your doctor. This happened to me and it just kept getting worse until they finally did a scope and found I had a structure.

Jami
I found the post! stay under Diet and Nutrition. Type in the search box Vitamin Assistance. Look for post from Eggface. There are threads there for Bariatric Advantage.

I have not seen Bariatric Advantage in my local drug stores nor in Walmart. What I would do is pull up Bariatric Advantage company online and contact them to see if you can order directly from them. Also there is a form that you can download. Your surgeon needs to fill this form out and fax it to Bariatric Advantage, They will send you several vitamins at no cost for a limited time. The form is on this site somewhere, I saw it yesterday. I will post it for you when I find it again.

I make shepperd's pie in mini loaf pans, 3 oz ground beef, and an ounce or 2 of mashed potato, freeze them and just take out one at a time. I also do the same with mini meatloaf.
egg salad or devilled eggs,
Deli turkey/ham/summer sausage with a cheese stick.
Definitely call your doc if you can't keep anything down...
Are you keeping water down?
What are you eating?
At 2 months I couldn't (and still can't) eat all the things on the doctor's approved list, OR nearly as much as I'm 'allowed'.
Chicken, ground beef, pork... all gave me real problems... now at 4 months out, I can eat more, but still not everything easily every time.
I've thrown up the white 'foamies'... and the 'slimies'... and even my food if it's stuck pretty well.
We are still healing, and our pouches are still very tight in some cases.
I still drink 1-2 protein shakes a day to keep my protein levels higher.

I'm a newbie too, and you might want to post this on the RNY board if you want bigger exposure...
But just yesterday someone was talking about their doctor/NUT telling them to hit 1000 calories, and the biggest responses coming back were this:
- Keep calories lower, especially early out! ( think it was suggested at 800 calories)
- Protein forward - kick all the simple carbs to the curb
- DRINK drink drink your water
- Do not make up calories for exercise...
I can't remember all of the other things... but I do remember that 1000 calories was too high for where you are.

to add to others, if you use pinterest, check out wls, meal prep, bento lunches. tons of stuff there too!
try doing a search on here of "stalls", youll find lots of tips. I can't really offer anything since im only one week post op, but from what i've seen, not many people eat more than 800 ish when in weight loss mode. and logging every bite! an extra 25 calories here and there adds up quick when you eat as few as we do!
Good luck!
