I am new here. I had my procedure on March 11. Nothing has gone as I anticipated it would. I must say tonight, after a bad afternoon, I am having regrets. But it is not like I can have this reversed. So I have to learn to live with it and make it work for me.
I know I don't get in enough protein. I hate yogurt and I hate cottage cheese. And I am so weary of drinking protein shakes that it almost makes me sick. I did progress this week to soft foods and have tried scrambled eggs. I can eat about 1/2 of an egg. My biggest problem is nausea. I have been wearing the patch to combat that. But everything makes me feel sick and I spit up a lot of food. I had an upper GI series done on Wednesday to rule out any issues with my sleeve. The tech said he did not see any problems, but I am waiting for confirmation of that from my surgeon. I tried to force myself to eat yogurt today (at the suggestion of my nutritionist), but it made me so sick and I went to bed for the afternoon - after I cancelled an hair appointment.
I want this to be a positive life-changing event for me, but so far it's been a negative one. I have lost 25 pounds, but even that seems low compared to what I eat and the weight-loss. I am not a negative person, so this is hard on me.
Suggestions?
