  • Going out to eat used to be one of my favorite things--now, not so much. When all I can manage is 1 egg and a piece of toast, or a few bites of fish and some veg (can't eat that AND soup, salad, appetizer and dessert), its just not the same. However, I have found that there is always something that I can order that is high…
    in Eating out after surgery Comment by BabeDeNoc June 2015
  • Before I retired, I'd walk the stairs at work whenever I had a few free minutes. If you have a job that entails a lot of sitting, even standing at your desk for periods of time is helpful. Park your car a little farther away. After a 12 hour day, I'd probably just collapse into bed too. And you probably don't work 7 days a…

  • Like Imryoung, I also had RNY because of GERD. I had my surgery at a Bariatric Center of Excellence an hour from my home. They had a very through program of several pre- and post-op appointments with the doctor and with nutritionists to explain every part of the process and to track my progress afterward (and I'll continue…

  • The week is almost over so my goal for TODAY is to exercise and to switch up my snacks from sugary things to things that will help my body, which for today will be a nonfat, nonsugary yogurt, a piece of string cheese, grapes and grapefruit sections. My resolve is usually strongest in the morning, so the real test will come…

  • My doctor stressed that walking will help keep your system in good working order after surgery. I didn't have a lot of pain after surgery--the hard parts were getting up and down from bed or a chair, but walking wasn't painful at all--in fact, it made me feel better. Two blocks at a slow pace each way shouldn't be a…
    in How was your immediate recovery? (RNY) Comment by BabeDeNoc June 2015
  • I had gastric bypass surgery in 2013. I'm 5'7". I started at 238 and was at 138 after 8 month. Lately my weight has crept up to 141.5, due to my snacking habits--which I'm working to correct. I hear all those who say--"Ohhh, thats so drastic, try this and try that." I tried this and that for 30 years. I can't tell you the…
