What do you do to make it palatable? Pure pumpkin doesn't taste that fab.... HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

I do 2-4 colace a day then 2-3 times a week end up taking miralax HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

Ohhh some of that looks fabulous!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

I had to do my revision in stages because of scar tissue, inflammation, etc. I will say recovery from band removal was a piece of cake....except the stinking port site!!! That was a booger! Bothered me for weeks. I took off 2 days longer after my RNY then I did with my band. Pain was not bad with either but I was really tired much longer after the RNY...I also had a little crazy emotional drama/funk post RNY that was a first for me. Eating and drinking post-op were easier with the RNY. You'll be so glad you did this!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

I love the cinnamon laughing cow with apple slices! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

Oops!!! Dannon light and fit 2X Protein Greek...80 calories, 12 grams of protein. The new blended flavors are totally smooth and you'll probably get 2-3 meals out f a normal serving ate a TON of yogurt early on, still eat it almost daily. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

My sons favorite lunch is now a tortilla with laughing cow cheese and turkey rolled up in it and dunked in salsa so we go through a pack of tortillas a week! No complaints, it's low fat and reasonably high Protein so I'll keep feeding him! Wal.mart always seems to have them, although I did buy 1 size up once....but too big for me!

Week 6 or 7....as soon as I was cleared for toast I had Peanut Butter toast . Little piece of heaven!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

Don't forget jello! I'd make it and drink it warm for a change...but yeah, you're EXTREMELY limited at this point...sucks, but you'll get through! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

Actually by the bread and English muffins. One of my go-to dinners when my son is gone is a tortilla with scrambled egg, cheese, and salsa. Quick and not too bad for ya! Or a tortilla with retried Beans, pre-cooked chicken,cheese, and salsa... I'm all about easy when I'm kidless! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

If you can find a sugar free maybe???? HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

So these are my preferred tortillas and bread. I can eat 1 small tortilla or 1 slice of bread (toasted or unloaded) without issue. As you can see, the tortillas are 80 calories, 13 carbs, but 9 are Fiber, zero sugar, and 3 grams of Protein. The bread is 40 calories, 9 carbs, 3 of which are fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 2.5 grams of protein per slice. I eat probably on average 1 tortilla or 1 slice of bread a day. Always follow your plan, just thought I'd show you what I've discovered, through trial and error, that I like and that irks within my guidelines. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

Yup, exactly how I was told. I SOOOOO don't get enough fiber any more...and my gut doesn't like it HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.4

I was on a quest for healthy comfort food recipes last night and found this: I used a small Mission Carb Balance flour tortilla (80 calories, 13 carbs but 9 grams of fiber so really not bad, 3 grams of protein), about a tablespoon of the avocado sauce and crammed 3 ounces of the chicken onto the taco. It was light and bright and crunchy and absolutely delicious (and the 9 year old loved it). We didn't have ancho chili seasoning so I used lawry's fire roasted chile and garlic seasoning. Per MFP-1 soft taco with 3 ounces chicken was 263 calories and 26 grams of protein, 19 carbs but again 9 of those were fiber..... Definitely going on my favorites list!!!

I think I was allowed toasted whole wheat bread at 6 weeks 3-4 weeks later I could add tortillas. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.6

I have a friend who had his removed this week due to erosion. Said the same thing, no symptoms at all except he could eat a lot more. He almost never got stuck or had GERD. No tummy aches. Just a big appetite. Crazy!!!

Don't freak!!! (Easy to say, I know). There are so many things that can go wrong with the paperwork trail, talk to your program director tomorrow and call the insurance company too. It could be as easy as someone clicking A instead of B when entering your data. Good luck!!! Fingers crossed for you!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.6

Ohhhh that's harsh what are the chances you stop that close?!?!?! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.6

202.4, officially half way there! July was not a good weight loss month, however, prior to RNY I would have gained at least 5 pounds with all the stress and crap. Instead I lost 3. That still qualifies as success in my book! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 202.6

For me personally the only time I've gotten foamie with RNY is when I took a bite that wasn't chewed well enough and it was sort of 'stuck'. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 204.2

Morphine pump but didn't use it much. Just not a fan of how pain meds make me feel (but I did use it some!!!). Apparently the IV Tylenol has been around a while, just not used in the US until recently. Who knew?!?!?

And decaf hot tea. I've found that sipping warm beverages seems to relax things and ease the gas as well. Plus when I feel puny I tend to drink hot tea. I guess it's one of my comfort foods. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 204.2
