The weight must come off. . I know this will sound odd but I remind myself that if the body would permanently refuse to loss weight there would be no one that is anorexic. Please understand I don't want to be there. I'm just trying to remind myself logically. We are burning way more then we take in.

Oooooommmmm. (Meditation lol).

Almost 8 weeks post op and down 55 pounds. Feeling so good and so happy with my decision to have RNY!

Left- night before surgery 330 lbs.

Right- tonight 275 lbs.

U look great

Lol.... Good logic!

The first month was easier when I knew the things to eat like cream soup or yogurt..but now that I can eat regular food I'm struggling a little with what to eat so I know out of fear I'm not eating enough! I wish I had a laid out menu everyday to follow!

I'm not sleeping good either...i fall asleep and within 1/2 hour I wake up...this is every night...

I also have insomnia - sleep a few hours and then wake up - only since surgery - when I wake up I am very thirsty and have to drink water. So now I keep a full glass of water at my bedside.

Water at bedside with insomnia!!! That is SO me!

Hey' date=' jessouder, we have the same stats pretty much. SD was 11/29. I've been stuck at 215 from 236 for about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. I'm not too too worried about it. I know I need to add more calories by now. I just renewed my gym membership so I can workout a little more (lightly though because I'm not officially "cleared"). I think that and more cals will kick things back into gear.

Thanks! Yes I am in the gym only cleared for easy cardio right now ofcourse I try to push the boundaries on working out. Today I did some light lifting. Did you have open?

Been really paying attention to protein was in BJs came across these these amazing chicken meatballs. They were teriyaki I cooked up garlic peppers pineapple and the meatballs with just a dash of teriyaki sauce. Omg so good so excited to try the rest of these products in the line they had. It was called Harvestland. If anyone Shops at BJs

How much can you eat? I think I'm a freak or in trouble. I'm six weeks out and can eat a half a cup of food probably more but i stop myself and measure. Is this normal?

That's about a normal amount for me..depends on what I eat...some textures fill up faster than others...say I can typically eat 2chix wings and maybe atbs of potatoes at once, or 1egg and 1 1/2 sausage link..scrambled egg I can barely eat the whole thing but fried I have no problem....i don't always measure...i can feel my limit.....

Yes normal. I had 2 maybe 3 meatballs. They weren't very big. But didn't finish the 3rd. Had to make enough for me and my daughter which she surprisingly ate. 1/2 cup is about what I eat to.

I will measure out a cup of soup to cook it. Buti never come close to ever finishing it. Probably half is what I eat if that. I'm always nervous about stretching my pouch. Had orange juice for the 1st time got really sick. And I've gotten sick of

A couple other things to. If You eat to much it will come up.

Oh thanks!! It depends on what it is too. If it is soup the consistency of a shake I can do a cup but veggie or chili way less.

I had horrible insomnia before the surgery. I have slept like the dead since. I think I've only taken my trazodone to fall asleep once since Nov. 26.

My pouch has strong aversions to creamy food. I do much better with some texture. My current favorite is tuna salad (made with Greek yogurt and a tiny hint of mayo) with chopped pickles and onions on top of sliced cucumbers. So good. The tuna itself won't stay down but it will with the cucumber.

Oj was one thing I was told to steer clear of but I'm not a big fan anyway...basicallY avoid any juice unless no sugar added...if you do have juice it should be watered down..can have vegetable juice tho....that's what I was told....
