My nutritionist preached the following for each of my six mini meals: 10-15 grams of Protein, 5 grams of Fiber, no more than 10 grams of sugar and no more than 10 grams of fat.

I'm four days out. I had the RNY bypass. Are you not getting nausea medicine? My procedure was Monday. But I was up that night walking the halls. I took the nausea medicine plus they gave me the patch behind my ear. It helps amazingly well! Walking doesn't sound like much but walking paired with two types of nausea meds and the pain meds helped drastically. I might not seem like it now but it really will get better day by day. Hang in there!

I can't believe you're getting pudding!?! I was told nothing that didn't fall off a spoon like milk. Try adding a bit of fairlife milk to make it more liquified.

Sent you a friend request so I can add you

I am still on the clear Proteins. I like the Isopure Green Tea Lemon. 40g per 20oz. bottle. I am only 3 days post-op though. I have not moved to the liquids yet that include non-clear Proteins yet. I have Isopure 0 carb 0 sugar vanilla powder and Syntrax nectar Cappuchino powder ready for that transition. I hope they are good too!

2nd the Oikos triple zero recommendation... that stuff is delicious. I've never been a fan of greek-style yogurt before, but for some reason I love this stuff. Been eating a half of container for a snack just about every day.

Then you have unrealistic expectations. A lot of people can tolerate eating garbage after surgery-- your two slices of pizza isnt anything special. Toasty hit it right on the head.

The surgery you got is not a therapist. It will not stop your food addiction. You can definitely sabotage it. It was meant as a tool to help you lose weight, but it still requires hard work on our part. We have to change our pattern of eating. I was taught that 1/2 of the meal should be Protein, 1/4 fruits/vegetables, and if you can still eat, the final 1/4 should be whole-grain or complex carbs. Although having 1 (one) slice of pizza every once in a while won't kill you, making a habit of having that or other such foods (such as hamburgers) will stop or reverse your weight loss.
Grazing (eating small amounts throughout the day) will also sabotage your weight loss. Drinking high-calorie beverages will also sabotage your weight loss. Both of these habits get around your surgical restrictions.
For your food addiction, you should definitely see a therapist. Group therapy might work as well.
Your weight loss is up to you, not the surgery. It was not a magic bullet to lose weight.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I had surgery Monday and came home last night. Walking helps so much with soreness and bloating/gas. The more you walk the easier it comes. Take your pain meds since they are offered and ask for nausea meds too. It'll get a little easier everyday.

Well, 8 hours to surgery! I'm excited and nervous. I feel prepared but still a little nervous. Other than having our daughter I've never had a hospital stay or surgery! ????????????

Surgery Tomorrow NERVOUS , any last minute pointers?

10/12 is my day. I've been doing great until these past two weeks. I'm saying good bye to ice cream and looking forward to this journey. I'm very nervous but more excited!
