well, im 11 weeks out. i still can only eat between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of food at a meal including all carbs, veggies and protein.
i am finding that lately i am losing all taste for protein in the form of meat.  i have to force myself to eat meat now where before surgery i could eat half a side of beef.

i visited GNC for some protein powder so i at least get something in the form of protein if i stop eating meat altogether. i picked up some whey isolate-raspberry. has less than one carb, 80 cals i think and 20g of protein per scoop.

now if i have 3 or 4 cups a day i can cut actual meat out of my diet altogether

has anyone else gone through this?

HW (last known weigh in)=452.5

2 week PRE-OP=401.8
SW-379.8

CW-226.9 (06/13/13)

I'm not that far ahead of you. Surgery was 4/21. I have found over the last month of so that I really don't like most food. I was not a pickey eater before and have found it difficult to find food that tastes good to me anymore. Like you I am relying on two shakes a day to get a min of 64 oz of proteine in. Hopefully this is just a phase... On a positive note look at the amount of weight you have lost!

Hey Sleeve Sis!
  I get tired of food too lately, and I the scale wasnt moving so I started doing them for breakfast.

My favorite thus far is muscle milk and body fortress cookies n creme.
  How are things going for you?

yes, i hope its just a phase too hollirrose, i used to eat everything preop..this is a whole new ball game lol.
hey sis, yeah my scale stopped too. i drank two the shakes yesterday and this morning down half a pound. doesnt sound like much but when it hasnt moved for a week...ill take it lol
i like the muscle milk too.  the lady at gnc was a hard seller, i did want some whey protein but she wouldnt get off my back even when i told her i needed a minute to decide..she really pushed the creamy raspberry so i tried it. its not bad but then again its not chocolate lol. next time...i stick with the chocolate..it makes me think im having something naughty lol
