Help!!! I just ate a whole chick fl a sandwich!!!:(. I fill like crap but I am so ashamed!!! I sure hope that don't stretch my pouch out. But I can honestly say that is the first time I hv went over board since surgery in April.

It's ok. Tomorrow is another day. I was just posting a few days ago how freaked out I was I could hold more volume of food on my pouch. Hang in there!

Hello everyone! I just found this app for my phone.super excited! I am now 9 days post RNY. My RNY was 8-14-13. I am feeling great except for a new pain I have been experiencing.

Welcome to the site. It is an awesome help! Check around and find the August thread if you want. You can then talk with others who had their surgeries around the same time as you. It is a big help when you are with others who are going through the same things! Congrats on the surgery. The pain goes away and you get better and better each day! Good luck to you.

Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I checked in. I'm in onederland. As of Tuesday (8/21/13), I weighed in at 199.7.lbs. My surgery date was April 8, 2013. I weighed 265 on the day of surgery.

Now for the bad news. I'm having a hard time getting in 60-80 grams of Protein, and my hair is coming out like crazy. I'm wearing a full cap wig for now. I will continue to work on increasing my protein.

Good Luck to everyone!

Ok...so I can eat steak..I've had maybe 2 times previously and was fine. I cannot eat steak if its anything over medium though. Too dry. May be awhile before I can try to again cause it wasn't a pleasant experience. I did manage to stomach down some Peanut Butter for like the 1st time since I had it after surg. Maybe that aversion is going away. Bad news is chicken may forever be gone. I started gagging while watching travel channel with the husb and they were cooking chicken. My husb says he misses my southern fried chicken.

Are you eating meat yet? You get a lot of protein from thst instead of liquids &burn off more fat slso. I'm 1month post op & dr said quit drinking protein & get it from meats now.

Is anyone besides me losing their hair like crazy still? I can not believe that is is coming out by the handful every single day. I have easily lost 1/2 of my hair. It is so thin. I am very worried. I get my Protein in, I take my Vitamins, I eat good (99.9% of the time). When is this going to slow down?

I'm nervous because I don't have problems with anything. I eat chicken, beef and pork. Sweets don't bother me. It's odd.

      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.
