Between the yogurt, the cottage cheese, ground meats, tuna salad, and the protein drinks, I haven't seemed to have a problem getting enough protein either. I've started using liquid Centrum vitamins and I just put that in the protein shake along with the calcium. It's an easy way to cover those bases. It's funny to see the different things that people are eating. I'm three weeks out now and on a soft diet. Mashed potatoes 1/4 cup is a delicious treat! Baked beans have good protein and stay down well too. I had a little trouble with deli roast beef. Even though it was thinly sliced and very tender, it balled up in my pouch and caused considerable distress until I tossed it...a little ball about the size of a medium olive. Cottage cheese with pineapple in it is a staple because it always feels good and a 1/2 cup portion is very satisfying and soft enough that there's no discomfort. I'm very interested in what everyone is eating and how you are dealing with the back-of-the-mind fear of somehow sabotaging even this (wonderful surgery that is a life-altering decision.)

no I have not taken any measurements but I should have. I feel like I have lost and it seems like I can see a little weight gone but no movement of the scale sickens me, it makes me feel like I will fail at this too.

Hey, don't panic......have you taken your measurments? I had one week when I didn't lose anything but lost 1 in. around my waist and a couple more inches on legs and arms! Try that!!!

I had surgery July 15th and I lost 18 pounds during my first week but I have stayed the same during my 2nd week. Anyone else had this problem? I get 66 to 90 proteins a day and I drink alot of water. What should I do??? HELP.

Did you have to go to your pcp doctor and do the nutrition class. I am only going to my dr once a month, we talk about nutrition but he isn't a specilist in it.
