Weight Warrior

Has everyone noticed we are are a great looking group of people? and we smile alot..... have a great night A poem: my protien is high my carbs are low. ill be down another size before the first snow. RJ

Excellent....ooooh thats a lie :-). had a breakfast disaster yesterday. me and my adventerous side decided against the better judgement of my sane side to try a turkey sausage, egg white on a tiny whole wheat bagel.for breakfast. had two very very well chewed bites and it got STUCK like a car on the Schykill expressway (philly ref) it was so bad i had to get off the trolley to get "relief " ....took two hours to get my shit back together again. i really hate these eating lessons ....... oh well back to scrambled eggs. Damn you Bagels !!!! lol

Awesome! have a great day RJ

Rhyzell, i do a similar thing. i wear military style belts and the tail keeps getting longer and longer :-) great to see your doing so well . save that belt as a future trophy

my team has said the more protien the better. I average 80 to 100 g per day. from my understanding that hair is basically protien the more you feed it the less the hair loss....makes sense. the biotin. came from a fellow RNY patient who had the surgery 8 months before me and she had had minimal hair issues. so it comes from actual experience. and Cathy has a powerful head of red hair :-) hope this helps.

How is your daily protien intake? taking Biotin?

looling great Julee, i can see it, cheeks, jowles, eyes,shoulders and neck. these are only head shots so its a tough question to answer. i struggle with the the same issue then i check out my hiney in the mirror and lots of action going on back there :-) have a great day RJ

very excited for your and congratulations on 19 years. and that is very sweet of you to say so. i have been helped on this site and i pass it along . but again...thank you :-)

Sara.....im over the moon happy for you. i was very emotional when i cracked the 100 barrier....i am emotional now reading this. a big virtial hug from me. RJ

Protien shake. its easy and i can grab on the go. its fills me up and helps burn fat.

vitacost.com is a great source for Protein and Vitamins at very good prices and more than $35 and shipping is free. ( not trying to sell you anything) just a tip until you find local shops and they have some great natural foods that are hard to find. I live in the Philadelphia area and natural foods can be a challange :-)

I was surprised how spices do not bother me. maybe because they are in smaller portions. i use Lousiana hot sauce in lots of dishs... great on eggs . Again since you eat in such smaller portions you may find, like alot of your fellow RNYers that you want very bold, spicy , savory, tastes. since the majority of sweets are off the table for a very long time if not forever is my understanding.

I lived off of Hummus and started day one of the soft food phase also refried Beans are also great. I would add unflavored protien powder to them, at that stage if you are going to the trouble of eating make it count as a protien

Way to go Julee! im impressed :-)

Way to go Julee! im impressed :-)

Im 3 months out and it still happens , mainly when im introducing new food . start small and chew. keep a list of what works and what doesn't. Either way you wont forget it . some foods for me that suck and get stuck are salad greens ( horrible feeling ) Watermellon Tortillas Bananas stay away from anything the is "dry" So far everything else seems to be moving along . my Surgeon say try them in 4 more weeks . I did and they still dont woirk ...oh well RJ

Excellent news about the shirt fitting , Its a great feeling and you look Awesome . Too Bad about being a Steelers fan You people on the Left side of the State confuse me he he he two of my good friends are transplants from out west and they break out the terrible towel every game. enjoy the game Oh and ......GO BIRDS !!! E A G L E S RJ

Carol great news!! I still think im going to wake up or my surgeon tell me they have to reverse the RNY and give a YNR RJ

Just walked in at 430 on a Saturday afternoon to find no one has posted today. This is a good indicator that all of us are out enjoying life :-) i myself just popped in to change, take my vitamins and hydrate then head out to a local irish pub to see my buddys band tonight. Who else is with me....LIFE IS AWESOME AND GETTING BETTER EACH AND EVERYDAY...can i get an Amen! RJ

Alert: little victory.... not sure this is an actual victory or more of a happy observation? last night was hijacked by three friends and we had a good old fashion midnight cruise. made a pilgrimage to the Llanderch Diner. This local diner in 2012 became a semi famous spot to go in Delco when they filmed a large scene in it from the movie " Silver Linings Playbook" well for years i could not fit into a booth. but last night i fit with room to spare. ahh a return to a normal existance is a welcome relief......had an awesome time.

Thats fantastic news
