I had a gastric bypass surgery back in October. This is my first post. My question is: are these OK to eat? Is anybody else eating them? I've been eating them a couple weeks and there one of the few things that get me close to full. Ideas? Opinions?

I've got a cousin in Washington Heights....easy ride up to her on the A train...LOL. I hardly ever cook...who does in this city, right? Anyway, it's easy to put your own meals together...and healthier too. You can PM me so I don't bore others on this thread and I can give you some of my personal experiences. I know everyone has their own way of doing things, but I'm finding it pretty easy to do it this way and it gives me a nice variety which helps not get bored with the same thing all the time. Oh and I also eat out regularly as well. I just make some better choices when looking at the menu and I do fine.

I'm literally 30 feet from the A train on 181. Just moved up here recently. Because of this I had to give up my dunkin donuts, Starbucks Snacks, and this crazy Irish restaurant all within the same one block radius. I'll miss them forever, but I'm just happy I am not going to be described at "the fat one".

Guess what....the more weight you lose, the less important the dunkin donuts and other crappy foods become. Not to say you won't want it at times, but it feels so much better to be smaller then the fleeting feeling of eating something that tastes wonderful but isn't good for you. My friend calls it a foodgasm. Short, intense, and gone in an instant...LOL. Except the consequences don't go away in terms of weight gain and all the rest of it...high bp, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.

I was on hypertensive meds for years. No more. My sugars are normal as is my cholesterol. All good stuff.
