Hi all. Just checking in. Surgery 5/28, down 55 pounds. I am in a stall right now for a week. scale hasn't oven even an ounce. I little discouraging. It is weird how one day you can eat semi normally, and then the next day basically nothing. Yesterday I had a small piece of cheese, maybe an ounce, and 3 tiny bites of a hamburger and that is all I could do...all day! I know the stall is because I am not eating enough, but I eat as much as I can...which is still a few bites per meal. Is anyone else having a hard time eating enough. Any tricks to get more calories/protein in? Besides shakes or Protein Bars?

Don't be discouraged. I went through the same thing. When it's really hot outside I usually don't like to eat. I would try drinking maybe 2 Protein Shakes a day to replace a meal. This might get you out of the stall. Your pouch might handle liquid better right now than actual food. Give it a shot & see what happens. Try going for a small walk. You body is trying to protest because it wants it's old life back. The scale will start to move again

Thanks. I am walking 2 miles every day, and taking all my Vitamins. I will try the shakes again.

I cleaned out all of my big clothes today. Sister, mom and nieces walked away with 8 garbage bags full of clothes and shoes! Never will wear those sizes again!

[ArmyOfMe 82]

Bought my first pair of skinny jeans today. Size 16 with enough room to go. Oh happy day ... Oh happy day. Lalalala

I was at the mall yesterday with my kids and they were all hungry. Had to stop at the food court to grab a quick bite. I found a Chinese place and ordered some Bourbon chicken ( one of the only things not breaded). Ate a few bites and got a to go box. Within 15 minutes felt sick and started throwing up white foamy stuff. I have done this a few times before with food and drinks that don't agree with me. What is the cause of that?

Maybe it could be how the chicken was cooked....grease that was high in fat. But man I would love some of Chinese food...the next time you get Chinese food you can ask them to fix it for you a certain way and most places will. Like if you want to add or take away something.

For me personally the only time I've gotten foamie with RNY is when I took a bite that wasn't chewed well enough and it was sort of 'stuck'.

Thanks. I guess I was in kind of a hurry and dealing with 3 small children....I may have just eaten too fast and made a bad decision on food! Hopefully it doesn't happen again soon. That wasn't any fun..

My uncle calls it the foamies and it is because the food didn't agree with you. They probably cooked it in grease.
