  1. I feel a slow but steady loss is the best way physically and mentally. You are taking all the right steps, just follow your doctor instruction and it's great you are exercising! I had to stop In December because my low calories intake, but I'm getting stronger so I'll start again on Monday. ????
  2. Thank you! Is been a roller coaster. My head is not connected with my body. I feel still obese. I'm working on it.
  3. I had a RNY and pain is worse then c- section
  4. I had some type of period for 1 year post op, finally is been 2 month of a regular period
  5. I'm exhausted, specialty because I'm little underweight and that's all we talk about. I'm so tired of it. I start telling people I'm feeling better, I'm eating a lot! ( unfortunately I still can't eat much) with some proper I feel like they are sincere, with others I think they are just jealous. I can't eat out with friends anymore because they will watch what I eat and talk about my weight loss etc. can we talk about something else? At church everyone ask me about my weight, my family and friends all ask everyday if I eat. That's it! I'm tired to talk about. Even if I try to explain they said: well eat ice cream. No matter I explain to them I suffer from Dumping syndrome. I give up!
  6. Until couple weeks ago I was eating around 800 cal, I'm now around 1200 . I'm underweight but all my vitamins and blood work it's fine. I just saw my doctor on wed and he said I'm fine. My nutritionist wants me to upper my calories and gain weight. I'm fine I wish I had little more energies. Some days I push more food down but then is a struggle for hrs. I'm 1 year out. All my calories come from avocado, fage yogurt, nuts, beans, occasionally crackers or pretzel sticks, no pasta, rice, pizza, bread, it will fill me for the all day and it's hard on my stomach.
  7. Hi Julie I'm Italian from California too. I just moved in SoCal 12 yrs ago. I still cook all the Italian meals for my kids and husband, it's very hard to work so hard and then can't eat. But I finally eat 2 slices of homemade pizza tonight/ I don't enjoy food like before ????
  8. I just got a paleo cookbook, I'm going to try some recipes. After 1 year I finally start digesting some meets.
  9. Couple of years ago I took Wellbutrin and it worked very well for me, but I give me terrible hives after about 15 days. It's was terrible hives all over my body for 1 week. Took me about 2 weeks to slowly come out of it, Doctor things was the Wellbutrin reaction. Unfortunately.
  10. I have 3 endoscopes with balloon enlargement. Because of strictures. My weight is going up trying to eat more. But I'm still around 1200 one day I got to 1800, all healthy calories. It's weird that I already got 3 lbs tho. From 115 to 118. I don't understand if it's a real weight or I'm retaking water for whatever reason. Drinking about 48 oz of water.
  11. Today I'm on 1800 cal, all good calories, healthy foods, I made the mistake to weight myself tonight. 118 lbs my head it's spinning now. If I keep eating would I gain too much? And gain all my weight back? How do I balance?
  12. thank you! I'm working with both a nutritionist and a psychologist, today was good day I try to eat more, even had pasta, Greek yogurt, and finally some shaved meet with olive oil and lemon. I was able to keep it down. I need to let myself gain some weight and be ok with it. Because I had surgery to have a healthy life with my kids and husband.

  14. I had a stricture and enlarge 3 times. I do eat 5 times a day about 1000 cal a day
  15. No changes, I was thinking about dehydration but I was reading some infos and looks like I had to be severely dehydrated to have that symptom. My urine color is clear, and I been drinking about 40 0z water a day. I'm worry about malnutrition because I'm dizzy, and feel tired. I keep on loosing weight. And I should gain some
  16. I eat dark chocolate 72% or higher.
  17. My weight is getting too low. How do I stop it? How do I gain weight to have energy and feel healthy? I know this his sound crazy. But it's getting out of control. I never suffer for any eating disorder. Trying to push food but it hurts, and I vomit. A get crazy dumping with sweets. I'm hungry but I can't eat enough. 115lbs /5'6'/ 1 year out.
  18. Someone is telling me about this juice plus. Is it a good choice for us bypassed? I'm getting malnutrition and looking for some help. Premier makes me sick.
  19. I'm 1 year out of my surgery and for about 1 week I been having a salty taste in my mouth. I didn't eat anything salty, been eating some things for months. Anyone had this happens? My mouth feel like after eating a large bag of pop corn or chips. Even my lips feel and taste salty.
  20. On March 16th will be 1 year from my surgery. Was it easy? Not is not! Was it worth it? YES. Good luck on your adventure. Stay focus on your goal.
  21. No, they insist on protein protein and more protein. I'll see the nutritionist on March 17 so will see.
