Hey guys, so I am almost 5 months out and lost a total of 60 pounds (14pounds was from my preop diet) so what exactly is this dumping syndrome people experience with RNY? I think I had it a couple times where I felt very nauseous after I ate something my body didn't like but that was more In the beginning. I don't feel that anymore and I am careful of what I eat. And as far as sweets goes when I went to support groups I was told no sugar or you will dump. Now after surgery my taste buds have completely changed and I hate sweets now which is a major blessing but I do however have a small piece of 72% dark chocolate occasionally. I guess my question is, does thi dumping syndrome happen from then beginning or does it sneak up on you later on down the road?

After 4 months out and 55 pounds gone, I finally stopped procrastinating and joined Barry's bootcamp in Sherman oaks. First off Let me say how much I loved everything about. The motivation, the attention from the instructor, the music. Barry's Kicked my ass pretty hard today. I must say I am proud of myself. Will continue for 4 times a week for a few months. Hoping for major results

I guess it's all about moderation. I have one small taco sized one every once in a while. Hits the spot

Has anyone tried the mission carb balance tortillas?? They are very good and have 6g net carbs. I eat it in moderation if course because I can't believe they're low carb lol. It's a quick fix for my cravings of wraps quesadillas or tacos and burritos. Let me know if any of you guys have had it. They are pretty pricy 8 of them for 5.99 but worth it.

Capsules are the best!! I hated the chewables ... Also I take mine with coffee the strong taste makes it impossible for me to taste the yuckyness in the vitamins

Wow congratulations. I think it is different for everyone. Sometime you can't control it. I think it really depends on what you're comfortable with honestly. I am still new and for me it's been a little over 2 months. My highest weight was 254 surgery weight was 240 I'm down to 212. I feel it's moving a bit slow for me but I am ok with that. It should start picking up as soon as I start exercising which I plan to soon. I hike on the weekends but it's just not enough.

You should feel full at 1/2 a cup to a full cup depending on what it us you are eating. If your eating high protein you should be full at 1/2 cup at least that's how it works for me. I'm 2 months out. I hardly feel hungry and after a few bites if food I'm done.

Guys I have this very bad craving for hot wings since yesterday! I want some soooo bad!!! I just finished an hour hike and I'm starving and am tempted. I am little over 2 months out and can eat anything pretty much except I stay away from sugar and carbs none of that stuff I have lost a total of 42 pounds since dec 17!! But today I want wings!!!! Lol HELP

Well that's the problem I don't have a hard time with food. Maybe if I did get stuck it would have slowed me down... Am I normal ?!

Omg I am having such a hard time eating slow ... I know it's all about chewing 100 times before swallowing, but why am I having such a hard time??

I'm a little over 1 month post op

@@loving lanci meee too!!!!!! I want some wine!!!!!!!!!!!!! People input please!!!

How many pieces of shrimp are you guys able to have? I am 1 month out and today I had 3 pieces of shrimp Alin with edamame and few bites of salad. But didn't eat much throughout the day had some cottage cheese in the morning and a small hot and sour soup with a few bites of chicken.

Yes me too!! Dr said it's normal. Drink lots if water and make sure you're getting your proteins. We should start exercising too.

My NUT says say bye bye to coffee for good. Caffeine irritates your stomach and could cause ulcers. Hello decaf! :/
