Doesn't have to be sugary....my first (and worst) dump was a couple weeks post-op on 4 oz of cream of wheat with Splenda (an approved food at the time), I've also dumped on protein bars with 18 g of carbs....I'm one of the sensitive kids with the tiny amounts you're eating unless you're eating pure carbs you should be fine.

Agreed, go make your own funny sarcastic picking on the world thread where you amuse yourself, but I actually DO use this thread for dinner ideas....or at least I used to....

My Kroger doesn't have buffalo!!!

FYI my ass hurts....I'm not gonna be a good runner!!!!

Let me add...7 pounds in 2 weeks while living off of 300-500 calories....sorta pissed me off!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

And sadly, the belly has made a dramatic shift south this week....while I realize I means there's less fat in there...well...it's UGLY!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

S funny,now that I can have meat, I'm somewhat apathetic towards it....the mind games we play.....although that first home grilled steak was Devine!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

I lost about 7 pounds total those first 2 weeks post-op, I'd lost 14 the 2 weeks pre-op....the lower loss was frustrating at first while people around me were losing 12 a week....but I've come to learn that's just how I work....3 a week is about my average, since its an easy 3 and I'm not starving, I'll take it and consider it a success . I tried to a skip the scales and stick to once or twice a week weigh ins so I didn't go Insane with the readings!!! Make yourself proud!!!

I did the first night of Zombie 5K tonight....at the soccer fields while my son was practicing.....I RAN IN PUBLIC!!!!!!! (I just didn't make eye contact) I do kinda wish people knew when I started running it was because there were zoms growling in my ear HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

Nope but I do know that third world countries have higher infant mortality and also higher death rates for pregnant women. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

I've had gallbladder removal, lap band, urgent lap bed removal with a ton of scar tissue and inflammation and then my RNY....no issues at all doing the RNY lap....

Mine was laparoscopic..no problems! Good luck!!!!

Walked my neighborhood...and realized the walk that 2 months ago took me 35 minutes and exhausted me, now takes 22 minutes and I'm still raring to go! Apparently time to add another loop on our path!

Chrissy you're doing GREAT!!!! I walked the hood tonight with my boy....realized the walk that 2 months ago took 35 minutes and left me exhausted now takes 22 minutes and I was still ready to roll...that one snuck up on me!!!!! Time to add a extra loop! By George, I may be the slowest loser ever, but I feel freaking fabulous!!!!!

Keep in mind a pound is 3500 calories...a lot of times when you're post op your metabolism slows down so you're not burning as many calories as usual and most people aren't as active as they were pre-op at least for a bit so you're not burning as many....12 IS a lot!!

WATERMELON!!!!! Wait, that was dessert....went out to dinner with my kiddo, order the grilled chicken sandwich without a bun and broccoli instead of fries.....ate about 2 oz of chicken and 4-5 small broccoli florets....actually enjoyed the broccoli more than the chicken....and the watermelon most HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

I was allowed to start at 2 months (last week) have had a spinach salad every day for lunch since cleared, no problems. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

I kept mine out for like 6 weeks! the puppies and kitties and 8 year old at my house all wanted to snuggle!

The heating pad was heaven....

Went on a hike and picnic with my boy so packed us both turkey sandwiches....1 slice of bread, 2 oz of turkey (yes I'm allowed bread) made it through about 1/2 of my 1/2 of a sandwich and was so totally done with it....I can eat 3-4 ounces of meat but 1/4 of a turkey sandwich. Yup, still much to learn about this new toy of mine!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

You'll be fine, I had a slipped band and tons of inflammation, was a bit of a special case. If I'd just been a regular revision it would all been fine but I had the added drama of a prolapse stomach and urgent surgery . I can never do things the way way! Try not to stress too much!!!!
