Hi everyone. I am 11 years post op RNY. I have had nothing but complications from surgery. I've had a total of 13 surgeries, all as a result of RNY. I maybe unhealthier now than at my heaviest weight, but I am alive and I can't say for sure I would be the way I was headed! Feel free to ask me about any of my complications.…

I'm not sure if I've posted before or not. Hi, I'm Stephanie and I had my original RNY back in December of 2002. I have had nothing but complications from my surgery, but would do it over in a heart beat! I started at 300.2. I remember crying the morning of surgery because I had never been over 300 pounds. I got down to…

Let's get this board going again, where is everyone? I'm getting back on track. I've been going to the gym every morning Monday through Friday at 6:45 am and walking on the treadmill for at least 2 miles. Then Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I also do water aerobics for an hour. I recently gave up my cherished diet pepsi…

Since I am officially back on track I decided to log my food. I thought I was getting in enough protein, boy was I wrong! So I fixed myself a protein shake. Now I have to start exploring for some good recipes. So I got in exactly 90 grams. So I was curious as to what the current recommendations are for protein intake? It's…

I eat Kashi Go Lean for breakfast that has 13 grams of protein and depending on what milk you eat it with, that is another 8. Then I usually have a Chobani Yogurt Strawberry Banana for a midmorning snack. with 14 grams of protein. Then for lunch I like to eat tuna salad with fat free miracle whip and a little pickle…

I am officially back on track. I've lost 8 pounds in the past two weeks. I am 10 years post op RNY and regained due to steroids and let's be honest, some poor eating choices. I start going back to the YMCA the second week of January. I'm already seeing success. I've signed up to do my city (INDY 500) mini marathon. I…

Can anyone suggest some websites to find good recipes for protein shakes? I just bought strawberry, chocolate, and chocolate peanut butter flavors. I am determined to get my protein in daily. I have no excuses now! Thanks!! Stephanie E

Fellow hoosier here! I'm from Indianapolis!

My local grocery store had protein powder on sale and buy two get one free, so I stocked up. I made sure they weren't close to their expiration date too! Made that mistake once. I chose chocolate, strawberry, and chocolate peanut butter. Now I need to research some good recipes with those flavors. So I have no excuses not…

I will add you as a friend. I understand what you have been through. Even though I opted to have gastric bypass 10 years ago, I am still struggling with losing weight that I regained due to steroids and poor eating choices. I have had nothing but complications from my surgery and wish I would have done it without the…

Struggling to get in all my protein and vitamins. I know the importance of both, but yet am having a hard time. I never thought this would be the case being 10 years post op RNY. I had weight regain due to steroids and poor eating choices. Trying to get back on track. I think once the school semester starts again on the…

My name is Stephanie and I had RNY 10 years ago tomorrow. I have had nothing but complications and have had a total of 11 surgeries as a result of the initial RNY. I started at 300 and got down to 160. I was put on steroids and regained weight. I got back down to 190 and then have regained weight again. I dislike…

Well I had a better week this week. I lost 3 out of the 5 pounds that I gained last week, was hoping for all 5. I hope everyone else had a better week! Stephanie E

Well I did better than last week. I lost 3 of the 5 that I gained last week, was hoping for all 5. I hope everyone had a good week. I had a week full of anxiety. I learned that my liver functions did not come down like they had hoped, so I had to go have more labs drawn. The doctor scared me when she tried to assure me.…
