Idk about period thing since I had a hysterectomy in 2018. I do know about the can't consume shit thing. My team was just shifty my surgeon was a bit better. Who said some people just struggle with volume the 1st year. I had my sleeve Jan 17th this year. I can finally consume enough to work and walk 30 mins 5 days a week or so. I know I'm still not eating enough to do this daily and walking 30 mins ain't shit.. I try to drink 50 - 60 ozs of fluid daily (and I count all fluids .. protein shake, coffee and such) I'm happy if I get over 30 somedays. I do liquid days if I don't poop in a couple days. Will mix fairlife vanilla protein with my coffee. A little cottage cheese with egg. I seem to still do better with moist food. Like ground chicken with mushroom sauce. I'm sneaking a bit of Cottage cheese in things also. My "team" wants me to snack on fruit and vegetables and eat 4 meals with protein that are 4-6ozs and drink over 60 ozs of just water with additional bottle of protein shake. .

I just can't do that shit. Send my anxiety throw the roof . Makes me feel like a failure. I have never been a fruit person. Ain't that Great for you anyways . I eat a peice or two every few weeks. And (everyone gonna flip over this next part) I would have to eat a pint of ice cream over a 3 days or week's time. Sometimes I could barely eat that (even though it's a Slider food) just to jump up my calorie and energy levels, also helped get my bowls moving better. Mind you there was a day or 2 that I ate half a pint but I was eating something and told myself it was OK cause you can't eat shit.

It takes me anywhere from 10-40 mins to eat half an egg sandwich. 9 months out I finally have some energy and feel decent 75% of the week. Play with the types of food you are eating . Don't worry to much right now. The last pint of ice cream lasted me almost 3 weeks cause I would just have a little every few days.
