there us an app for that. iphone has an app that when u walk or run with ur phone it will keep track of ur steps etc.

I have been doing it for two weeks. it has helped boost my weightloss and i can see a difference!

Ok so I'm three days away from my two month post op mark. I'm so worried cause I haven't lost anymore weight and I'm adding new foods. I'm worried that ill gain weight or that I've lost all I'm going to lose. Preop weight was 236 current post op 195. I was so happy to reach 195 and now I'm worried cause the scale has not moved in weeks. I do Pilates and strength training for toning. I am a lot more active. I am however under a lot of stress. I broke out in hives last night and had to go to ER and get a shot. It was a steroid! The doc said I had no choice because of the rash. So now I'm really panicking. Steroids equal weight gain. I know the shot is temporary and won't last but a day or so but I don't need any help gaining! I guess my question is am I losing weight at a normal rate? Have I stalled? Help! My goal is 145 realistically but really want 135. I do drink tea with sweetnlow and water with crystal lite. Only one slice of toast a day with sugar free jelly. Any ideas?

I hated it when I felt like I had no energy. My iron and b12 helped. I'm 6 weeks out or so.

Dumping is horrible!!! I've had it happen daily because I have yet to learn how to slow down to eat. But I had a horrible dumping episode tonight and I thought I was going to pass out! Stay away from dumping!!! It's horrible!

What happens if you don't get all your protein in? My surgery buddy and I are having the same issue. Not many we can tolerate. I just look at my protein and throw up. Sorry TMI. Any help would be appreciated.

What does the liquid protein taste like?

Dumping is not fun. Almost everything I am supposed to eat doesn't want to go down or goes down and wants to come back up. It feels like your trying to throw up sticks. It's so uncomfortable. It doesn't feel like it does presurgey. I have never been one to throw up but I went to a restaurant with my family and had two bites of mashed potatoes and had to run to the bathroom. Some times it hits quick and others it takes a min or two. My surgery buddy n has the same issue. It's like we can't move on with our schedule of foods we are supposed to eat. But I guess what makes it ok is that food is hardly ever on my mind nor do I have cravings! And that's awesome!

That's not far. I love BCS. Ill be in the temple area soon!

Has anyone or does any know if the south region covers plastic surgery after RNY and if so how long after surgery. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

See your PCM every month for six months or you may be able to find a RNY education group you can see either through your surgeons office or at your surgeons office. I did that and it worked.

I have tricare but I heard once you have one you can't have another. But I'm sure there's away around it. What region are you in. Ill ask around and see what I can find out.

Most problems are that most if us only work one muscle of the arm. We need to work all of them. Massage helps and also they offer cellulite massage at some spas that you can get in your arms, or a body wrap.

Check out some if the protein ideas on here. Like the tasteless ones. Isopure is one drink u may want to try. It has like 40gm protein.

Yes it's great! Your face will feel like a babies bottom. It erases fine lines and dark spots. Worth it!

I'm one month post op. my inner thighs are starting to sag and under my arms by my arm pits. That's after one month! I'm 36 and preop was 236 and now I'm 207. My elasticity was I thought good but apparently not. It depends on a lot of variables.

Has anyone had a consult from the Docs in Mexico? I've been quoted by several docs in us for 15k and thats for a complete body lower body lift including thigh lift and breast aug. How much less is it in Mexico? Just curious. Thanks!

That happens to me as well. Take colace and a liquid kind that came from my doctor.

Gummys are great! Just chew to liquid and take ur Iron.

My doc said one cup of coffee or wine won't kill you. And he is one of the inventors of the new techniques and education based on RNY. Just a thought.

I eat popcorn with no issues. It's also a freebie. It can't be loaded with butter though. Also Dollar General has huge boxes of pop corn and it tastes good. My kids prefer it over the expensive brands like Orville, pop secret and act. Saves money. Especially when you have a household of 8!

I'm one month post op and I was eating lunch meat tonight which is on my accepted foods list. I took a couple bites, chewed it up well and I swallowed. About five seconds later... I had to throw it up. Why? This happens alot if foods aren't soft. I can however eat pop corn with no issues. Makes no sense.

I'm sorry this may sound dumb but what us fake ground meat?

Great idea! I'm a newbie on here. My email is boo769600@yahoo.com

I just hate the grit and thickness of some proteins. I am going to order the Unjury not that so many have said good things about it. It is cheaper than the jay Robb and I would rather try something cheaper that all if you have recommended then spend more money on a big tub of protein that I wouldn't like later. I just worry because it's the only thing I'm failing on, is getting my protein. I know a lot if this is trial and error but I'm scared ill start putting on weight and I don't want that at all. Thank you for all your help.
