  1. I've done great since surgery in May but I haven't lost any weight in two weeks. I'm down 115 lbs but now the scale has stopped. I did add some pasta once a week but zero bread. I'm having about 750 calories per day and walking about 2 miles every am. Any suggestions?
  2. I am 3 1/2 months post RNY. I feel wonderful and have lost 100LBS since the liquid diet phase. I'm eating about 700 calories a day and walking 2 miles 5 days a week. I feel great don't crave sweets. I can't eat bread, crust or anything similar. It makes me sick...I also need to cut up my meat into tiny bit size chunks. Other then that I LOVE IT! I wouldn't change it a bit. I'v very very pleased with my progress so far and i feel 100%. Good luck on your decision...I highly reccommend the RNY!

    Anyone from Wisconsin?

    . I love Dr Garza and his staff. I am so happy with my progress. 100 lbs since surgery. I've followed the eating plan and walk 2 miles 5 days a week I'm around if you want to talk.
  5. Today is a great day! Today I hit the 100lbs mark. I had my RNY on May 12th and as of my weight in today I've lost 100LBS. That is just over 3 months time. I'm doing great and eating healthy every day. I'm at around 700 calories per day and walk 2 miles every morning 5 days a week. I've just started to tone and lift light weights at the gym. I feel great and can't believe that i fit into an x-large shirt now..I was 3/4XL before. THis is the best decision I've made and have 0 regrets. I feel great and have so much more energy.
  6. I hear you. I'm two months out and feel much better. It has gotten better.

    Exercise

    I think it was just a healing process. I'm doing good now but struggle getting. 80 grams of protein in but am trying. I'm at 700 calories a day and 60grms of protein.

    I have a cup a day. No issues at all.

    Does anyone have snacks

    When did you start popcorn? I'm a little over 2 months RNY. I LOVE POPCORN FOR THE CRUNCH.

    Exercise

    I'm 6 weeks out and am FINALLY able to work out. My energy has finally come back. I took my recovery 1 day at a time. Some days were ok and others I could barley get out of bed. Just listen to your body. Best of luck. Healing is a process.
  11. I made chicken salad chopped very fine and used fat free ranch dressing instead of Mayo. It was very good. You can add a little chicken stock to it also. Also egg salad chopped very fine with onion powder. I added strawberry protein powder to my yogurt and added it to SF pudding too. Also made chili then used a hand blender to make it smooth. It was so nice to eat something with flavor. Of course cottage cheese and applesauce no sugar added is good too.
  12. Went to the Dr today and in the 200s now. Doing good. Tried steak yesterday and it didn't go we'll. got very sick. Will wait a few weeks and try it again. But otherwise all is good. So glad I had RNY.

    June Post Ops!

    That is awesome.
  14. I am 3 weeks out from RNY and I'm still recovering. My energy is low in the afternoon. I took 5 weeks and will need every bit of it. I still need to nap in the afternoon. Good luck and dong rush back to soon.
  15. I've been struggling with energy the last few days. I'm getting protein in and walking at the gym. Yesterday I was do tired I could hardly walk. Doing better today. I guess it's all in the healing process. I did add carbs to my diet. I had mashed potatoes last night and 1/2 banana this am. Maybe that will help. Any suggestions?
