Ok... No more steak for me !!! I'm on the process of dumping. Probably from the grease from the steak and I want to throw up but I can't... Ohh God please help me !!!! This is horrible and all I can see in my head is the dang steak and its making me feel sicker!!!

2 1/2 oz ribeye steak on the grill and 2 baby carrots!

I know it's hard but try not to let it get to you!!! The rest WILL come off!! I know it will! Just follow your Dr.'s advice and just enjoy your new body!! I have like 35lbs. till I reach goal but I'm loving my body! Reminds me of high school days! I was given some short fitting dresses size small and medium and I took one look at those tiny dresses and said there's no way these will ever fit me! I tried them on and even the small fit( a bit tight, but passable) I wore one with some new wedges to date night with my hubby, then afterward I had to stop @ the store... No joke 6 men hit on me in the store and I felt awesome !!! I'm soo happy Had this surgery!!!

I had severe gastropareris which was the main reason for having the surgery... Now my stomach works again and digest all my food !!! So happy and feel fantastic '

DL.... U are my inspiration !!! I am 5 months post op and my nut isn't focusing on calories counted only ounces. She had told me at my 3 month follow up that at that point I should be up to about 4oz per meal 3 times a day with no snacking in between only 2 protein supplements. But as I'd now I can only eat 2.5-3oz per meal. I'm not worried about my calorie intake at the moment.. I only eat protein and if I'm lucky a bite of veggie. I have followed all the rules and don't cheat at all. My concern however, is after I reach my goal. How will I know what I'm doing?? You are very informative and knowledgable about calories and conversion and everything I would like to know! I think u should teach a class to new RNY patients!!! Thanks for helping us newbies learn and succeed !!!

Yeah I can't eat more than half either but sat night we went out to a club with friends and I was eating one... I guess because I was talking I didn't realize I ate 3/4 of a bar and about 10 min later I was dumping... It was awful

Half a protein bar

I have discovered the quest bars... They are pretty good if heated for 10 seconds.. A little on the sweet side but tolerable but I can only eat about half at a time or I dump!

I remember being excited by adding coffee to my protein, it felt like heaven.. Now I'm completely turned off by it because I drank it every morning like that.. Now I can hardly get it down : (

I just had a month long stall @ 4 months post op. i was at 162 for a whole month!!! I finally brought through the stall and now at 156. I hope your stall eventually breaks !

I was told if you subtract the carbs from the fiber you get the "net carbs" so lets say it says 21 carbs and 11 fiber your net carbs are 10... Meaning only 10 g carbs... Anyone else hear of that???

Mami. I'm sorry this is happening to you : ( I've been through very similar situation... I just want to let u know u are in my prayers!!! I know the road seems long, hard and u feel alone and are probably feeling overwhelmed as well but it WILL get better in time and u will come out a stronger woman that ur kids will look up to! Just take it day by day... I am always here if u need a shoulder to cry on or just want to vent feel free to PM me anytime! I hope things start to look up for u!!!

Some day stay away because peanut butter is very high in fat... Alot of RNY patients use PB2 which is a powder form of peanut butter that has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You can find it at GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe and Walmart. You can simply add it to your protein shake and its very good!!

Went to a clam bake. Trued to eat a clam but after chewing and chewing an chewing with no success I spit it out and moved on to steamed blue crabs!! They were delicious ! It took me forever to eat because I had to break them open and pry out the meat so for the first time I threw out my 20min to eat rule. I picked through 2 crabs and had 2 bites of crab dip... Now I'm just worried... Did I eat too much, did I eat too slow... Why can't I just enjoy my dinner???

Finally !!! Ok so I had a stall and gain and last weigh in I was 162lbs. Today I am 156.5 !!!! Total loss this week was 6.5lbs ! So happy!!!

You hit the nail right on the head !!!! I really hate that... How you have to break down a serving size... Come on, it's such a pain!

I'm still on 2 supplements a day as well!

2.5 oz grilled tuna steak with 2 little Lima beans!!! Very delish !

Just make sure that your calcium is calcium citrate and not calcium carbonate.. Alot of over the counter calcium chews are calcium carbonate so beware !

Most over the counter calcium chews even at gnc are made with calcium carbonate and not calcium citrate. We RNY patients need the citrate because it is absorbed soo much better. The carbonate even in non RNY people is less absorbent and usually needs to be taken with food. Always but calcium citrate!

On the quest bars... I leave mine in the hot car and its warm and soft and for a protein bar it was pretty yummy!! I was looking on their website and they sell no carb noodles one is like a pesto fettuccine and was was a regular spaghetti noodle, might try them and see how they taste!

Happy Birthday !!

Happy Birthday !!!

Yes GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe will both take back opened containers of all their products. I have found that mixing my choc protein with 3 oz of liquid then adding that to my decaf coffee really helps masks the taste of the protein.
