My NUT said she never had anybody dump from natural sugars in fruits. Oranges are still tough on my pouch a year out from RNY. But I love my fruit!

I am totally going give your oil recipe a try!!

Thanks for the reply I'm going to check out that link now. I didn't realize after a while I would have to change how I eat - that's good to know! I was always Vitamin d deficient and I was reading that that can actually lead to back pain. I picked up some supplements and am going to add them to my daily regimen! Hopefully it helps. It's not debilitating pain by any means, just a dull annoyance. Thanks again!

If I was still in an office job I would have taken a month. Maybe 3 weeks...

10 months out from RNY: I feel hungry all the time, pretty much except for the hour or so after I eat. For example tonight I ate at 6:00, had a chicken breast and some salad, now I'm starving and my back hurts - lower middle of my back. I'm assuming it's connected? It's like a dull ache. I don't understand why I'm suddenly feeling so hungry? Basics: RNY 1.19.15, lost 85lbs so far, tolerate most everything I've tried, drink lots of Water, slacked pretty badly on my Vitamins the lasts two months but am back on track with them starting yesterday. Any insight?

I second getting a decent food scale - it's a huge help I use genpro unflavored Protein powder - it has 30g protein in a tiny scoop, I add it to my Water bottle (24oz) with a crystal lite packet and drink two of those per day. It doesn't dissolve very well, but as long as you give a few good shakes before taking a sip it disperses through the bottle and you can't even taste it. My NUT likes me to get 60-75g protein per day and there's no way to get all of that from food alone. Best of luck - your food choices sound perfect!

No I never called - I was fine I figured food that I swallow is bigger than that piece of gum, KWIM? Thanks for your reply though!

Awesome support, thanks everyone!

I've started mixing my 24oz Water bottle with a crystal lite packet and a scoop of genpro unflavored Protein powder - it has 30g protein in a tablespoon of powder. Early on you really can't get all of your protein from food. You're doing great so far hang in there it will get easier!

Should say *GUM* lol!! I was laughing so hard at something my husband said that I sucked my gum down my throat! Will my pouch get clogged?

I had RNY on 1.19 and am only down 32. I think you're doing great!

What are you cleared to eat right now?

My food palette is so much smaller... I can't stand most food. St paddy's day meal used to be my favorite, I was gagging while cookin it for the family and didn't eat a single bite. Right now the only food I can eat without feeling nauseous is fresh mozzarella, black olives, pickles, garlic hummus and triscuts - I still use unflavored Protein powder in my crystal lite and eat 1 sometimes 2 Protein Bars per day. Even yogurts are tasting too sweet. It's VERY depressing. Flip side - im steadily losing weight (down 30lbs since surgery 8 weeks ago) and am rarely hungry. It's common, and you just have to find a happy medium. Your tastes will Change on the turn of a dime, and from what I've been told in due time you will enjoy foods again

I don't know - I was allowed purred foods after day 3 (appleaauce yogurts etc...) but inwould follow your doctor's orders to be safe.

60-80g protein is good, make sure you're getting your fluids in too. 70-100pz water.
