The things I would do for a soft shell taco LOL

I have yet to see anyone say anything less than 60 grams a day. I was told 60-80 grams a day and at 3 weeks out I'm hitting just above 30. It's a process so don't beat yourself up if you cannot get that much in rigiht away. Some can and some cannot initially. But we'll get there eventually. My goal is to get up to 100 grams to avoid the hair loss (if possible)

Good luck!!!! Let us all know how it goes when you feel up to it!

Eggs are a no-go for me. I had to lay down for an hour the other day after having 5 bites.

While people may not agree with life choices I urge us all to remain respectful to one another. People come to RNYTalk for uplifting and support. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinions and can voice their concerns lets try to do so in a tactful manner. Mami you seem very troubled and the instability in your life is apparent. I will say a prayer for you and your family. I do not agree with getting a boob job if you're trying to save to leave an abusive situation. To each his own. I will say that as a person who was raised in an abusive household I resented my mother for not leaving and using excuse after excuse. I would have rather been poor as dirt and living on assistance than stay in a volatile home but my mother chose to stay because of "comfort." Please be aware of how being in a situation like the one you're in damages your children psychologically. Good luck.

Has anyone had hummus?! I'm buying some tomorrow.

You look great!

I'm feeling pretty good. Only pain when I move certain ways on my left side. Back to work full time. Still working on getting my protein and fluids in but doing better than before. As of Friday I weighed 259. So I've lost 20 pounds since surgery and 31 pounds since the start of the pre-op diet!

My favorite aunt has told me my whole life to "spread my wings" and live my life for me and I look at this step of getting the RNY as one of those HUGE steps. So I'm getting the words "Spread Your Wings" with the date of my surgery underneath

HW: 290 SW: 279 CW: 259 Down 31 lbs if you include the pre-op diet and 20 lbs from surgery

Hi, I actually have non-alcoholic fatty liver and that was my surgeons reason for suggesting WLS. He took my gallbladder out in Nov. 2012 and noticed my liver and said that weight loss could reverse it.

Let me know how it goes!

I'm only on my 3rd week post op but I was able to walk a total of 45 minutes today!

I'm on my third week and struggling Protein wise as well. If you're feeling down maybe you should talk to a therapist. And as always consult your surgeon/nutrition about your protein intake!

My multi vitamins are gross. Chewing them makes me gag. I have to find better tasting ones. Which do you all use?

It would make sense but I can't even fathom how a mistake like that happened!

That's so scary. You have a hell of a lawsuit on your hands if he did. But hopefully whomever put printed the CT just wrote the wrong procedure. Definitely go back and find out!

Ridiculously tired of them already.

Good luck all you October's!!!

I have picked my niece and nephew up when they were about to fall down the stairs.
