My surgery was 7/8/ 2014 I go back to work 8/19/ 2014

Angel, it takes me two times. Once in the morning I walked just around my block at a pretty slow pace because it took me 30 minutes to go .89 of a mile. Then my good friend who is like my brother went with me and we went to a little lake on the north side of Denver and walked around it. That's a little over a mile so altogether it was 2.3 miles. I could not of done it in one time. And I do walking at fairly slow rate. You know it's interesting my lower back hurts less now than before the surgery when I try to walk I don't know I don't think the 20 pounds made all that much difference. Just do what you can at your own pace. Don't rush. You'll get there I promise

Dawnakers, good luck monday I'll be praying and thinking of you, Maimie

I don't think you want that much fat and grits to add butter but if you get the "I can't believe it's not butter" spray it makes it taste pretty good

Good afternoon. How's everyone today? I hope you're feeling well. Those of us who had surgery on July 8 are now 10 days postop imagine that. I think I'm adjusting. I am having trouble with dairy products so I'm not eating them now I really really was craving cottage cheese but Oboy did not agree with me. My nutritionist says wait a week or two. I am still relying on the protein shakes for the majority of my protein intake. I got a wonderfully ripe peach at the farmers market today and I put about a quarter of it in my shake Yum E. And I walked 2.23 miles today. Hope you guys are all well . Give me an update thanks

Angel in order to get the ticker with all the information you have to go in the regular website not in the app and then you go to my settings, and follow the directions to set up the ticker that shows the any information you want to show. good luck thanks for all your companionship and help.

Angel! I'm sending my husband to the store for grits right now Yum Yum do you use Instant or regular. I'm in Northerner and I don't know much about them but I know that I love them but I've never made them except for Instant.

Auntie Rose it is a little harder than we think but keep going you doing great if your sipping and walking keep up the good work!

Angel can I really have a grits!?

I everybody how are you doing today? I have a question. I went to my doctor yesterday and got advanced to the puréed diet from the full liquid diet. I had 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese around noon and then again I had 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese with at dinner at around 6 PM. Everything seemed fine I wasn't too full and I felt comfortable until about 1 AM. I was up all night on the toilet has anyone else had this experience? I haven't eaten anything yet today except my protein shake and water. I'm a little leery any advice?

I had RNY 7-8-14. Welcome and good luck!

My first grandchild was born August 6, 2013, the most beautiful baby boy. I was visiting one time when he was about four months old. My daughter and her husband were going to be working that evening. And I figured I would be babysitting for him. But my daughter looked me in the eye and said mom we don't think you can handle him you can't get off the couch quickly, you can't hold him to stand up and walk around for very long, we just feel like we need to have a babysitter instead of you. I was devastated but I also understood and realized that she was correct! It was on that day that I decided I needed to do something and probably had to be RNY. So when I joined this decided what my nickname would be Mamie because that's what my grandson calls me and I was 60 when he was born. He saved my life thank you Daniel!

Angel and everyone glad we all coming along! I can't wait to decide what I'm going to have for dinner! I had the cottage cheese for lunch it was great. I might try an egg we will see.have a great rest of your day everyone. :-)

Years ago before I got really heavy I did yoga. I loved it. Now that I'm starting to lose weight I hope that I'll be able to do it again. With as large as I've been it hasn't been easy for me so Ii quit I was just too big to get on the floor but I'm looking forward to it

I know a couple people said to eat them with chips? I didn't think I'd be able to eat chips that true? Otherwise do you dip cucumbers in it or just eat the avo on piece of turkey with lettuce. just curious just started on puréed today so I'm looking at expanding my horizons over the next few weeks.

I just started today and puréed foods. However I was thinking that once I get to regular food I thought some turkey spread with avocado and eaten like that would be really good

Had my surgery on 7/8, 8 days out. I went to the doctor today got my drain removed yeah! I am down 20 pounds! Feeling good not taking any pain meds. I've been walking on my patio in the back but since the drain is out I'm going to try to walk around my neighborhood. Got transition from full liquids to puréed diet today had 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese tasted good and set well. I feel like I'm on the right path. On Sunday I questioned myself whether I I had made the right decision and cried the whole day. But now I'm feeling good and ready to continue on my weight-loss journey. Thanks to all of you guys for the support. I love this app!

Leena, so sorry things are going so terribly for you. Hope you start to heal soon.

I am 7 days out. My husband has been great he asks me if I mind to have him eating near me anytime he eats. I don't mind too much but he had steak the other night and I went up and took a shower. We don't have kids at home so it's easier.

I am 7 days post op and I and still sipping water, Popsicles and protein shakes. Tomorrow I get my drain out and maybe advance to puréed .

I'm having my gastric to bypass tomorrow. I was just reading my nutritionist notebooks and thinking about the protein shakes when I get home. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good one that is palatable and lots of protein? I have never been big on meal supplement shakes like carnation instant breakfast or slim fast hard, for me to drink. Would like some information thanks!

My prayers are with you. You mother will be with you in the OR.

Good luck everyone. Prayers and good thoughts your way! Mamie60

I like the premier protein shakes pretty but the PB2 and banana sounds great. Is that considered full liquid?
