Chicken was all I could tolerate at first but I make my chicken extra moist and falling off the bone tender. I only eat drumsticks because that’s all I’ve ever eaten from a chicken. -

Anyone ever tried grits after having RNY.

Thank you I’m 3 months out. I’ll wait on them. I use to love breakfast food now nothing tastes good but multigrain Cheerios.

When was your surgery? I have this same issue with sugar free drinks and crystal light. I tried Chick-fila unsweetened tea and diet lemonade 3 days ago it went well. They use Splenda

Omg I was craving spicy food after 8 weeks of surgery lol
-
I’ve been a diabetic for 4 years before surgery and I could have any artificial sweetener, but since surgery any artificial sweetener causes me distress. Is this something with RNY or I got the short end of the stick?, lol

I I’m happy I found water I like but I’m so sick of just water and unsweet tea 😢

What one thing do you wish you'd known before having surgery?
Chantrella replied to FutureSylph's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wouldn’t be able to drink or gulp water fast. I would no longer be able to tolerate artificial sweeteners. -
Anthem denied claim after surgery completed
Chantrella replied to DeeTee's topic in Insurance & Financing
Just want to say that my hospital stay was denied after surgery even though it was approved before the hospital sent me a bill for 54,000 yes you read that right! I called anthem in shock and the guy resubmitted took 30 days but they paid it. -
My surgery was 3/3/21 I was 268 and I told myself aim big so my first weight loss goal was 205. I had a stall in April of three weeks the scale wouldn’t budge to pass 215! Then it began to move only took a week and a half to get to 206.8 and now guess what?! It won’t budge! It refuses to give me my first goal, lol

What was your tipping point?
Chantrella replied to 3tallwomen's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Started considering when my blood sugar meter read over 500( I was always diet controlled before that) got my sugar under control. One morning stepped on the scale 268! Then I could only wear tights everywhere. Yup that was it. -
Pizza at 7 or 8 weeks?
Chantrella replied to lostmykeysinspace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Only eat the toppings(veggies and protein) and cheese. -
Postoperative surgery questions!
Chantrella replied to Michele 2021's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
2 bottles? You did better than me unfortunately I didn’t start drinking until week 6 when the swelling went down and the thrush went away. Looks like you’re getting there. -
Does time of day impact fullness?
Chantrella replied to meggs353's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am the same that’s why I do intermittent fasting. I eat from 12pm-8pm. -
How many calories/carbs do you take in? What foods do you eat?( Walk in increments example morning 10mins, Afternoon 10mins, evening 10mins) Watching tv in a chair get ankle weights and do leg lifts. Many things you can do just keep moving it helps burn calories, but remember what we put in our bodies determines a lot.

I got through it by cooking and watching my family eat stuff I couldn’t eat 😂😂

Waiting period question
Chantrella replied to alilovesib's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Different insurances have different rules mine required working with a bariatric doctor for weight loss. Mini me in TN required her to work with her primary care doctor( she’s on YouTube). -
How long do stalls usually last!
Chantrella replied to Chantrella's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes they are the worst!! -
Got mine today(Pfizer) and it has me soooo tired! I’m almost 3 months out.

You are doing great! I had RNY on 3/3 and I couldn’t drink water period without pain or a nasty taste ( thrush) until the swelling went down week 6
