I have been a long-time blood donor and am wondering if any of you are still able to donate after having RNY?

Thanks! I'll try it!

I appreciate everyone's input! I did get the caprese chicken and it was wonderful. I rarely get in all my calories, so I didn't think that would be an issue. I got grilled veggies instead of mashed potatoes, but I only ate about a 1/3 of the meal, and that was over 3 hours time. I had a fabulous evening...

I'm thinking about this, minus the mashed potatoes. And, of course, I'll only be able to eat like 3 bites

I'm meeting two friends for dinner tomorrow at Applebee's. Does someone have a suggestion of something good? I'm 3 months post-RNY.

I like quest cookies n Creme shakes, did u try that?

Do u take the minis?

I'm supposed to take 1500 mg calcium citrate a day, and I'm really having a difficult time getting it in. I think part of the problem is that the pills are so big, and I need to take 2, 3x a day. I'm not crazy about the chews, because I'd really like to keep costs down. Anyone have any tips? I bought the powder, but that is 'grainy'... thinking of trying Calcium Citrate petites, but would have to do those 4x day...

I had RNY on May 8... I've lost 56 lbs. so far.

I'm from Adrian and had RNY May 8 with Dr. Carlin. Great experience!

Cupcake... I LOVE Dr. Carlin! Here's a pic of me and him with the 'Thank you' cookies I made for him.

I really got sick of protein shakes and bars fast, but discovered a wafer type "protein crunch", they taste good! There is more fat than most, but I will eat them...

I've had no weight loss for two weeks now! How is that even possible? So discouraged... Rny 5-8-17

I had RNY May 8, and lost 25 lbs. the first 3 weeks, then NOTHING for the past week. What am I doing wrong?!

I'm 3weeks post RNY and gained 2 lbs in the past two days. How is this possible?!

Do you think ham salad or sandwich spread would be ok (like pate)?

Well I tried applesauce too, makes me gag every time! I'm taking Prilosec, actigall, lisinopril and Wellbutrin.

Well I've never had SF ice cream, so I don't know how good it is. I know my boys haven't liked seeing me "not" eat anything and thought they'd like to know I enjoyed something on Mother's Day, even if I can't enjoy lunch with them.

My family is going to play putt putt tomorrow for Mother's Day and will get ice cream after. I wonder if I can have a little sf soft serve? I had rny last Monday, May 8. Thoughts?

I tried chocolate pudding, but cool whip is actually better.

I can't have applesauce yet...had surgery monday

Has anyone found something to mix crushed pills in that will NOT make me gag? I'm not especially sensitive, but I'm having a hard time with this...

Tomorrow's the day! I have to leave my house at 3:30 am to be there at 5:30 am. I'm so nervous. My hubby is also in the hospital recovering from congestive heart failure so now my cousin is taking me. I totally forgot about today being clear liquids and had a protein shake early this morning. Yikes!

Me too! No bra is NOT an option. Lol

I'm almost to the end of the first day of my presurgery liquids-only diet. I'm so hungry!
