Hello. I had the RNY bypass in August, 2012. I am glad I had it, but you need to do a lot more research than I did. I was not aware of the problems of nutrition absorption and the need for vitamins the rest of my life. That is my fault for not learning as much as I should have. I have had issues following surgery with…

Hello. I had RNY Gastric Bypass in August 2012. Everything went well with the surgery. I started on MFP almost a year prior to the surgery while I was meeting all the requirements. During that time, I lost 72 pounds. Post surgery, I have lost 88 pounds for a total of 160 pounds. I will tell you that this is a drastic step,…

Sugar substitutes over fresh fruits is good. Many sugar-tree ice creams and cookies in the stores. Good luck!

Good luck, you can do it!

I make Sauteed Cabbage and Ham Steak. Use half the ham steak and cut into pieces then brown it to taste. I rough chop a head of cabbage. Sautee that in a small amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on a med heat. Remember it will cook down a lot. Then combine the two and season as you like it, for me that is simply black…

And Howdy back from one TXN to another! Though we moved to AZ last year, I am and always will be a TXN. Also about the same age as you, so this could be a fun journey together! It is great to make new friends on here.

:flowerforyou: Welcome!

Hi Cathy! I have been on here about as long as you have, and I love it. Makes it all so much easier. One of the worst things I have found is sodium intake.. Who knew I was taking in that much? Sheesh! I wish you good luck.

Making the decision to start is the biggest part of it, because we all know how difficult a process weight loss is. You are off to a good start, keep it up!

Greetings from another in her first week! This is a great tool for us to use. Good luck!!

Welcome! I am new also, but I love the tools available to us. My eyes have truly been opened about a lot of things, especially sodium intake. Wow!

Welcome and good luck! I am new on here also (5 days) but I truly believe it will be a great help.

Good luck and God's blessings!

Thank you, everyone, and good luck! Hope you are having lots of success!
