I am now three months out of surgery and have lost 50 pounds. Taking me a little tile to figure out what foods I can eat without getting sick. I have another 30 at lease to lose and would like to lost maybe 40 more. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Linda, I was like that too at first. Didn't know what it was like to feel full. One I started eating regular foods I could barely eat a lot at all. Just do as your dietician tells you and you will be fine. Be patient. Mindy

Patti, I am doing pretty good, I think. The only problem is that my blood sugar is going low too much and I don't know how to deal with this. Do you have any suggestions? Mindy

Dear hamboucher. My husband was very hesitant about my having the surgery. I just basically told him to get over it. I was doing it and he could deal with it. He is now very glad I went ahead with it and very supportive. Don't let other people get to you. Go for what you want. There is a time...

Thanks patti. Your info really helps me. I like you am very simple when it comes to meal planning. I like all foods but know that my diet has to change from what it was. I go back to the nutritionist on jan 30th and hope they will allow some additional foods. The pureed foods are not very...

Thanks patti and Tom for your posts. Since I am just four weeks out, I am having some trouble telling when I am full. What do you both suggest to eat when you are eating every two hours. I've had veg soup, chilli, spaghetti sauce and chicken with tomatoes and garlic. I am trying my best to...

I had the surgery RNY on dec 27th. I have some friends who look at me the same way as yours did, but I don't care. I am doing this for my health benefit and if they can't be proud of me for that then they aren't friends anyway. Hang in there. At my doctors office we have a psychiatrist that...

My name is Mindy and I had roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery on December 27, 2011. It will be four weeks tomorrow for me. My journey started in June 2011. My weight was 238 pounds and I have had a lot of back surgeries and knee replacements. I chose to have this surgery because I need to be able...

Jane, I had my surgery on December 27,2011. I had the same feelings as you. Should I do it or should I wait. Well I went ahead and am so glad I did. The weight is slowly coming off and I am just now on pureed food but up to this point it hasn't been that bad. I am so excited to get the...
