Hey Kerri' date='

How many calories do you eat a day? What foods do you say away from if any?[/quote']

I drink Protein for Breakfast, lean cuisine for lunch, and whatever I cook for my family for dinner just east our sized portions. I stay away from a lot of sugar & greasy foods and drink only Water with occasional coke (not very often & not very much) I eat fresh fruit and crackers for Snacks usually. cheese and lunch meat make good snacks too.

I exercise everyday, mostly toning and elliptical. I'm down to 158 right now from 252. Have only lost about 2 or 3 lbs in the last 6 weeks, but I'm losing inches.

Howdy, my October buddies! So, I was sitting here, thinking to myself--- wow, life has certainly changed (for the better) since that fateful day in October. Not only have I regained my confidence (which has had numerous effects on my family and career success) but I need a whole new wardrobe (which I am trying to wait until 1 year to go out and get).

And I wondered-- how have your lives changed (or not) as a result of the big decision you made about 8 months ago? Can't wait to hear from you.

I just felt pain (which wasn't too bad) nausea. And gassy burpy to much. But I also had a second stricture at the same time. They fixed stricture on a Wednesday still felt pain and so.did ultrasound on that Thursday and that Friday took it out went home Saturday which I shouldn't have. Was worst pain ever. Over and beyond my RNY!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
