I'm trying to get back on track. I had my surgery July 2013. I lost about 80lbs total. I got pregnant 9 wks post op with twins...continued to lose weight thru out. Now the twins are 2 and I've gained 30lbs by just reverting back to bad habits. I've decided to take control. I'm going to start attending over eaters anonymous tomorrow...journaling.... drinking more Water and just being more conscious of what I'm eating. I know that having a support system is important so I would love to buddy up with anyone so that we may be successful together. Sent from my LGMS330 using the BariatricPal App

Yea I tried that stuff when I first had my surgery.....ugh so nasty. I tried cold, even tried frozen as a slushie.....it's just gross. The only one I can stomach is Premier and Muscle Milk but Muscle milk has too many calories.

Count me in. .. I'm 233... goal weight of 218

Too cute

I am 13 wks post op. And 7 wks preggo....not planned went thru the whole shock and devastation period. Now I'm facing reality, with twins growing in me I have no energy for anything. Do you think my doc will put me on bed rest til the second trimester when my energy comes back.

Okay so I went to my Ob today and got sent to the ER to get fluids. In dehydrated my blood pressure is low and to top it off I have a UTI. They are going to give me an IV at home, waiting on approval from insurance.

I actually them a join request awhile back.....still waiting

So I'm 6 weeks preg. And for the past two days I have been very weak and faint. I have hydrated myself, took vitamins, and ate protein rich food but no improvement. To top it off TMI alert....I have been spotting brown and red and I have had some thick substance come out that I've never seen before. The spotting has been going on for over a week.

I didn't go to the ER. I did have a nutrition appointment scheduled for this morning and an OB appointment for the afternoon. I decided to wait it out. My sister brought out to my appointment and my nutritionist advised me to increase my protein intake and increase the amount of carbs. Although, with bypass you should always focus on protein I need to increase my calorie intake and I need to get some carbs in for energy for the baby. I then went to my OB appointment and they did an exam on me and saw the spotting and then gave me an ultrasound. Guess what!!!!!! I am having twins. So the spotting is considered normal. They advised me that because I am having twins I am having double the fatigue, double hormones, and double the discharge or spotting. They measured the babies and they are right on time. Then we listened to the heart beats and they are very normal. So surprise surprise to me.

I don't how I'm going to tell my surgeon. This is so unexpected.

Oppps I meant to say I'm almost three months. I'm 10 weeks. I go see my surgeon tomorrow and I'm anxious to find our what is in store. I barely meet my regular nutrition requirements.

LOL as I am reading this opening my Real Fruit Newtons my co-worker peeks over the desk to see what I'm eating lol smh.

Chobani Yogurt and protein shakes. Oatmeal and farina work great as well but there isn't much protein in those foods but you can always add protein. Sometimes I will have some canned salmon with farina...Tastes great.

My hubby wasn't on board when I decided to get RNY either. I think he was afraid of the risks, loose skin, and the potenital of me changing for the worst. It has been a little over two months and 42 lbs later he is not complaining....he is loving it....if you know what I mean

Congrats....that is awesome

Wow you look great

I had so many issues wih getting enough protein due to me not being able to stomach protein shakes. Well I finally sucked it up and sat myself done and had a serious conversation. I cannot get my protein in with food alone and as you all know I need to get it down. So I decided to get over my fear of the taste and focus on the reasons for having it. It is just like taking liquid medicine that taste horrible. I finally did it...... for the past several days I have been drinking protein shakes and it is only getting better. I was even able to break out the ready makes shakes that I hid in the back of fridge because I hated the taste so bad and now I'm having them for lunch and dinner. So better health here I come.

Nsaids have always worked better for my pain but my surgeon told me....no more. So I'm stuck with Tylenol.

Yea I'm going through the same thing. The weight is just coming off so slow and the last couple of weeks have been very discouraging so I'm going to just stay off the scale and just weight myself at my surgeon's office. Otherwise, I will just drive myself crazy. lol

It's always best to err on the side of caution, you should be in good health prior to surgery. After surgery your body is recovering and shouldn't be bound by trying to fight against a virus while healing as well.

I'm having the same problem....You have to ensure you meeting your goals for protein, water, and excercise. I have only lost 3 lbs in the last two weeks.
