Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

I had my surgery the same day as you. I hit 50 pounds Monday. I am amazed at how much better I feel and moving is getting easier. I am still on the soft diet and slowly incorporating more foods. I haven't tried raw veggies/ salads/ nuts yet. I was told by my dietician to get my protein from foods not supplements but that is hard too. I still take one supplement a day.

Awesome job! I just started salad stuff 2 weeks ago. It all feels okay. I haven't done raw carrots. I'm trying to get most of my protein from food but its so difficult. Salmon doesn't agree with me. That has a high amount of protein. I will have to try again. keep up the awesome job!!!

This is definitely a process. I have had a few stalls myself. I was losing like crazy in the beginning but now its just a pound or two here and there. We just have to be patient and trust that it's gonna pay off. Be encouraged

Hey when was your surgery? I notice my weight is not flying off like it was anymore either. And I'm eating more. Just wondering how far out you are and how far out this is supposed to happen.

Oh, ok, mine was the 13th.

I received my syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel today. I mixed it up added frozen strawberries, blended. It tastes like I'm drinking a fuzzy navel without the alcohol :-) I think these will work for protein for a while. Can't taste the strawberries.

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 234.8

My husband ordered himself a pizza for dinner tonight. Part of me is annoyed' date=' because I feel like it's kind of rude to order a pizza and eat it in front of me, but on the other hand, he shouldn't have to give up his favorite foods just because I made this lifestyle change. He's one of the lucky ones, blessed with being naturally thin. Jerk. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

It bothered me alittle at first to. But he was not the one addicted to food so I had to keep telling myself that. I have young kids that eat small little meals through out the entire day. Then my husband comes home and we eat dinner. And yes my husband happens to be one of those guys who can eat anything and weight the same. By the end of the day I am so sick of being around food I cannot eat. So at least take out is better than you having to make homemade pizza!!!!!! It does get easier

Day of surgery I was 240 now I'm 197.. I was just wanting to see if people that had surgery around the same time have lost that much .. I don't know if I'm on track or I need to step up what doing...I worry because I can't drink the protein drinks. Since I had surgery I hate everything sweet and them drinks taste like pure sugar and make me sick. I try to eat a lot of protein in my foods but can only eat a few bites and I'm full... Tks ????

I was 255 the day if surgery today I was 217. My surgery was Dec 10, I feel my weight is coming off slow compared to others. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week but I feel it's not coming off as fast as the first month and a half. I too am not getting the protein I should. I only liked the banana but it has gotten to the point I can't even drink that. I need to find another drink with lots if protein. Let me know if you find anything.

Having the same issues as you weight loss slowed down and I've been more hungry this week esp. Than normal. I guess I need to learn to drink more when I get hungry. I was worried about the hunger everyone I've talked to us like I can't believe your hungry and your not even 3 months out.

I get hungry too

You are doing well. I was 237 on DOS and this morning I weighed in at 189. A lot of foods that I loved before, just the sound of them turns me off. Chocolate, blah, pizza blah, most all meats, double blah. I can eat very much and I'm full too. Have you tried the Special K Protein? I love it. W the FF milk you're getting about 14 G protein. I got my syntrax nectar, fuzzy navel in the mail yesterday. I like it. It has a strong taste of fuzzy navels but I blend mine with frozen fruit to make smoothies. So far Ive used strawberries. The chocolate, vanilla and those other thick protein drinks I can't handle due to the sweetness. I could right after surgery however not now.

I got tired of yogurts for now. I'm just not used to so much dairy products. I still love string cheese though. I do what I can to eat the proteins vs supplement, but my body needs to cooperate w me.

I haven't been able to work out in 6 weeks. On Jan 29, I had a complete hysterectomy then complications :-( I'm still on a light duty where I can't do a lot, so I don't like that. I was hoping for surgery to go off w/o a hitch and ended up w complications. But as for the RNY, no problems with that surgery :-)
