Before I had the rny I could usually take it or leave it on the sweets NOW I absolutely crave

them!

I don't think I experience what I used to call hunger. It's more like head hunger most of the time and I feel empty. It's hard to explain.

Man I've missed being on this forum! I have lost 113 pounds since my surgery December 11, 2013 and I have lost 10 sizes in clothes. I am a little bummed because I would LOVE to weigh 130 as my ultimate goal but my surgeon said that it was too much of a heft goal and to expect to lose another 20 lbs but it would be really hard. Kinda

bummed me out but nevertheless I am continuing to work out and strive for another 20 to 30 lbs. How is everyone

else doing?

I am 1 yr 1 mos out of gastric bypass surgery and on Jan 1, 2015 had a gallbladder attack. I hurt under my right rib cage through to my shoulder blade. I thought it was a trapped gas bubble but it was not gas. The pain also radiated across my stomach also. I had one large gallstone but my gallbladder was inflamed and enlarged so it was removed. Never had any other attacks like this one and I am sooooo glad. Just thought I would give you an idea of what my attack felt like.

How is everyone ? We all seem to be in our own little worlds now! I am at 97 lbs down but I think I am losing in inches now! I can tolerate chicken and some ground beef at this stage!

I don't know about anyone else but I am having to exercise now to get these lbs off! I hate to exercise but I live seeing the lbs go down!

Totally agree that I wished I would've done it sonnet also. My wanting something to eat comes and goes. It seems like some days I can eat more than other days. Today was one of those days where I could care less if I ate or not.

I have lost 86 lbs but I still want to lose about 50 to 60 more. I cannot eat things like steak, pork chops things like that. I can now tolerate ground beef, beef tips with a lot of juice etc,,, I have a hard time getting my Protein in daily and I have a little Hair loss but I didn't have a lot to begin with so I hope I don't lose more. I have had to learn not to eat too fast because I will get sick so I am doing much better with that.

I can't "feel" my pouch I don't guess but I hurt or tighten in my chest when I am full.. Does that count as feeling your pouch?

Lilly I don't have that I don't think. Every now and again my pouch gets irritated and it's best I just do Protein Shakes but it's not all the time

How are you doing on your Protein Shakes? And no meds is right you might want to call your drs office just in case

I use Miralax and you just put it in Water it dissolves! That is safe for even young kids!

Miralax and if that doesn't work suppositories or enema.... Drastic but if you are miserable then it's worth it!

Ok I know it's been said we have extra hormones running around in our bodies and mine is going nuts!!! Either that or I am going through a mid life crisis... I can't seem to sleep and i know it has been said you replace food with something else addictive... I'm scaring myself!!!!

I totally understand but don't give up on all of us yet!????

Everyone on here we all need all support we can get!

Sorry u no it! I read all you post and you are not being ignored by me! I always value what you say so don't feel that way!

I am like you. One day I like something the next I don't really care to eat it. I feel like I waste more food. What's really weird is I can't eat left overs reheated it does not set well . I usually throw it back up!

Gran grape I like just not sure about the lemon juice? Is stevia something we can have? I have heard of people using guava nectar I wonder if we can have it? I know I am not getting all of my Protein so I need to start eating my protein bars more!

Lilly that sounds interesting what flavor do you ultimately taste in that drink?

No meds I don't really have time to make a smoothie and I don't really like the texture of smoothies for some strange reason!

Does it leave that after taste like a lot of the whey Protein does? I appreciate all of your replies!

I am about 17 lbs from hitting 100 lbs total loss! Do y'all have a good Protein Shake mix that doesn't have a horrible whey taste after it? Maybe something from Walmart I like Bariatric Advantage but it is way too expensive for me right now. I am applying for a new job and the way I have my emotional ups and downs it kinda scares me! Prayers that I get it and then prayers for me to handle it when I do!

I have ups and downs too! Sometimes I really don't want anything at all. Bad thing is chips and carbs agree with my tummy better than most food especially eat. I can only eat Beans so much without being tired of them. Wish more people would comment on here cause I start feeling like I am alone in this journey sometimes!!!!

I started at 294 and I am at 211 now but I would live love to be at 130 which is my ultimate goal but I will take 140 or 145 no higher

Love love

Congrats I am 82 lbs down
