Simply amazing! You look fantastic! Tell us newbies about your process. Workouts? Diet?

Thank you sooo much! I work out quite a bit and mostly do cardio and have been walking every night after dinner diet lots and lots of Protein, but it is a constant struggle. My favorite snack is mozzarella. I haven't had a lot of cravings, other than salt lol but I don't keep chips or anything around to tempt me

Hello all! I had roux en y gastric bypass with Dr. Dan on December 17th 2013. I am proud to say that as of today I am down 110 pounds

Installed the app and just got back from the first session. Anyone else interested? Deano

I'm in!

Down 80 pounds.. Currently down 100 I'll have to make an updated one. Feeling so good

Hey there I'm 24 and about 4 months out. Down 100 pounds if you wanna talk let me know I'm an open book

Hello there! I haven't been to Houston yet! But San Antonio is amazing! The river walk is a must.

<p>It's comforting to hear from all of you on this meat eating. I've had success with a little shrimp and a little white fish, and as I've said before, a little of the (bad) deli meats, like turkey ham. But all have to be cut small to begin with, no more than cubes 1/2 inch per side, and then chewed twenty or thirty times each before swallowed. I'm chicken of chicken! And I've got a beef with beef! I'll keep trying them every so often though, just to see if anythings changed. But mostly I'll keep eating Beans and peas and whey Protein. Like Greenize said, we're mostly vegetarians now.</p>

Agreed this makes me feel way better! I haven't been able to eat meat at a all and I'm 3 months out

Can someone tell me what foamies are?

Hey there everyone! I am a 24 year old post op RNY patient. I had my surgery December 17th so i am fairly new to all of this. I am relocating to Austin Texas mid February. I could really use a mentor and some buddies to show me around down there! Im very outgoing and would love to met some people who know what I'm going through!

I live in San Antonio I could always use someone to talk to let me know if you need anything or just wanna talk.

I chose RNY because my doctor felt it would allow me to lose more weight and limit my sugar intake. I also wanted to have a consequence if I eat something I shouldn't. It also helped with my acid reflux

I got this recipe from the world according to egg face. It's very easy on the tummy and yummy, too!

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

Cream Cheese chicken

1 package of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts

1 block of cream cheese

1 packet of zesty Italian dressing seasoning (You can find this right by all the salad dressings)

2 cans cream of low fat chicken Soup

Put it all in the crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours. My crockpot runs hot, and I cook it on low. When it's done, I serve it over noodles for my family. I take some and puree it a bit and store in 3 oz containers. It's yummy and goes down well.

Here's what works for me:<br> Ricotta bake<br> Cream cheese chicken in the crock pot<br> Baked tilapia<br> pureed chili<br> pureed sloppy joe meat<br> Creamed chicken in gravy (crockpot)<br><br> I tried tuna. Thought I'd die. <br><br> :-)

Yum! How do you make the cream cheese chicken? Or ricotta bake?

Hey everyone! I could use some help. I'm about 5 weeks out and apparently Mr. Grumps (my pouch) decided to make me a vegetarian. Every time I try to eat meat... He decides to mess up my day. Anyone have any suggestions as to things to eat? Also maybe some help on a good Vitamin schedule? Having a hard time remembering them. Thanks so much!!!

Hello. I hope this might help you. I bought from Amazon (you can find in any drug store), a pill dispenser that is Sunday thru Saturday and has FOUR (4) spots for your daily pills. This allows me to seperate my Vitamins with Iron from my calcium citrate etc. My boxes have Morning/Noon/Evening/Bed on them.....I normally take things around 9 am/1pm/5pm/8pm ish..........this dispenser is one big one that allows you to POP OUT that daily only and leave the rest at home...so, I have them on the go with me. I do my pills weekly along with my hubbys etc...it's easy, handy and I don't have to open up a zillion bottles each day, all day. For food ideas.....I am 6 weeks post op, gastric bypass. I have no issues with food. Doing a high Protein greek yogurt in am, lots of fish, shrimp, turkey and chicken. Plenty of cheese too. It's all about the Protein first! I am doing 1/3 cup per mini-meal. I am doing three meals a day, getting in TONS of Water (all zero calorie) and getting in about 65-80 grams of protein per day. Sometimes, I only get in about 50 grams.......it's tricky, but it's working! I am 37.5 pounds down in exactly six weeks....and I am losing one pound a day right now, (for the past 7 days). I hit a 13 day stall and was so upset! I was eating too many calories. So, I am down to 800 cal's max per day and I am losing like crazy. Good luck to you!!

Beans and cottage cheese, have you tried meat substitutes? They are packed full of protein... I like Morningstar grillers crumbles (ground beef substitute) and their veggie burgers are good too, they also have meatless meatballs and maybe try tofu? Tofu takes the flavor of whatever you cook it with but I can't do the texture. <br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br>

Omg the meatballs would be amazing!! I'm literally going to the store now! ????

December 17th! How is everyone doin?
