You are a beautiful young lady, keep up the good work.

I'm now working out 3 times a week and feel like the carbs help with my energy. I'm choosing to include a very limited amount of carbs, but I do eat from every food group. I figure balance is important, this new way of eating is for the rest of our lives. Proteins are still my primary source of food, but variety is the spice of life! Enjoy.

Thanks for the link, keep well.

Hi Crystal, I'm Patricia. I had my surgery at Toronto Western on Sept 5. So far everything has been great. Are you home already? Good luck, if there is anything I can help with let me know. The first few weeks were frustrating. Make sure to not over due things, I remember getting tired so quickly. Take care.

If its a small potato, I can eat a whole one with only half of the small chili on top. It takes about 30-45 mins.

Congrats! Sounds like you are doing great. I'm from T.O and I had my surgery on Sept 5. Sounds like we are at a pretty similar place. What foods have you been having problems with digesting? Hope things improve for you soon. Good luck.

I eat just about a half chili over one of their baked potatoes. Its high in protein and low in fat. I think it's a great fast food option, if you have to have one! I'm 9 weeks out.

Hi all Canadians I'm Patricia from Toronto. I had my RNY on Sept 5 at Toronto Western Hospital. Amazing staff and experience overall. My starting weight was 228 and I am currently 171.

I was in the hospital for 5 days after surgery. I was excessively tired, I couldn't have imaged going back so soon. I took six weeks, my job is very physical. I've been back to work two weeks now and I'd have to say it was the perfect amount of time. I really needed the afternoon naps I was taking after surgery. Rest is vital for a good recovery.

I love my Starbucks lattes. I have a tall non fat 1 Splenda latte. I treat myself once a week. I was never told to completely cut caffeine out of my diet. I have reduced, but not eliminated. I have already cut all sweets, couldn't possibly cut my coffee.

Hi tbooks So far so good. I had a bit of a rough start. Had serious blood loss, which lead to a couple of blood transfusions. It was pretty scary, but I had an awesome medical team around. I was glad that it happened before I was discharged. As for weight loss i've lost 18lbs since my pre-op shakes. Only 8lbs since the surgery, but loss, is loss. How has your journey been?

Hi everyone, I had my gastric bypass on Sept 5 and I'm glad I found this awesome app. Looking forward to having all of you for support and feedback.
