How far post op are you? You can always try, but dumping is tough and can lead to further complications ? Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

greek yogurt, unjury chicken Soup Protein, sf jello/popsicles, COTTAGE cheese, milk, peanutbutter, baby food, i even blended some meatballs with mashed potatoes veggies and some chicken soup protein at one point. you have to get it in otherwise you'll lag in healing and feel worse for longer (trust me, i was in the saaaaame boat and only JUST started to regulate and getting in what i needed) goooood luuuck!!!

thanks so much everyone!!

Having a horribly difficult time getting protien hakes down (chocolate, strawberry-can't deal with the taste anymore) does anyone know if protien bars are okay? There is one that has only 2g sugar and 21g of protien but havn't seen ANY suggestions that thu are okay...anyone got any info for me? Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

I was 399 when I was referred to the program, I lost 30ish lbs in the 2yrs I waited for surgery, 25lbs on the 21days of Optifast pre-surgery and am now an amazing 330lbs! (3.5wks post surgery) Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

It's like a smaller version of a calzone ;P Gotta love our wacky Canadian ways! Should we tell them about beaver tails and Poutine? Lolz Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

If you are talking frozen pizza pop I would avoid that like the plague! It just seems SI full of fat/freeze/sodium/doughy badness it xouldn't possibly be good for you (aka may very well dump...violently) I have been craving pizza like a junkie so I got some lean ham, pineapple, tomatoes and reduced fat mozzarella for a tortilla wrap, gonna roll it up and grill it panini style for what I like to call a "pizza pipe" cut that bad boy in half and enjoy for lunch and again dinner!

I DID IT!! I ate out today! My hubby and I went to mucho burrito, where with the help of my restaurant card (pictured below) I was able to order a tiny kid's meal chicken and bean burrito (no rice, spices or anything extra) I ate two bites and was fully satisfied! Sat well and had choc milk after! So happy! Cost less than $5 and the burrito makes 4 me-size meals!! YAY! Big photo on left is for the ER doctors to remind them what they be careful of and shows a diagram of what was done, top right photo says the surgeon's name and surgery date, bottom right asks restaurants to let me order from the kids menu Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

Actually I JUST heard from a friend who had her surgery three years ago that APPARENTLY she was on each stage for TWO weeks!? Whereas I was only on each stage for a week each...has anyone else heard/done this?? Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

Cauliflower rice! I make mine with curry spinach and a hint of ginger!! http://www.delightedmomma.com/2012/03/cauliflower-rice.html?m=1 Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

These are the main four (have. 5th one that is very small and round) I have my surgery August 9th (22days ago) and the largest incision (the one on the left) has YET to heal! In fact I still have to clean it will saline every 48hours and sleep with a bandage on it! Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

I did the same thing today! Ordered a grilled chicken salad, I ate two or three prices of chicken and spent the rest of the lunch with my head in the toilet, same happened when I tried a bite of sheppard's pie (the beef) and oddly after a single bite of salmon (canned) suiucks! Some of friends have started to ask if I am bulimic!?!? Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

That is so funny, I have a butterfly on my chest between my bubbies and the surgeon was soooo worried about cutting it (she did a great job and it didn't even come close!) Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

Not only does the protien and increased veggie intake cause you pass more gas (A LOT more gass) but also makes it malodorous, also the fact that much of the digestive process is bypassed, all that fat and whatnot causes A LOT more foul odor...no one mentioned that in the edu classes either Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

Does or did anyone else suffer from these disorders and did the RNY do anything I ease some of the effects? I am 3weeks post-op and have lost almost 40lbs so far, obviously the weight itself wasn't helping anything but I am confident it ha already started to ease some of the major pain (back, hips ect...) Anyone else find this? Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

This is in par with what I have heard from the doctors, does anyone use thc (marijuana) for their fibro? I hear such conflicting opinions about the validity of it's usage... Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk

Ooh yes! I've had the edamame as well and it rocks!! Both are soo good for you and ridiculously easy to make! My hubby and daughter both eat it by the bowlful so I make large batches at home often, also good is red pepper, spinach and feta/olive!! Sent from my iPod touch using RNYTalk
