Menopause and metabolism concern question?
Hoping some of you have done more with Hormone Replacement Therapy or other remedies you might recommend. I had a hysterectomy around seven years ago but to be honest I had hot flashes and night sweats even before that. I am a little afraid of HRT reactions, but I am getting tired of the lack of sleep, hot flashes and…

Water question??

Getting on the wagon again.....
Please tell me your secret to get back on track when you swayed off a little (or a lot). I have gone three days eating what I should not with visitors over the weekend, etc. Gained 1.5 pounds so hopefully I will take that off this week for a quick turn-a-round but wondered what are the tricks of the trade everyone uses?…

Diet Pros Advice
My doctor and Nut are adamant that you have to get 60 protein grams from shakes daily forever. They say if you take in around 100+ grams in total you probably will absorb 60. Yes I had RNY. I have done really well but have yet to make this happen, keep at around 60 to 80 grams daily. So I wonder what those who have had…

Whole Foods Diet
I have been interested in eating healthier for many years, just never could pull it off. Recently I have seen too many family members get ill and in some cases recover with food not drugs. I am getting older (57) and really would like to fuel my body with nutrients that help with decease and not just weight loss. That…

Liquid Protein Requirements
I am two months in and was calculating my food/drinks with the goal of 60 to 80 grams of protein each day but my NUT just advised that they recommend at least 60 grams alone from liquid protein because of your inability to absorb like you used to, I had RNY. What have you all been told?

Any Vegetarians or Vegans?
As I start planning for my post op diets, I do know about tons of mock meat products to make sure I get the protein and vitamins I need. Just wondering if anyone has advice for a more clean eating approach with less processed foods? And how many vegetarians might be on this group? Just wondering about these considerations…

What is normal weight loss?
I lost a large sum of weight the first three weeks out of surgery, of course on clear/pureed food. Once I started on soft food my loss is super slow, average of half pound per week. Granted it has only been for around three more weeks but I had hoped for more. I am sticking to the guidelines and assumed the large original…

Daily Calorie Amount.
I just got released to pureed food and have started to itemize my food quantities in MFP. Of course I will be low right now due to my recent surgery but it got me to wondering what is normal for most people. I read from one doctor online that they suggest 800 to 1000 calories p/day, depending upon the person. I assume that…

3 weeks clear liquids
Just home from the hospital late yesterday. Since this was a revision they advised I need to stay on clear liquids for 3 weeks. This is going to be tough. Any advice is welcome. I have protein drinks of course and broth, broth, and more broth. Not a fan of jello but may be forced to get some down me over the next 3 weeks.…

1 Week out of surgery - having problems with foam
Hoping you guys can help me. I am one week out of surgery and have two more weeks before my post op. I have twice had a issue with lots of foam being burped up. Can't drink anything for hours (lots of hours) due to my stomach being full of foam. In both cases it was triggered I think by drinking protein of 4 ounces. I am…

Juicing
My husband likes to make juices to keep up on his health, normally a mixture of kale or spinach and fruits. Just wondering with WLS if these juices will make me ill considering the sugar from the fruit? Any experience on this out there?

Happy I found this Group - I have so many concerns and questions
I had lap-band surgery around ten years ago but it was put in wrong and has caused some issues based on pieces coming off, etc. It was removed six days ago along with repair due to the parts floating around my body for who knows how long. My surgeon plans to do the RNY in about a month if all goes well. So that is my…
