A lot of the early on struggles get easier. At least for us they did. I got sick quite a bit at the beginning. Had to be very careful with sugar content and especially certain meats. I still don't tolerate steak well unless it's a little rarer. Pork is really tough on me. But add foods slowly in small amounts. If it doesn't work at first, take note of it and don't try it again for 4 to 6 months. I don't really feel like my life with food is a struggle. It's pretty normal now just in small quantity. Still share meals with my husband when we go out. I swear it does get better.

I'm many many years out from surgery, but about a week out, I did do decaf coffee with non fat milk and I added unflavored protein powder to it.

I'm post op, 9 years out from RNY Gastric Bypass surgery. Maintaining pretty well. My husband and I had surgery on the same day. April 26, 2006. I believe our choice to have this surgery saved our lives. We have our daily struggles but nothing like we battled pre surgery. My highest weight was close to 300 lbs. I was 281 lbs the day of surgery. My lowest weight was 140. But I'm happy floating around 160-170. We both had skin removal surgery after a year and a half.
