Jeep chick' date=' have you been to the Cranberry Festival in Wareham before? If so, is it worthwhile? It's this weekend and we were going to go Sunday. I've never been before.[/quote']

I haven't been before. Sounds like fun tho. Maybe I'll stop by as well. Love cranberry anything.

R u getting enough Protein and or portion size in at a time? Are you eating slider foods? Yogurt pudding etc?

I am getting enough protein (I finally reached my 75g goal!). Most have been slider foods. I don't think my meals are as well rounded as they should be. What are some things that you eat?

For Breakfast I usually have a 1 egg cheese omelet on a piece of low carb bread with sugar free jam.

For lunch I eat a grilled chicken breast.

Afternoon snack is Greek yogurt, string cheese, or a Protein Bar.

dinner is whatever I make that night... I try to keep it high protein/lower carb, but that's not always the case.

Sometimes I'll have a shake for an evening snack if I don't get all my protein in for the day. I've been averaging about 80-100grams a day.

Gave in to temptation and had 2 reeses cup minis. It is yucky to feel the rumbling in my gut, but kind of exciting at the same time that I guess the surgery is working on behavior modification too.

I had surgery June 19th and weighed 258-260. Now almost 4 months later I weight 211! Yay! 48-50 lbs in 3 1/2 months is great but I feel like it had drastically slowed down in the last few weeks. I was 218 sept 17 at my 3 month appt. so only 7 lbs in the last 3 weeks. Has this happened to anyone else. I know it usually slows down when you get close to to the 200 lbs mark and wonderland. Lol. I've upped my Protein so I'm drinking 3 shakes a day again and only eating once maybe twice of I'm lucky. I find it hard to eat more than that with my schedule and the don't drink 30 before or after rule. My doctor said to keep doing what I'm doing and it should pick up. I walk 2-4 miles pretty much 5 days a week.

Hope you all don't mind but the July group is so quiet I am Jong your June group :-).

Right now I feel like c**p.

Stayed out a bit longer than anticipated and had no Snacks with me. So when the family grabbed take out from the grocery store before we shopped I thought the yogurt parfait looked like it would work for me. Yogurt, granola, fruit. ... what can go wrong? Well half way thru got nauseous and crampy. So stopped eating. Went online and checked nutrition and it had 300 calories must have tons of sugar. Paying for it now:(. Lesson learned... always carry emergency Quest bars.

First, welcome welcome! :) I'm a Juner, but comment in all of the groups because everyone on this forum seems to have such awesome advice! And yes, a lot of yogurts have SO much sugar!! You have to be careful. It takes me forever when looking for a new flavor because I have to read all of the darn labels. Haha I always keep a Protein bar in my purse as well. I learned that one the hard way like you! ;) another good one is a baggie filled with smoked almonds. My favorite "on the road" snack!

Welcome to the group. Sorry for the lesson learned. I always have a quest bar or some non flavored Protein on me that I will mix with a drink :)

Welcome to the group!!!! :-)

Yea, things that i was brought up with that were deemed as healthy are not so great for us RNY folk :-)

Like most of us i tuck a protien bar ( Luna- Lemon) or some soy nuts and some crystal light in my pack so i always have healthy alternatives within arms reach. sorry to hear about your experience..... hope to hear from you , we are a talkative bunch.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
