You do get scared but you have to keep in mind you are strong that is what I keep telling myself lol

I am one year post op and I can tolerate most everything however I can eat all of the bad stuff that has all the bad calories in it. It is very tuff to stick to the plan when you can eat fast food and really pretty much anything you want. I have been at a stand still in weight loss since January and this scares me to death. I don't want to stretch my pouch out but I really am struggling with everything. What are some things you all do to keep the cravings down. and what do you do when you have them. I didn't get fat by having self control and now I still don't have any. Any help would be great.

Thank you so much

That is the problem I think I really never had a program to follow was on my own so not sure what to do.

I am just a year out from my bypass and I can eat whatever I want just in smaller position and this scares me so much. I been counting calories and even tho I can't each as much I still can eat a ton of calories. I have been at a plateau for about three months now. I need some help on how to get back on track.

Love bug. Is it very expensive?

I have not been working out I am just not motivited sometimes. What part of Colorado are you in? I have had some emotional stuff going on with all the weight loss and the different attention that it brings. I am starting to see a counselor to see if that will help. I started out at 334 pounds and now at 250. if you would like maybe can exchange numbers. I am Sarah

I was about 2 weeks out and I was hungry I said it was head hunger most. I am not 10 months out and I get hungry my tummy will tell me HEY I NEED TO EAT !!!!. I do seem to still get hungry and I think that I am starving but I try not to eat. The one thing that I am finding that in the afternoons I want to munch on chips or something salty. I am having a tuff time with Protein and it not hurting my pouch so I am not sure where to go or how to get it all in.

I feel great but at a point that I can eat much more than I think I should and struggling with that. I would love to answer an questions that you have and wish you luck in your journy. I am looking for a pal that I can talk to too help thru these ruff Patches that I am having

HI Stephanie I am 10 months out from my RNY surgery and struggling with loosing weight., I am located in the Denver Area and would love to have a pal to talk to when I struggle and I am a great listener. Let me know if you are interested

I am right now at a little more than 1/4 of a cup but not near a 1/2. I am still learning when I am full and when I can eat more. I have slowed down eating becuase I was getting sick really bad. I wasnt keeping anything down,. I would eat and it would come right back up. So now I am eating slower. I have found that romane lettuce is much better for me than iceberg and I have to make sure that it is shreeded up but I am excited to eat it again.

One of my things that I am having a hard time with is not drinking when I am eating. How did you all not do this. I grew up always drinking with my meals. I dont want to strech out my pouch. Any Ideas would be great. Thanks

When do you know that you are over eatting. I had my surgery on Jan 21, 2014 and i am about 8 week on Friday. I am able to tollerate a lot of foods that I am not sure that I am to be eatting. I can eat salad which I was told that I may not be able to eat ever. The doctor is telling me that I should be at 800 calories a day however the dietaitian is saying that I still need to be at 400 calories a day... I am hungery at 400 calories and was not losing any weight. Now that I up my caliorie intake I am dropping weight every week. I just dont want to strect out my pounch and go back to the way that I was. Any ansers would be great.

I lost 26 pounds in the first week after surgery. Then I have not lost anyting and I am 3 weeks and two days. I have actual gain 5 pounds however I am sure that is all Water weight,. I have been really swollen for a few days. I am having a hard time keeping food down right now. I can keep the Soups down and refried Beans sit really well but nothing else. Hang in there I was told that the weight will start comming off about 6 weeks in to it and not to get frustrated.

Thank you all so much for the possitive reassurance. I guess I just thought that it would fall off overnight LOL

Ok I am two weeks out and did great the first week now I am not losing any weight. How do u know when u are eating to much or the wrong stuff. I seem to be able to tolerate things that I should not be able to. Also I have had my menstrual cycle since I came home from the hospital. Ugh I am not sure what to do..... please help

I am glad that I am not the only one that forgets that I just had major surgery. I had my RNY on Jan 21 and went back to work in 9 days and couldnt figure out why my body wont do what I want to. Just take it easy !!!!

OMG thank you music1618 I thought that I was loosing my mind. My mom had her surgery in Aug and she hit all of this and I thought she was going CRAZY so now I will know that I am going to be just like that. I am trying to learn how much is enough. What a learning process. But I am trying to stay positive.

Thanks I woulnt go back and change anything. Just a new way of living.

Ok so I am two week and one day post op from the RNY surgery. The first week wasnt bad I felt good was down 26 pounds in one week. Life is good. Well now to the second week. Not so sure what I have done. My brain tells me I am hungery, my stomach hurts when I put Water in it or anything. I just had a thought that my tummy will tell me what not to put in my mouth to eat. Yeah it doesnt do that. I have had a couple of moments that i was like WHAT THE HELLL DID I DO.... I just want to eat like everyone else. I want to go to the buffett and eat a ton of food. Then I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself to suck it up becuase you are gona be a HOT MAMA when this is all done. I knew that this process was going to be hard but I miss eatting lol.
