My doctor required testing for all substances before performing surgery.

I just tried to cross my legs because I was reading this thread and I could do it!!! Have not crossed my legs in years! So excited right now!

Mbrock so sorry you are going through all of this.. I thank you for sharing your story. I hope you get better and I wish you the best. Everyone should know the truth that WLS is not without complications and it is not for everyone. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks everyone! I am so happy I found this group! I am going shopping today and now that I know what to get it will be easier.

Thanks to you both! I go to the store and I really just wander around not really knowing what I should have on hand when the cravings start but you both have given me some great ideals of what I need to get. I feel better having some sort of plan when the craving starts again! Luvlife we are close in surgery dates I am glad you are doing good! Keep it up!

Luvlife thanks for the advise. I am going to try the cucumber and string cheese. It is getting harder for me now then it was. I do not want to fail at this it is too important.

I had my surgery on 7/31/12 and I have lost about 40 lbs. Today has been rough for me. I feel like I am starting to crave junk food again and at lunch I ate CHIPS and salsa at Applebee's I also had some chicken breast. Why am I starting to crave junk again? I need help because I am wanting to start snacking and grazing and I know that is not going to get me anywhere..ugh. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes

I would buy it for sure! I have such a hard time choosing food.

Congrats that is awesome!!!

I am excited too! I started last week!

I know what you mean sometimes I feel regret myself. Just know that you are not alone and keep fighting through. I hope it gets better for you soon.

So sorry about you being sick. I hope you feel better soon.

I miss nacho bell grande and mt dew from taco bell. But I don't miss the weight I have lost and that is worth giving up nachos.

Hi everyone! So glad I found this forum. I am 40 yrs old and had RNY on 7/31/12. I have lost 19 lbs as of my two week post op check. I have found that this is harder then I expected but very rewarding also! I have struggled with weight issues since I was a teen and I feel like I have been given a new lease on life. So even though I have good and bad days I look forward to the journey!

I am almost 2 weeks post op and I have had the WTF's did I do almost everyday since surgery. I am not going off full liquid diet until the 16th and I cannot wait. I think we will make it through this and one day we will be able to eat some if the foods we liked in moderation. Head hunger is awful and that is alot of what you and I and most people experience. I just keep telling myself that this will pass and I have to accept what cannot be undone. I hope it gets better for you soon!
