Hi Amy, This is the right place for all your questions and support. All the best!!! -
Sweet eaters - what was your story with gastric bypass?
enjoyinglife replied to salubrino's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do not get dumping syndrome and I eat whatever I want. (sweets included) I stay very active and I use my food scale to measure out my portions. On weeks where I feel a little bit out of control I go back to counting calories. I also still weigh myself every Monday morning. I give myself a 5 pound swing either way from my goal weight.All the best!!! -
Hi Tami, Congrats on your success!! Do you have support groups where you are? Nothing beats human interaction in my book. When I start feeling like I am going off track, I tell myself to live in the "now" and get back to basics. For me that means two things: Exercising for 30 minutes a day and keeping my portion sizes under control. (Keep using my food scale) I tried kayaking this summer and I love it. So, maybe try a new activity?

Question about time off from work
enjoyinglife replied to Mobeans63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took two full weeks off of work. I had zero complications. I didn't have a lot of energy the first week. I didn't do anything around the house. I had help for that. I also don't remember driving at all. All the best!!! -

30 or 60 minutes after a meal?
enjoyinglife replied to goodnuff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do 15/15. I still won't drink and eat at the same time. I know others post-op that do. -
a switch flipped and now I'm always Hungry
enjoyinglife replied to cadladykim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have found that sometimes I mistake my hunger for thirst. On days that I drink my 80 to 100 oz of Water, I do not eat as much or feel as hungry. My snack idea: water... -
Jack links jerky bites post op
enjoyinglife replied to ChattyChatterton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started off eating the cans of shredded beef jerky. It is made by Jacks Links. My NUT had no problem with me doing that. I didn't start eating the jerky until I was cleared for stage three foods. -

Congrats!!! :) -
About a year ago, I had a female co-worker tell my good friend (also a co-worker, and female) that: "I never noticed Trever when he was fat." I still don't know how to take that. For the record I have yet to understand what women see in us men.

The only fruits I have tried so far are strawberries, apples, and watermelons. I have had no issues with those. I haven't tried bananas yet. They just don't sound good to me.
