Help!!! I just ate a whole chick fl a sandwich!!!:(. I fill like crap but I am so ashamed!!! I sure hope that don't stretch my pouch out. But I can honestly say that is the first time I hv went over board since surgery in April.

It's ok. Tomorrow is another day. I was just posting a few days ago how freaked out I was I could hold more volume of food on my pouch. Hang in there!

Hello everyone! I just found this app for my phone.super excited! I am now 9 days post RNY. My RNY was 8-14-13. I am feeling great except for a new pain I have been experiencing.

Welcome to the site. It is an awesome help! Check around and find the August thread if you want. You can then talk with others who had their surgeries around the same time as you. It is a big help when you are with others who are going through the same things! Congrats on the surgery. The pain goes away and you get better and better each day! Good luck to you.

Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I checked in. I'm in onederland. As of Tuesday (8/21/13), I weighed in at 199.7.lbs. My surgery date was April 8, 2013. I weighed 265 on the day of surgery.

Now for the bad news. I'm having a hard time getting in 60-80 grams of protein, and my hair is coming out like crazy. I'm wearing a full cap wig for now. I will continue to work on increasing my protein.

Good Luck to everyone!

Ok...so I can eat steak..I've had maybe 2 times previously and was fine. I cannot eat steak if its anything over medium though. Too dry. May be awhile before I can try to again cause it wasn't a pleasant experience. I did manage to stomach down some peanut butter for like the 1st time since I had it after surg. Maybe that aversion is going away. Bad news is chicken may forever be gone. I started gagging while watching travel channel with the husb and they were cooking chicken. My husb says he misses my southern fried chicken.

Are you eating meat yet? You get a lot of protein from thst instead of liquids &burn off more fat slso. I'm 1month post op & dr said quit drinking protein & get it from meats now.

I cant do chicken either. Mostly eat beef jerky and chicken or turkey sausage for meat. Havent had steak yet. Peanut Butter sits really well for me.

Been feeling down the last few days. Its alot of stress having company in the house for MONTHS! We get along fine and she is very helpful but I just want my own space!!!!! She went to sit outside with my daughter so I can actually catch the Packers game! Go Pack!

Oh yeah, weighed 244 today. Four more lbs until 100 total lost!

Is anyone besides me losing their hair like crazy still? I can not believe that is is coming out by the handful every single day. I have easily lost 1/2 of my hair. It is so thin. I am very worried. I get my protein in, I take my vitamins, I eat good (99.9% of the time). When is this going to slow down?

Mine is falling out by the handfuls.

I'm nervous because I don't have problems with anything. I eat chicken, beef and pork. Sweets don't bother me. It's odd.

That's a blessing. I went from loving everything to full out aversions. I haven't tried alot of sweets so I don't know how that would work. Chicken makes me ill thinking about it.
