Hi all I am a huge fan of Unjury protein ..they have chicken soup which is a huge break from the typical protein shake. They have a strawberry sorbet you can mix with lemonade Crystal light, the unflavored is great to add to anything and no taste but they do have an odor. I love love it and all have 20 grams of protein per…

Date and the surgery you chose. May 12 2012 I had the RNY 2. How you are feeling about your choice - considering your choice & what you know now, do you think you would have picked another method (i.e. sleeve or dieting et al). I am so happy about my choice..no more diabetes, and the pressure on my CPap machine has been…

Thnak you guys so much for replying..after getting back to the basics and working out a lil more I finally lost some weight. Its also weird because I could only eat very little this weekend.

Found this article: The Scariest Moment Of All At around 6 months, a couple of things often happen that scare the living daylights out of you. And if they happen at the same time as a stall, then my God it’s like the world has ended and you’ve had surgery for nothing because you’re going to be a FAILURE!!!!!! Well, that’s…

Hello welcome this is a great resource and I made a lot of new friends; even in my area.

I lost 12 lbs but I didnt have to do the entire 14 days because i went to surgery early so I did that in about 10 days.

I sometimes get that if I take one more bite feeling I'm going to dump..which I hate ..so I measure out half of my limit and if I want more I eat it..if not I wait about 10-15 minute to see if I can eat more if not i toss it. I was told not to eat more than a cup of food in a sitting so I try not to always finish it..and…

Thank you so much ...thats the first time I got a complete understanding. I will now watch the clock more closely.

Cleveland OH !!!!

Hello Ive had this problem as well. What I have learned helps me is do my fluids first so I have a cup of green tea with lemon. Ive been doing this now for 6 weeks and no more irritation or nausea. Also Im finding that Im starting to get lactose intolerant which is a bummer because I also love cottage cheese and yogurt.

Oh also dont try to eat everything..listen to your body its ok ..eat every couple of hours something that is high in protein. I had stopped loosing for a lil bit and was told because my body was starving but now that I feed it at least meals and 1 snack its coming off. Dont only judge pounds..ive lost 2 dress sizes !!!!!

Hello I just saw my dietitian yesterday and here were the major things she wanted me to focus on: 1. my meal should last about 30 min and drinks 30 minutes apart from my meals so that I dont stretch my pouch 2. focus on protein first 3. take your daily vitamins and minerals which include vit d--calcium--iron--multi…

My doctor told me that having dips in energy was going to be normal..There will be times when you are totally wiped out. They also reminded me that our bodies just went through a huge major surgery on the inside..so when my body says rest ..thats exactly what I do..its hard but you needed it...I am 9 weeks out and still…

Ive decided after reading all of your post just listen to my stomach and go from there..I think I was worried because I was not getting in very much but Im just going to continue focusing in on the protein which is the most important.

Welcome Welcome I have found this group to be excellent...everyone is open and nice...I am 5 ft and my goal is 110-125 which is what I weighed after all my kids...I used food to cope with stress and that is no more!!! Best of luck to you!!

Hey our surgery birthdays are a day apart.!!!
