Eight weeks out tomorrow. And lately I'm always hungry. Today is my birthday. And I spent it at home because almost everything I ate today was making me sick. Funny enough the tortilla chips didn't bother me at all. But now I'm hungry again.

I, too , lately have been getting sick after ingesting meat. 8 weeks out. At a stall

I started yoga this past Wednesday and joined a gym again. My diet is not the recommended diet, but my body doesn't care about my food choice as long as it isn't dry, so of course I stalled. A bite of donut here a couple of french fries there. I need to do better. I still barely get 500-800 calories in a day. Going to go back to exercising 5+ days a week and start keeping better track of what I put in mouth. I waver around 254-256Lbs for the last 2 weeks. I have to be a good example because my aunt is having RNY Monday. I tried to talk her out of it but she's determined. So I'm going to try to do it the right way with her.

My first full night out. I had missed my high school reunion this year. So a few of us decided to get together tonight. We went to a middle eastern restaurant called Alhambra. I stayed out until 1 something. Just had a few hiccups(issues). Started with an asthma attack to which the valet was so cooperative and had his guy run to my car and get my inhaler. I order the Tunisian Salmon and brought home more than three fourths of it. Had a taste of creme brûlée. A sip or two of a chocolate martini, some Water and pineapple juice. Pouch was okay until the creme brûlée. Had a mad dash to the bathroom but nothing came of it. Did a little dancing. All and all I'd call it a pretty successful night out. I tried to go out last weekend and got sick after an hour and had to leave. What changed is that 4 days ago I stopped having severe chest pain when I drink water. Also, I had my b12 shot. I don't know if the latter affected the former. But I'm glad of the change.

that sounds about right.

My aunt is having hers dec. 17 also. I had mine oct. 13

Dr. Pepper flavored jelly beans. Lol

this is actually a RNY thread. Lol we had a another thread for pre op then we all moved over here for post op. But sleevers are welcome. Lol

Food can still be the center, but it'll start not bothering you. I think I started focusing on food more since prepping for the surgery. I start watching more food network shows. Learning recipes. Buying organic , free range , and high end foods. More open to trying things because I know I can't eat much. It's almost like the show "the taste" where all the flavor has to fit on a single spoon. Some things that I used to love, taste awful to me. I think because before I would just wolf it down. I seem to taste things more clearly and it has fine tuned my pallet to where junk food has no place. The real question is: Does purée have to be bland? LOL

Today I made two cakes because I wanted my family to enjoy them. I love working on new recipes lately even if I don't eat them. My plate had a couple teaspoons of beef roast, a piece of turkey about the size of the old Kennedy half dollar, a tablespoon and a half of macaroni and cheese and a tablespoon of greens. Then later I had a couple of tablespoons of potato salad. Thankfully no complaints from my belly. So I say today was a success.

i do find that now I buy more high end, organic and free range foods. I will try new foods because I know I can't eat much of it anyway. lol

same with me. I have an extreme dislike for guy fieri yet I've watched his grocery games and dinner drive in and dives. But I absolutely love Alton brown and since my RNY I have watched every episode of cutthroat kitchen.

I've made a 7 up cake and a German chocolate cake from scratch and I haven't eaten either of them. But I enjoyed baking them.

@@Bronxmerci I sincerely want you to get better. I'm praying. For you and your son. In your race you're seeing more hurdles than most of us. I'm sending you strength of mind, body, and spirit.

I find that since I had my gastric bypass surgery I have been watching any more food network than I have ever done. And I have been cooking every day.

im praying for you Bronxy

I'm with you. 5 weeks out and I have a few good days and a few bad days. I mostly feel like I need to sprawl out after I eat. There's the bad taste in my mouth so I've invested in mint gum. And I've never been an avid gum chewer. At first I was foaming and spitting up with everything I ate and drank.

i wish I could do something with my hair. I can't wait to get back to work.

the regular burping just mean you're swallowing air.

i an can drink Ice cold water today. The feeling in your chest I described it as a pressure like you have to burp but no burp comes out. I saw the doc today and he said its normal and it should resolve.

yes what is this dry skin about? My feet look like I have been kicking flour for like days. I have to actually oil up after the shower or I start changing colors.

The problem that I face is that drinking liquids still causes this pressure in my chest. So the only thing that works is my iced juices where I take 8 ounces of ice and blend it with 4 ounces of juice and have it with a spoon. And I found out the only way I can drink water is if I drink while I eat. And you know they tell us not to drink and eat together but the only time I can get down plain fluid is if I am eating at the same time. This is what I discovered.

i know. I want to take a bath instead of a shower and I can't until it closes. I used some dermabond and will see how that works.

the doctor called back and said find steristrips and try to put it together and cover it.
