Tired & P***ed off!

I lost almost 40 pounds after returning home following BCIR surgery.  MY GP advised me to drink high calorie shakes (e.g. Boost, Ensure, etc.).  I also experimented with other high calorie foods.  After several months, my weight stabilized and then began to increase.  Since I had a few extra pounds to start with, I had to adjust my intake when I reached my desired weight.  Perhaps your path will be similar as your body adapts to your revised “plumbing”.  Foods that add bulk to your output should reduce the adverse effect of nutritional shakes.  Good luck!

Since may, jeffrey has put on around 30 pounds just from food and crap. He cant afford to gain his weight back!

Thanks for the replies.. I will stick to the protein/high calorie shakes for another week, hopefully my gut starts to accept them. Really don't want more weight loss.

I suppose on a bigger picture the daily trips have decreased due to the meds, just need weight stabilised and then start gaining, even if it was slow gain I would be happy as its a sign I'm going in the right direction.

For protein, I know that whey (lactose containing anything for that matter) increases my frequency but I tolerate soy protein.  I have lost 20 lbs ...not sure how many stone that is since my surgeries in Feb and take down in Apr.  I know I am tired of being tired...and feeling weak from muscle loss.  My point being you may need to change protein sources.

I'm not sure if others are like this but I have noticed when I drink cold things with ice or just from the fridge. It will increase output or make it come out very soon. This may not be your case but just a thought!

Thanks for the replies, that's 1.48stone, have you stopped dropping?
I will have a look at that shake, thanks!

I have noticed cold bottle water tends to go through me quicker, I thought it was because I was drinking it too quickly!
Thanks for the heads up!
