    Gun swallowed!

    Hi I am pretty new to this site and I just stumbled across your post!! Are you ok? What happened with your gum? My doc told me I could never have gum again and I thought he was being dramatic but he told me it could get stuck the pouch, requiring surgery to remove. Did you contact your dr?

    Protein Bars

    I have heard a lot about quest bars! Do you order them online? I checked my local Sams, Costco, and walmart and I didn't see them.
  4. I'm doing well now just having trouble getting enough protein/calories on most days. I think an important thing for me is continuing to keep protein supplements (I use Unjury) around to add to my food to make my meals worthwhile. I get full so easily that I often find myself waiting too long in between meals. I don't feel hunger per se, I just sometimes feel a little tired or I notice that it has been a few hours so I grab some Greek yogurt or something. How about you guys? What stages are you in?
  5. Thank you and I couldn't agree more! I don't know what I would have done without the support of my family. This surgery is the most terrible and wonderful thing I've ever gone through all at the same time!! The pain (both literal and the learning kind), the mood swings, feelings of regret, small victories, just everything rolled into one amazing experience. This website app makes it a more interesting to be able to see other people's experiences.

    Protein Bars

    I recently got into Atkins meal bars particularly the cookies and creme flavor. Out of all the ones I've tried that was the least dreadful! But I've found myself not to excited about bars either, just have them as a backup!
  8. My name is Corinne and I had gastric bypass surgery right before new years eve Dec. 30, 2014. My starting weight at the beginning of this process was 314. I am 5'7 and have always been a curvy girl but my "come to Jesus" moment was when I found myself exhausted just from playing with my niece for only 10 minutes. I have never been insecure about my weight but I knew that I wanted to be around for my family and have a family of my own someday. Add to that taking blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and dealing with joint pain after a knee injury I knew it was time to make a real change to save my own life! I am 32 years old and want to start fresh. I also am motivated by a desire to get healthy overall, not just until I reach my goal weight. At 3 and 1/2 months out I am down to 248 pounds now and would like to get to 150. I am having trouble getting the energy to workout due to troubles with getting enough calories in but I am a work in progress as we all are. I, for one, do not plan on going back to the old me! I am super excited to have found this forum! If anyone has myfitnesspal please add me my name on there is corerox. I am also on Fitbit but I haven't figured it out yet looking forward to continuing to explore this site! Good luck to all.

    MyFitnessPal

    Hi everyone I am 11 weeks post op (gastric bypass on 12/31/2014) and I was hoping to make some new myfitnesspal friends. It is a great little tool to help me stay on track (or a reminder to eat more protein). I think having friends with similar goals helps so feel free to add me! My name on there is: Corerox
