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! :/

Surprisingly according to my NUT people do really good with salads at about 4-6 weeks

So today is my daughters 9th birthday and I am 3weeks post op. I decided to take both my daughters out for lunch to the Grove in LA. We had lunch at cheesecake I are from th skinnylicous menu a small plate of tuna tartar very small portion but it was enough for me. Then we decided to walk around and go to the farmers market. As I am walking I feel as if I keep getting lightheaded more and more. Because I was in such a hurry when we left the house I forgot to grab my protien shakes. Anyway I googled vitamin shoppe and luckily there was one across the street from the farmers market. I got there but it felt like it took me forever. I asked the guy to help me out he grabbed the shakes for me said that my blood sugar is probably low that's why I am feeling like this. I quickly drank the shake I started feeling better. If I was a few mins late I would have passed out and freaked my kids out. Thank God there was the vitamin shoppe close by!! Has anyone else experienced this ?

Please connect with me Kstepanyan

I've been allowed everything as of 3 weeks just puréed ... My NUT said salads I can start at 4 weeks or 6weeks whenever I feel I am ready...

Lettuce turkey wraps with some salsa also you can use Pinterest for some wonderful ideas. They have bariatric friendly recipes also check it out!

Just had an appointment with my dr today and she couldn't stress enough how important it is for us to get the protein intake. I had been doing very bad in fact hardly taking any and she had a long talk with me. Now I am home sitting in my kitchen for the past 45 mins trying to finish a premier protein shake. I completely understand what you're going through as I am on the same boat. But I've decided to put in my big girl panties and make this happen I cannot end up in the hospital I have two small children that depend on me. WE CAN DO THIS!!

Yes I had surgery on dec 17 th and I was feeling the same exact way. It gets way better trust me. I would cry everyday for the first week. I am doing much better now i am on purees now. It gets better hang in there.

I'm on purees too ( I don't actually purée them I chew a million times and swallow knock on wood I've been doing pretty good) my dr said that if you're craving potatoes sweet potatoes or yams are a better choice.

Costalchick I am right there with you actually... I chew chew chew!! But for some strange reason soda is a crazy craving right now but no way I am not even gonna touch it! No sweets for me either. So far so good ...

I am 2 weeks out and on purees and soft foods and I don't have trouble eating some foods other patients day they have trouble with. I do not eat any sweets or carbs and I eat very small portions. So I guess everyone's different. If the scale is moving I wouldn't worry about it.
