Here's a recent one. My parents live in another country but we skype often. We haven't skyped for a month but talked on the phone. Last week I was out of town. They called hubby to ask if I really lost all.the weight I "claimed" to have lost! Hubby told them that they wouldn't recognize me now. They think am avoiding skype so they wouldn't see am still as big! Supportive parents but who cares Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

The more Protein, the worse conastipation gets. I'm 4 months out.and still.suffer. I take Miralax mostly once a day and if things go bad I make it twice. My surgeon's advice anyway Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this one & it seems to have what I want. Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

After going slightly off track for a few days, I set my goal weight for Christmas, decided on eliminating all carbs from my diet. I put these in front of my desk to keep me motivated & on track. When I crave anything badly, one bite is all I take. Take it easy on yourself & set your next goal. Log everything & check it out daily to monitor yourself. hugs & good luck Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

I don't cook with it; I add a scoop to my portion before eating. If it's heated, it chuncks and am not sure how much good it can be, Protein wise I mean. Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

So, here's a concern am having. After my five week weigh in, my doctor advised me to increase my calorie intake to a minimum of 800 the days I work out and 600 otherwise. I've been trying hard to follow this closely, and I think it's working because I lost almost 5 lbs in a week. My concern is my pouch. Will it grow bigger becauase I snack on greek yogurt and low calorie chips? Am terrified For my regular meals, I still havw the same amounts with more Protein in. So?

You can mix it with your Protein powder, some ice cubes & you have a shake Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

I felt the same a year ago & started having knee problems as well. I had RNY 10 weeks ago and I haven't taken any medication for my knee ever since. It's getting much better with every pound off. I lost 60 lbs and still have 120 to lose. I also work out at the gym 4 days a week & feel great Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

My dietation said not less than 800 cals/day especially when I work out. am 10 weeks out, take about 80-100 grams of Protein and 600-800 cals/day (600 regular days & 800 workout ones) Am down 60 lbs and still 120 to go Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

When I crave I've cream, I take one Yoplait frozen yogurt bars. Much healthier Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

I almost cried today on the scale as it read 299 lbs. I can't remember the last time I was under 300 lbs. Yesterday I was 8 weeks out HW: 352 CW: 299 Still 130 lbs to my target but am positive I can do it. Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk

I have a question about carbs intake. Do we care more about total carbs in food? Or about sugar? Total carbs include fibers which, I guess, are good for us. Am confused & thought I'd ask you folks. Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk
