HW- 290, SW (4/8/13) - 270.6, CW - 251.5

Gosh I think most of us have experienced that horrible chest pain of over eating. Most of us are very aware of how we are eating from that point on. Well except me and I am a slow learner had to be miserable a couple times before I made the connection lol

Hi I'm 3 weeks out and there isn't any food that is tasting good. I'm not getting in my calories because nothing is good:( Anyone else have this problem?

Even my daughter who at first turned up her nose ate all I would share with her.
I am calling this 2 servings as I ate half and was very satisfied.
Items Needed:
12" pan
2 Tablespoons of jar Ragu snack sauce (where the spaghetti sauce is)
3/4 cup of Italian shredded cheese mix
15 slices of turkey pepperoni
dash of oregano
dash of garlic powder
pinch of chili flakes (optional)
1. Spray pan with non stick spray
2. Spread 2 Tablespoons of rage sauce in bottom of pan
3. Arrange 15 slices of turkey pepperoni on sauce (start heating over medium high heat)
4. Spread 3/4 cup of cheese over pepperoni and sauce
5. Spinkle dash of garlic powder, chili flakes, and oregano to taste
6. Once cheese is thoroughly melted slide out of pan and slice and enjoy

I know a lot of people ask about corn in general so that was one of the questions I asked my nutritionist yesterday as it is one of my favorite vegetables. She said that my pouch is now healed and that I could eat corn as well as other foods as long as I took them one by one and tried them slowly. I had a tiny bit of corn last night with dinner and had no problems. I usually have a Protein and vegetable for dinner, I chose corn even though it is more of a carb.of course I could only eat less than a teaspoon after getting my protein in. But boy was it good!

I started eating popcorn 8 or 9 weeks out.

I was just released at 8 weeks post op to proceed with caution. Of course following all of the rules as I am an RNY patient. I eat so little currently but I had peant butter for the first time this morning! Woo Hoo!

So I did my 1st month stats. I'm down 25 lbs from highest weight, 17 lbs from surgery weight. I'm down 28 inches throughout my body and 2 dress sizes. I say that's a pretty good accomplishment so far.

I just dont think I can do these Protein Shake anymore. I am so frustrated to the point Of almost crying. Having why did I even have this surgery moments. I am serious. Even looking at the cup I drink out of makes me sick. I have tried about every type too.

OMG! Me too! I'm constantly attempting to figure out things I'm smelling! Like a closed bottle of lotion, five feet away that hasn't been used in several months. Soups are grossing me out. Just looking at the picture on the can and thinking about it blended up...((cringes)) I had problems with textures before surgery...now it's worse!

When I go grocery shopping I can't go down the baking aisle (can't stand the smell of sugar or the spices) or the Mexican aisle.. The smell of the soft tortillas is SOO strong! I feel like after surg ur sense of smell is heightened!

Went to the doctor in a huge medical complex today. 6 weeks ago I couldn't walk it...today, no problem!

most importantly, never trust a fart! (for me, just in the first couple weeks) and I forgot~

Ugh...the smell I certain foods or even picturing myself eating certain foods makes me want to vomit! It's annoying and frustrating!

I am the exact say way.. Feel great all day!! Evening comes around BAM feel like crap! Dry heave or even puke sometimes! Not eating anything different then during the day! And if I even think about food I want to hurl! Makes no sense

I had my surgery Oct.28. I have no appetite what so ever. I can't even get down the pills (vitamins) except the chewables. The commercials on television are the worst. Definitely a life changing experience.

I feel great during the day! Just night time before bed I get horrible stomach pains.. I'm not sure if I'm just eating too fast or what but it's like clockwork! One week out and just over 18 pounds down!! Seems crazy to look at the scale and see numbers I haven't seen in ages!!! So glad we are all in this together! I've had a few bm's never a big amount and always very dark. I pee all the time tho!! Lol

Just signed my consent papers for the 28th of October ????

So got a phone call from my doctors office yesterday at 530 asking me to move my last appt up so we can make it as close as we can to my tentative date oct 27.. It's been officially set for the 28th!! ???? it's for real now the shock is setting in.. So nervous I don't even want to eat!! Now that it's down to the nitty gritty it's all moving so fast. Tuesday is my pre op group meeting!!!! Ahhhh!

Did they give u guys a tentative surgery date? Like my stuff will be all done (appts etc) mid October and I'm tentative for oct 27 mind u that could change because of insurance or some unforeseen thing but Atleast it gives me something to go off of!

Hoping to be in October as well! Set up for around October 27th if everything goes as planned! My mother and sister are both a year out so I kind of know what to expect.. Still very nervious!
