  11. I've not had any trouble with sugars. No dumping. I do try to watch sugar content but I don't like the 1 gram sugar protein drinks. Gag. I drink mostly water. I do the 1/2 sugar oj. My typical day breakfast: 1 cup special k protein cereal +protein from milk. Or 2 strip of bacon Snack: slice of cheese and crackers Lunch: apple and a jif to go peanut butter cup Drink water l day at work Dinner: about 2 oz meat, a couple bites of veggies cooked in bone broth (extra protein ) More water And that's about it. I'm averaging about 5 lbs a weight weightloss. So I'm not sabotaging anything. 110 lbs in 5 months I think is awesome. But I do worry about the hairloss. It has been my one diwnside. Energy is through the roof so I'm not lacking energy. I feelngreat. And if 2 bites feels me up I quit. I could care less about food anymore. But I do want to make sure i. Getting enough of the right things in my body. So if anybody has any food suggestions besides protein shakes which I honestly won't do. They are so gross. I'd appreciate suggestions.

  12. I have only seen my nut as required to get surgery approval. I live in a rural area and I have to drive over an hour to see her and she doesn't file insurance so it's all outta pocket. I'm having no luck in finding one locally that works with my work schedule. So my question is do I really need to see a nut. I'm doing great with the weight loss. Down 110 lbs in 5 months.I could care less about food now. I'd rather have apples in peanut butter that anything else I can think of. I do realize I'm not getting enough protein and my hair is falling out. But I figure I can save a few hundred bucks and just use google.
  13. Awesome job. You look great. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using BariatricPal mobile app
  14. I'm 5 months out and I eat apples and peanut butter pretty much everyday. I know it's probably not the best choice but it agrees,with stomach. The peanut butter is my protein and I make lunch out of it. I'm down 110 lbs so must be doing something right. I also drink trop 50 orange juice at least 4 days a week. It's my favorite 50% less calories and sugar. I think everything in moderation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using BariatricPal mobile app

  33. Yes my child is in therapy. So I'm making sure he is ok. Then I'm gonna work on me. This is,something that happened years ago and he just now found the courage to face it. Now I gotta be strong and face my demon which is my relationship with food. So I can be strong for my whole family. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using BariatricPal mobile app
  34. You are right. I over ate last night. I didn't want to eat supper and I hadn't ate since lunch. So I decided to warm up supper at 10 pm . Big mistake. It sirt on my stomach like a brick. Had the foamies. Finally just had to get rid of it. Would have been better to go to bed empty. I've had stresses before but this has been more than most could bare (without details). Imagine the worst and double that. I think I'm gonna take everyone's advise about food and delve into therapy. I can't risk going backwards. Thank you for your suggestions.

  35. Thank you. I will try and get back on track. I gotta be strong for my kid too. I can't let this break either of us. I'm an all around emotional person. So I should have known I'd one day have to deal with the over eating due to stress. It was always there to comfort me. I'm gonna try and halt that way of 5hen king and push forward.

  36. Thank you. I really thought I had a grip on the emotional eating. I don't stop my family from eating what they want. I even cook it for them. Hasn't bothered me. But this new thing has turned my world upside down. I was like a drug addict with the food at work. Eating anything I could put in my mouth. We had mini kit kat bars at work and I ate 2 of those. Had a sleeve of Ritz crackers. A bite off a dough nut. But didn't want lunch or anything healthy. I knew then the surgery was no quick fix. I've had stress since my surgery and overcame it. Guess this just rocked my world. Thank u for all the advise. I know I can power through. I gotta be strong not just for me but for my kid too.
