Not really. It is hard to keep on track . I make myself go to the gym because it makes me clear my head and if I could eat bad stuff and not have to be in pain for days I would. But I always ask myself is it worth 3 days of being sick. And when I slip and say yes it is worth being sick, I am sicker than the time before. I just keep omitting stuff that makes me sick. Fried food, meat, sugar , dairy. And I still don't like my body without clothes. But I do not want any more surgeries. I got married last year and quit my job. Then had surgery on my rt foot, then fell and broke my rt wrist, then fell and broke my left ankle. I am still unable to walk but I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. The struggle never stops

food sticking still happens 5 years after RNY. I had to omit meat. Fish and seafood with small bites works. Also, my Doctor gave me a tip that works for me. Lay on your right side it helps the food move better but when in doubt I hate to say it but vomit. If it last longer than on hour vomit and give up whatever you ate. Then try again another time if it happens again I just stopped eating it.

Try freezing Protein Shake & eat with a spoon. It takes longer to eat and for me felt like I was eating . Also I was told do not use a straw to drink. I also used sugar free pop sickles to help with head hunger and to hydrate.

sugar free pop sickles help or free Protein Shakes and eat like ice cream. You are doing great. I had to have surgery twice 25 years ago the surgery was done badly and I developed a leak I started at 410lbs from age 18 to 29. After surgery the 1st time I stayed at 225lbs until I got sick and had surgery again I started at 275lbs and now I stay at about 180lb unless I get sick then I loss 40lbs but fight to gain it back so I can have straight

Increase Protein. I can't do lactose or sugar post op they both cause stomach pains and dumping. So I did no whey protein 60 per day and I started loosing weight. After 5 years I still have to remind myself to make sure I get protein. I don't eat meat because it sticks or causes obstructions so I do fish and shakes and veggies

I went back to work after 2 weeks, I am work junkie . Pain meds where liquid hydrocodone. The pain was pretty bad for the first 3 days but mostly weakness kept me resting. Walking was the best thing for pain,gas and weakness

DL no pic required but that does mean all of us get crazy little pics of you in our head like:
You are a super hero just wearing a thong and cape. Or a sexy CIA agent sent here to protect us from stupid people hurting our feelings or just a guy who likes dressing up as the tooth fairy. Haha

John, I asked DL the same question in a private message. He gave me his reason but I still think of him as a secrete agent CIA. But I was way off. Haha

I use my fitness pal on my iPhone. I love it and it keeps track of food, Water and activities. Let's u set playlist of music while giving time and distance

Thanks, getting hard to make myself eat, nice to have some good ideas

I already miss my scale. But holding out until 2 months to weight. But if it has not moved I am calling in John and DL. Come down to New Orleans and the scale bashing party will be on

Looking foward to dating. I know it is crazy but I an gay and have had 2, 10 year relationships but over the past 3 years felt like I had settled dating jerks. Looking forward to having the confidence to say no to the bad dates.

Call your doctor

I still go back and forth from sofa to bed and it has been a month. My body pillow is my best friend she follows me no matter where I sleep . I am thinking of giving her a name. Haha

I went to my first post op surgery support group last night. Everyone had so much worries about letting out the secrete of surgery. But basically I think as a group we all agreed that it is a very personal choice. This is x2 for me so I just feel so depressed watching people lie and fell guilty about it now. I am sure I change the subject a lot but I am also gay and have a rule if u ask me I tell the truth. I have been out the closest for too long to start not being honest.

So sorry you are having such a bad time. You have a tough life but it is your life. 1st the wasting food issue, freeze leftovers in ice cube trays. When they freeze put in ziplock bag mark whatever u put in bag. 2nd you do not need a gym, put shoes on and walk out the door. Give yourself 1 hour a day for you. Walk, take a breath, on days you can not walk take 2 cans of anything you have in the panty and work your arms. Take time for you and take a long bath. As for your husband not being supportive, make your own support. Use this group and remember it is about your happiness .
