150poundsofme, yes, I do still get the urge to eat things I shouldn't. Eventually, though, either I'm very nauseated from all the fat, or my blood sugar drops after very carb-y things, like even Frosted Mini Wheats Mini Bites Cereal. Unfortunately, right after my surgery my brother, who lived with us, was diagnosed with…

Me too! Started at 250 (I'm 5'2" and was 53 at the time). Made it down to 165 but now I'm hanging at 185. Gotta do it!

Hi, Monique. My name is Theresa and I'm right there with you.

Hi from Missouri

Hi all! I'm Theresa; new to this thread, but been around since November 2013 when I had a gastric bypass. I started at 250; got down to 162 before TMJ Disease finally got me for real. Had to switch to a near-liquid diet about 5 months ago, then had my old joints removed and replaced with titanium ones in May, and while…

By the way, you can always try using the sugar-free coffee flavorings in your protein shakes. Sure, they were made for coffee, but they're also awesome in protein shakes and have no sugar or fat.

I do put mine in my morning coffee, but I've also used it quite successfully in sugar-free, fat-free pudding. Muscle Milk's web page might have a recipe section, otherwise I use Unjury and they have great recipes. You might have to adapt the Muscle Milk a bit for the recipes, but at least they'd get you started and you can…

The worst possible thing for your gallbladder is yo-yo dieting - taking weight off and then regaining it. Beyond that, being an RN, I can tell you that doctors look at 4 "F's" of gall bladder disease: female, fertile, fat, and forty-ish. And yes, I was pretty much right in that range when mine had to go. :)

Have you ever been checked to see if you have a stricture/narrowing of your gastric stoma? If you're relying on slider foods and having that much of a problem with meats, maybe you should see a GI specialist if your original surgeon isn't available. You've come incredibly far if you're only 44 pounds from your goal weight…

Emj30135, I would see if there's a Weight Loss Institute in your area. I'm fortunate that I live in a major metro area, and a MBSAQIP certified Bariatric Program is readily available. I chose to go the non-surgical (diet and exercise) route two years ago, and when my life circumstances changed I went for a gastric bypass…

Protein is 4 cal/gm, carbs are 9 cal/gm. So it actually totals up to be more like 650 calories. I've had a gastric bypass, so yes, I'm averaging 650-750 cal/day. My challenge, and the reason for my questions, is that if I don't get around 45gm of carbs per day, I start feeling pretty weak and woozy pretty fast when I get…

Hi shalonthomas, are you getting the approximately 60gm of protein we're supposed to get per day? And yes, the multivitamin will help, as will the calcium and B-12. Me, I *hate* the multivitamin, so I swallow it whole even though it's chewable. I take Tegretol for nerve pain so I have to have something in my stomach when I…

Hi! My name is Theresa and I had a lap RNY bypass on 11/5/13. And yes, after losing about 35 pounds I seem to be hitting a wall also. I just saw the NP at my doctor's office last week, and she wants me to be eating 3 meals and 2 snacks within a week or two, but it's just not happening. I get my 60gm of protein by putting…

Hi! I just had a RNY bypass on 11/5/13 so I'm definitely a newbie, but I wanted to see who else is out there and this seems like a good place to start.
