I'm 3 weeks and 2 days as well... If I eat 2 TBS than I'm lucky. I have to supplement with protein shakes because I definitely can't get nutrition through food yet. If I even take a bite over 2 Tbs then I'm in PAIN.

I'm making ranch chicken burgers and some baked potato wedges. Yum!

Thank you! Thankfully, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I got a promotion so I will not be working with these ladies in 2 weeks. I told my fiancé that even if my new coworkers start to suspect, they're not getting any info about my surgery. Haha I don't care.

Congratulations! You look wonderful!

I had a particularly rough day... I have 3 coworkers who all had RNY (years ago). They're all baffled that my surgeon put me on soft foods after my 2nd week. It's like they think I'm resorting back to my old habits. One of them actually said to me today (while she was piling down a brownie) that I need to STOP eating and go back on liquids for a few weeks. I was like "what?? Why??" Her answer was because I will get sick and her surgeon had her on liquids for a month. #1. It has been almost a month and not one thing has made me sick (I'm very careful with food and chew well). #2. I'm following MY surgeons orders-- NOT hers!! Gahhhh!!! Why do people feel like they NEED to give you their opinion. I'm so over it! My other coworker(that INSISTS she lost 70lbs her first month--- so not true!) has been telling people she doesn't understand why I'm not losing that fast! I've lost 30 pounds in THREE weeks! That's a lot of weight!

I made a "Reuben roll up"-- basically I piled a slice of turkey lunch meat with a sprinkle of cheese, a tiny bit of sauerkraut, and some thousand island dressing. I rolled it up and sautéed it on each side to melt the cheese. Delicious! I'm just a bit nervous because I'm not sure if I'm allowed sauerkraut or not. Went down just fine. Lol I couldn't find any info at all in my stuff regarding it, so I just went for it. Haha

I'm very discouraged right now because I'm at the 3 week stall. I work with 2 girls who also had the surgery. One INSISTS she lost almost 20 lbs a week for her first 2 months ( which we all know isn't true), but my other coworkers believe her so they think I'm already doing something wrong and I'm not! Ugh...

So, I understand people are either excited for me or just nosey, but I'm so sick of people wanting a daily update on my weight loss. I'm very dis

I ended up buying sugar free Hershey's mini bars with caramel filling. SO DELICIOUS! I are one and put the bag away (knowing they could give me the runs was a great way of forcing myself to only have one! Haha).

Me either!! Nothing better than warm, garden fresh cucumbers and tomatoes!!

I'm trying so hard, but I'm barely getting enough of anything in. Everything I eat sits very well, but I can only handle about a TBS at a time or I feel disgustingly full. I need to get myself on a better eating/shake routine or all my hair is going to fall out.

First.. Happy birthday! Second... How do you feel?? My birthday is July 8th and I would love to just even have a bite of something naughty. I'm scared though because I am only 3 weeks out and I don't want to encourage bad habits.

Some ground beef with a sprinkle of cheese, greek yogurt, and taco sauce. I can't seem to figure out how much makes my pouch happy. If I eat more than a tablespoon at a time, I feel so stuffed forever. Surely this isn't all I should be able to eat.

I had/have the same thing in my right side. It got so bad that I ended up in the ER... Turns out, I have gigantic bruises all over my abdominal muscles inside. Hurts sooooo badly!

I had mine June 5th and have hit a stall as well. From what I have been reading, week 3 is about the time most hit their first plateau so today I upped my exercise and Protein to *hopefully* get the scale needle moving again...

Is this supposed to be Pgh pa? If so, I'm from the area as well. North hills to be exact. I am 25 and live with my fiancé. As amazing support system he has been, he hasn't experienced this and I would love to have someone who has shared this experience to chat with (I talk the poor mans eat off and God love him, he ALWAYS listens patiently). Lol

Oh no!!! I hope you're ok! That really stinks!

I had Dr. Courcoulas at Magee Hospital. Absolutely love her.

My first period since rny is due this week and I am dyingggg for a bite of chocolate and some heavy carbs (bread, pasta, etc...). This is so typical of my PMS symptoms that I know that's what it is... I am wondering if maybe I tried a bit of sugar free chocolate, if that would help. I went to the gym to try and get my mind off of it, but I could seriously cry. What I wouldn't give to sit with a bag of Oreos, a glass of milk, and some french fries right now...

Good luck to all of the surgeries this week!

I've been having crazy cravings for sweets allllll day. My day started with protein pancakes and I just had some frozen Greek yogurt with 1/4 of sugar free maple syrup with a tbs of cocoa powder mixed in. So. Yum!

Yes, that is for a 1/4 cup scoop pancake.

I will be 3 weeks on Wednesday. I am on soft foods. They went down great. Then again, I haven't had trouble with anything I've tried though so I don't know if I'm the person to ask. :/ I just take TINY bites and chew chew chew. It's worked for me this long. Lol
