So after my 1 month check up, I gave myself 2 weeks to try getting the protein in without shakes....I'm barely making it about 1/2 the time and not there the other 1/2....and I've lost like 1 1/2 pounds during those 2 weeks....so darn it, I'm back to a shake a day starting tomorrow. Grumble grumble grumble. Hate those darn things!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

So if you get bored I'd love that recipe!!! It look fabulous!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

I had about an ounce and a half, no problems.

So what's the delicious looking thing in the front that looks all cinnamony???? HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

So I can't find the thread now but someone suggested trying pure protein bars....yeah,not so much! Will try 1/2 next time (it was to replace the lunch I didn't have time to eat one day at work this week so I ate the whole thing!!!). I was dump-a-Licious!!!!!

Time grasshopper, time. You just had major surgery, nerves and parts and stuff are not necessarily working, I was at least a month out before I could start registering a full sensation, still don't get it all the time. Plus you're on liquids, the just pretty much roll through.....if you start questioning this already you are going to drive yourself crazy!!!!! Drink like you're supposed to, don't do anything to endanger your new tummy, it will come! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

So I'm on my iPad on the app and if I go to my profile and touch the spot where the photo goes it lets me upload from my camera or photo album.....I know Alex said it doesn't work on mobile but I've been doing it like this since against and changed my profile pic several times HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

What they said....plus what you had before is an entirely different creature. A catheter is annoying a bit but really is not ye huge deal some people make it out to be, just a fact of surgery!

If there's a good side to this.....I'm a fast dumper, not one where it hits hours later so I can at least tell what's causing it that and my desire to have dessert after dinner very day has completely been cured! I went to a baby shower today, had about 4 bites of cake, knew I was going to try it so I at a couple ham and cream cheese roll ups first to 'neutralize' the carbs so to speak. This is still a hell of a lot better than the damn band was!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Okay so are you asking what I think is causing dumping? I just seem to be very carb sensitive. My docs breakdown per meal is 20 carbs but if I get above about 15 I'll start the heart racing queasy light headed stuff, if I have more Protein I can handle more carbs, they go hand in hand. I cannot drink the shakes my surgeons office sells now, they are certain death. It's just a learning curve! If I ever decide I hate myself and deserve to be miserable I'll go drink a coke, that would be KILLER!!!!

I am NOT a sad girl....but I can't tell you how many times I cared at work that first month....I cried myself to sleep, I cried in the shower...I just cried . Tok about a month for me to feel like me. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Very similar experience, a lot of curiosity, and even more kudos. It's been awesome. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Homemade turkey chili, a little cheese and sour cream. It's cold and rainy and hit the spot. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Lol, it's like heparin but easier to do....you don't get over thinned out like you can with heparin. Been around for I dunno 6-8 years??? Probably longer and i just don't want to admit how old I am.

It's a blood thinner...used in RNY patients to prevent blood clots.

I felt better almost every day....week 5 I started feeling human. Week 6 I started feeling like my old self.

It's ironically amusing that I'm a dumper, I was the one prayin I wouldn't dump and so many here with they did but nope, it me. Dammit! I've had a few minor dumps but nothing even close to the day the cream of wheat kicked my butt.

Went to the movies last night a d the seatbelt roomie, woohoo!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Was at the movies last night with my kiddo and hisBFF and was amazed at how roomy the chair was!!! Yay!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225
