I'm 3 months post-op and I'm pretty sure I'm eating WAY more than I am supposed to be, but how do I control it. I've heard you can stretch your pouch out.. I'm scared that is what I have done already. I never understood the whole "dietary guidelines" what to eat and what not to eat. I FEEL My doctors office pretty much left me out on my own, they gave me a food list for 7 wks, since then I've been on my own, and failing!!! I don't get sick like some, I eat candy, cookies, basically whatever I want! I drink 5 bottles of water a day. Just bummed, pretty much feel like I ruined it for myself and its only been 3 months.

I use myfitnesspal also, but I am unsure of the amount of calories we are "supposed" to ingest. So I haven't used it lately. I have been using this app on my kindle that list meals under 500 calories and I measure out half the portion size it lists. but now I have been stuck at the same weight for a month. I don't know where to go from here. How do I go about finding a support group in my area? The one my Doctor provides is once a month and it's a night I can't make it.

PHEW!!!! It's not just me!! Must be normal then right?

Yes! I think any resources at this point will help, I don't want it to be "all for nothing" my surgeon works out of 2 offices one near me and one about an hour away. So, the nutritionist are barely in my local office, they have an hour long group meeting once a month that I cab never make it to, because of the kids sports schedule, I'm glad I found this app. On my kindle Thank you!!

I just started using myfitnesspal again. I don't know how many calories I am supposed to take in, and I feel hungry all the time, so I snack ugh! By as much as I eat It seems like I never even had the surgery have you ever heard of ppl starting their post- op diet over? I just have no self control. My husband is 6ft 2 and 145lbs so he has no clue about how I feel. Just feel alone. Regret even having RNY sometimes.

Also, I have never thrown up or felt like throwing up from eating too much.
