My doc confirmed I am worse so good thing I went. Got a chest X-ray and waiting to get a zpak so hopefully things will calm down. It's been a long time since I had one of those but I think they work pretty quick

Thank you!!

Thanks for that link - it had a link to regain!! I did buzz a protein shake with ice - it was good but how is that not a smoothie? maybe they are referring to fruit only or something...I use protein, chia, greens and fruit... Right after my surgery, once I could eat, the Wendy's chili was recommended - I bet it was because…

Suzy - Luckily, I am not a huge graham cracker fan...now I really need to do some research! Thanks, teammate!! Wow!! More items for me to seriously consider! https://www.bariatriccookery.com/slider-food Slider foods are foods that “slide through” the pouch after gastric bypass surgery. Because gastric bypass patients no…

Suzy, I think I was reading on one of the 5 day Pouch reset groups that chips and salsa are a slider food and that was really where I had a moment of clarity. I had been eating those a lot, like pretty much every day! I did buy the Sara Lee bread that has 90 calories in 2 slices and I keep it in the freezer. The other…

Welcome!! Hopefully you will add this spot to your support area! I had RNY in April 2008 - most lost 130# - for the most part was stable at around 100# off. In the last 2-3 years, the weight has crept back on - this year I hit an all-time high of 249.6 - my weight before surgery was 335 (or so). I have been faithfully…

Good morning! I faithfully post here every day - finally get another person and I fade away - so sorry!! I am hanging in there, just under the weather. Today or tomorrow, I will need to decide whether to return to the doctor after a week, or if I am getting better. The worst is the coughing jags in the night. I see some…

Hi everyone! I just want to check in and say hi. We are out of town again this weekend and I am doing much better than last weekend. I am noticing that I am eating less without thinking so much about when can I eat again and how much!! Hopefully, I will be able to read some posts later. Louise in Vegas

Good morning! We are out of town again and it is so easy to let the new habits slide! I am doing much better on my eating this weekend and continuing to log my food - 30 day streak!. I am hoping this is a sign of progress in getting used to eating less in general. We are going home later today so will be glad to get to the…

Awesome revelations!

Hi everyone, I'm laying low today due to congestion issues. Yesterday, I exercised; today, I will have to feel a lot better if I am going to make it to the gym. Taking some meds, hot rice bag on chest and rest for me today. I had a bout of late night eating last night. - I told myself I was trying to find some flavor that…

Good morning! I went over a bit yesterday due to some late night snacking - I came home from traveling with the crud and last night I think I was trying to find any flavor that would break thru the stuffiness. I know better than doing that today. Today will be a lot of fluids, and rest - not exercising today unless feeling…

Hi everyone, I'm back from the weekend - I did not walk as much as I hoped to do, but back at it today. I did log my food and had some extras, but nothing like it would have been without some future planning. My weight is up a little, but my moving average is good, so not stressing. Just back to my regular life at home and…

Hi everyone! I am grateful that Suzy is posting, and hopeful there are others that will join in. I am back from traveling - I only walked on one day and only a third of my normal - I logged my food and probably missed some, but did better than in the past when I would use any disruption as an excuse to eat. I walked 3…

Hi ladies, Made it to Prescott without any binge eating on the road! So far, I have walked .6 mile - I waited too long to go and worry it's too hot for my dog's feet. Will work on getting in more later. It's amazing how I can work in extra steps here and there when being mindful. Lenora - thanks for the tips! Allie - hang…

Hey everyone! We made it to Prescott without any big eating disasters! Today, I wanted too long to walk so only have .6 mile so far. Definitely have to try for more later. It really warmed up fast so I was worried about my dog's feet. I did bring some protein snacks and plan to be mindful and get plenty of water. Have a…

Hi everyone! I have a hectic day getting ready to leave town, so just checking in. I love reading all the posts and you will all be in my thoughts until tomorrow! I managed to make it to the gym; in the past, any disruption to my routine would throw me off. Unfortunately, my weight was up a pound this morning. Mostly, I am…

Suzy - Thanks! I'll be online and will be checking in - part of my plan!!

Hello! Ugh, the scale weighed me up a pound! I know it's not a gain because I am staying within my limits. I am going to be diligent the next few days as we are going out of town. I will not be weighing, which is probably a good thing! I am taking my gym clothes with him and intend to get in my walking! Here is to a great…

SuzyQ - I was already working out but I do also track on the worksheets for Leslie Sansone Walk at Home. I think the premise is to get a mile in everyday; I really like just writing down something in the block. Sometimes, my husband and I walk the dog in the evening (not so much now with the heat) and it is nice to see a…

Vicki in Grand Island - thanks for sharing your struggle! I know for me it is harder to share the trials. Liz-Anna- Welcome! I am new here, too - you get lots of support! Michele in NC - Otter pops are like popsicles. I like the ones from Costco. They are bigger and time taste better that the little ones from grocery…

So grateful the scale is showing a loss! I am doing good with the logging and staying within my limits, too. One NSV (non scale victory), is that I notice I have to go faster on the treadmill in order to keep my heart rate up! I like to keep it at 115 or so, with some bursts for cardio. This is a definite direct result of…

Thanks for sharing your journey on 5day!! Please keep posting. I want to try it, but never get serious after first couple days. Just now, I remember how much food I prepared after the WLS so I could eat it. I need to keep this on mind if I try the 5dpt. I did not know the downside of soda, either! I'm not a huge soda…

Welcome back! I'm so glad you are here! I logged for two weeks before going to the dietician and was between 1800-2100 and I managed to lose a couple pounds. My dietitian also said I would need to be in the 1200 range, which I did I verify. The logging the first couple weeks sure has helped me come to terms with why I have…

Good morning, ladies, karenontario - Good for you! So happy you are here! Yesterday, I cut up watermelon with the melon baller and had some as snacks later - when I ate it, I sprinkled some smoked salt on top - so good!! Sure made the fruit seem more like a treat! After I got home from the gym, I lopped bushes and shrubs…

Hello, I made it yesterday without going over - although I did consume most of my exercise calories. After I got home from the gym, I worked in the yard for 30 minutes trimming bushes with the lopper and think I depleted my reserves due to the heat and exertion. I drank alot yesterday. I also went to bed and took no food…

Lenora Thanks, I was just as confused. There are a lot of members and it's hard to keep up, so I appreciate a response. I did meet with a dietitian, so thought maybe there was more than one Louise. Louise in Vegas

Lenora and Katla - is there another Louise in this group? I have not referred to being on a diet.

Good morning! I stayed under my allotment yesterday and did not take do any eating in bed last night either! I did not have any exercise calories for the buffer either. I have noticed that I am doing a bit more planning on how my day is going to look foodwise - hopefully, this will help me stick to my goals. Leigh in…

Hello group! I stayed under my allotment yesterday and had no exercise calories, either! I had a lot of mental cravings and the committee telling me to eat, but I made it. Since I have been logging for the past 16+ days, I now can see that I have really been eating way too much and this logging is really helping me to plan…
