I had a revision from a VBG/SR from 16 years ago. Back then I lost 90 pounds and kept it off about 4 years. This time (surgery was 10/24) I had RNY and am down 27 pounds as of Monday. I had the RNY because my silastic ring from my previous surgery was migrating upward and causing choking issues. I wasn't in the best frame of mind and definitely not the best health this time around. I mainly have head hunger. I was sent home with a fork - tender diet. I've definitely been cheating (i.e. had a fun - sized bag of Cheetoes, had a piece of Halloween candy less than 5 grams) so I bought baked Cheetoes and sugar free hard candy trying to curb this. I feel like I'm failing before I start. I have really bad fibro and am extremely exhausted almost every day. I lost my insurance Nov 1st. I am working on that. I go to a support group once a month, but they don't want to be friends really. I need more than a monthly meeting. Help?

I'm not supposed to be on Protein bars till 12 weeks. Just realized today that I'm not supposed to have onions! Thought that was on my list . I was so tired this morning I had to sit at the stove just to cook my Breakfast. I can already eat 4 oz of food and I will be 4 weeks Monday. I'm trying to contact a dietician today! Idk what else to do. Just tired all the time, but WANT to go out. Then, because I am housebound, the cravings kick in! At least it feels that way.

I'm a pain patient and spend a lot of time at home, more so inside with the weather. I'm losing weight pretty steadily these days.... down almost 40 pounds.

Chili home made no onions I use onion powder anyway put it in the blender after it has cooled never blend hot liquid! Anyway it actually taste like chili you just put it in a mug I have serving size cups bowls even plates and so on I pour it in there and heat it back up put some fat free sour cream on it and Sprinkel cheese on it all fat free I even use the vegan kind high in Protein anyway it's wonderful! It's warm taste just like actual chili! So many things after you blend them just suck! But the chili is great!

Can you have baked potatoes yet just don't eat the skin. Also drink true mint tea! Helps with the gas and it can smell awful just embarrassing bad! It the mint tea dose the job of getting rid of it and there is no smell if you do have gas.
