As much protein as I get I don't know how I could be losing muscles. You too I hope. I don't think I could even get on a massage table.....much less stand to be rubbed and I LOVE massages. Hoping for a better day tomorrow for us both

Thumbs up for the squatty potty

I call those "butt rockets". I eat so much fruit, it makes me wonder what it would be like without it

But how does this work after RNY if we cannot absorb nutrients from food???

I love the Premier Protein bars and they have 30 gr protein but 290 cal. I think only 2 gr sugar. Variety box available at Sams or Costco. I try not to eat a whole one, but carry one in my purse and eat a half if I am traveling and need a lift. I also like the Hydroxycut Bars 18 gr protein and 190 calories

IBS with constipation before surgery. Miralax gassed me really bad so someone here suggested sugar free Milk of Magnesia. I got Walgreens brand, tastes awful so I put the max dosage in my morning smoothie (no pun intended) and works good

I have lost 82 lbs and about 60 inches.......I lost diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, chronic pain & my walking cane !

Thanks everyone. I saw my surgeon last week for my 6 month check up and he was thrilled. Everything is going well, I will see him at 1 year and he wants me to be at HIS goal of in the 140's......he said "lose all you can, it's like money in the bank". I already have sharpea dog butt and thighs LOL but I am healthy!!!

I have to put Miralax in my shake for constipation and it caused me such gas. Anyone else???

I started using SF Milk of Magnesia, couldn't find it at Walmart but get the Walgreens brand at Walgreens, taste like $%## so I put it in my smoothie, does not gas me like Miralax did

My doc said Florettes only as the stems can get stuck, same with cauliflower

Pure awesomeness.....

Surgeon asap, something is not right

Surgeon, OB/GYN and NUT asap

Thank you

I eat quite a bit of fresh fruit like apple, grapes, cantalope, fresh pineaple, blueberries, mango, orange. I limit banana because of the high calories and carbs, I just put a few frozen slices in my shake. I buy in season and freeze where I can have them losose in a bag and keep them in the freezer. I also eat fresh peaches as we grow them locally. I am fortunate to have 28 apple trees. I love greek yogurt and cottage cheese and that goes quite well with some fresh fruit.

I am almost 6 months and I still keep it pretty simple. You might try lean lunchmeat ham or turkey etc wrapped on a low fat cheese stick (string cheese) I don't really enjoy meat... check out recipes from theworldaccordingtoeggface.com She has some realy good ones

I was deficient as well and my psychiatrist (Gasp! YES have one!) wrote me an RX for the once a week dose till it came back up then I take 5000 IU a day. Low Vit D is very dangerous and CAN add to depression as well as other things. I do not "do" the sun because of skin cancer

Amen and a lot of it is jealousy

Is that dumping or you just got something stuck? I had that when I ate too fast last month and it was a tiny pc of peach stuck......

?????

I had to lose the wt I gained during the surgery...actually twice. I lost pre op 17 lbs in two week diet, and then gained during the surgery from all the Fluid... at one month I had lost a total of 37 lbs including the 17 during the pre op diet. Every one is different, so don't compare yourself with others. Stay the course, it will happen.

I only had broth twice.......but my surgeon said I could have the protein shakes after I got out of the hospital, between that and my water, I did not want anything else. Hang in there.......ignore the ignorant

I did the same thing and to this day, almost 6 mos out, only one sister knows and I didn't tell her until 3 mos out. I agree with you.......it is not their business!!

No matter how much food we eat, it will NOT help people starving in other countries LOL. Good for you
