3 Weeks Post Op and Totally Frustrated

Jun 17, 2009

Weight Loss Surgery really isnt for wussies!

I knew this was going to be hard but I figured the hard part would be trying not to eat everything in sight.  In actuality my biggest problem is remembering to eat and drink.

It's been my biggest struggle.

I'm never hungry so I forget to eat.  I should be having 6 small meals loaded with protein and I'm getting in 2.  3 on a good day.  And I'm only getting in maybe 20oz of water a day.  30 if I'm lucky.

I cant do the protein drinks.  My pouch doesnt like them.  No matter if they are pre made or if i make the powdered ones.  It feels like I have rocks in my pouch all day after drinking one.  It makes it literally impossible to eat or drink anything for the rest of the day.  Its too uncomfortable.  They make me feel full and bloated for the entire day.  So I've stopped that.  Now the only way I can get in protein is by food and ugh when youre on the soft stage its hard to get protein in ya.  Soft foods that Ive found with protein are very small amounts.

Im so frustrated with myself.
