Usually 30-50 here— but not intentionally tracking carbs but it’s in my journal app. Happens to be aligned with the protein meals Im eating HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6”

Pain in the middle of my chest while eating..
BostonWLKC replied to DMarie1983's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had that early on when I first started eating solid foods. It gets better. You’re eating too big of bites and too fast HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6” -
I haven’t vomited or really had any issues at all since mine 4 months ago. Really super easy experience for me. Perhaps it reads so negative as there tends to be people who post when they have questions or problems— no one wants to hear how great we are all doing- that’d be boring [emoji23][emoji12] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6”

The way I look at it… It’s kind of like having a kid! After so long you start no longer counting the smaller increments of time bc it messes you up and just embrace the larger ones!

First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???
BostonWLKC replied to nycgirl18's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It happens to most- hang in there and stay on program. My guess is that you’ll drop soon and more than a lb or two HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6” -
1 week post op RNY- questions
BostonWLKC replied to Origin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That how I felt too! Truly awesome. When you get to foods you’ll feel it! Even with food- for me- I was able to eat more faster than most but never more than 3/4 cup now. We are all different in our experiences. Just do you! It’ll happen and you’ll be amazing!

Don’t sweat it, just don’t make it a habit. It’s a slippery slope and all. As an aside- call your Dr about the vomiting - that doesn’t sound right and there could be something wrong Feel better!

I am 5’6 and I think my goal is 150 - which is about the top of my weight range for BMI . Greatest NSV so far is crossing legs comfortably and not having to scooooch up my pants waist to sit down - to cover stomach comfortably in pants [emoji849] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 175 5’6”

Bariatric surgery and restaurants

I just went out for lunch— had a great chicken taco (minus the taco)! Just ate the inside of two of them— estimate 2-3 oz of chicken and a bit of lettuce with cilantro crema . Of course skipped the appetizer, drink and dessert [emoji51] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 175 5’6” -
Food isn’t appealing and I’m not hungry

Ellen— My guess is that you’ll start to lose more when you add in food slowly. Just a guess HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 175 5’6” -
