Surgeon said I am losing too fast!

 well I would love someone to say I'm loosing too fast... :)  

but I also say be healthy.  If you try to drink 1 protein shake a day and see how you do with that I'd say what harm can 1 protein shake a day do?  right?   Keep us posted and I'm jealous!  lol

what ever happens and which ever way it goes , i wish you well and health and happiness with it .. but that is alot of weight . just be careful and make sure u get in what u r supossed to tho. u dont want to be back in the hosp later down the road. congrats on all the weight loss. wow!!

I agree with Lora and am shocked by most of the other responses. From your previous posts, you do not eat enough. Your body needs protein and if you do not give it enough, it will get it from your muscles, including your heart. You could cause permanent damage to your internal organs. Increase your food and protein. Your life depends on it.

i had that issue cause as Lora and Laura mentioned, I wasnt eating enough and you dont either. Im hoping you are at least hydrated if nothing else. Im now 15 months out and from not eating the first 6 months, my metabolism and pouch now gets full off of maybe a 1/4 cup of applesauce and other pureed foods..... I WISH I could eat 1/2 hell a 1/4 of what others eat but my tummy just didnt adapt...

How much protein- calories do you consume on average? I know it seems hard, but sip sip sip on those protein drinks.

I honestly have no idea as I don't measure food.

 Thanks for everyone's responses. I know I definitly need to be eating more. I think when I find a protein shake I can handle it will bulk up my calories a little. Right now I feel like I have a good day if I eat 500 calories which I know is not enough. The fast weight loss is nice but I got the surgery to be healthy and not skinny.

When u find one that u like please let me know I may try it somehow.

I didn't realize you've been eating so little. The Champion Chocolate is low calorie and doesn't have the protein smell and mixes really well.  I've added some instant decaf coffee to turn it into a mocha if you like that kind of stuff.

Vitalady sells samples if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it (and I pretty much gag at most protein shakes)

Katie, does the "MD" in your signature mean you live in Maryland? If so, I'd be willing to help you figure out the protein shake stuff. I haven't had one person for whom I haven't been able to come up with at least ONE shake they like (not just tolerate, but actually like).

I've been trying to get Diva to do a shake tasting for a while now. If you are in MD maybe we call all get together! :)
