I am four weeks post surgery and I have a 60 gram protein shake for breakfast. I mix it with fresh bananas or strawberries and dry powdered milk. For lunch I usually have an organic cream soup; sometimes I combine two different ones and dinner has been small amounts of things like the following: shrimp scampi, whole wheat spaghetti with sausage and onions, a boiled hotdog, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, cheese sticks, black beans pureed with diced up ham, soft scrambled eggs, brocolli and cream corn. Again, I eat VERY small amounts; maybe two to three ounces. If it is something I truly want and I'm not sure, I puree it in the blender.

I'm trying the hardest to eat enough of calories...and walkin for exercise. This just scares me that I'm going into the 2nd week of not loosing.. and afraid that they surgery is not working for me.

I understand the nausea, did they precscribe something to help you with this? I took zofran with my liquid loritab exlicer. I take the liquid centrum, in the am after I put something in my stomach. Good luck to you! Katrina

I can eat any protein and vegetables. I eat 2 oz three times a day and 1-2 oz snacks 1-2 times a day. I am not allowed to have fruit, grains, or anything else.

Is this the first week you haven't lost anything? I went two weeks and only lost two lbs. It happens.
