Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile. I got into a local support group here and this forum, unfortuneatly, fell by the way side. Now that I am 15months post op, I feel qualified to impart advice or what have you. If you are able to, I whole heartily recommend attending a support group. They...

are smoothies considered a drink or food?

Thanks for the support peeps. I've decided to "treat" myself to one day a week of having pop-corn. I miss it. I've given up all (wheat)flour, sugar, corn (it's genetically modified - except popcorn, which is non-GMO), soy (it's a goitrogenic food - and I am hypothyroid). I am eating healthier...

Good job Frank! Even your shadow looks triumphant.

Ok folks I need your input and help. I am now addicted to popcorn. I can eat LOTS of it. I cook it in coconut oil in a pan on the stove so it's not the store bought crap with tons of preservative laiden stuff in it. I just wanna know if it's ok for us gastric bypassers to be able to eat so much...

...lovemaking, well, I'll leave that one alone. I'll just say,... it's better!!!

...seeing your shadow makes you smile.

...you no longer don't mind stepping on a scale in front of others.

...you can see the veins under your skin.

..people you haven't seen in a while ask if you've been sick, or don't even recognize you.

...your legs finally get a tan too.

Sounds good Pat, can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting.:)

I read the book "Wheat Belly" and stopped eating anything with wheat in it. You'd be amazed about all the stuff out there that contains wheat! If I get a craving for crackers I eat a few "Nut-Thins". They're awesome. Hope this helps.

Yup, happened to me too. Scary, and maddening for sure. Huge black bruising all the way to the pubic bone. But they fade (slowly) and so too do the doubts.

Great. I've never eaten so healthy in my life and apparently I am doing it all wrong. I got blood test results back today and they said my potassium level is high. They said to cut my Lisinopril prescription in 1/2 and drink lots of water, then retest in a week. I told them I haven't taken my...

I too use Unjury (unflavored). I hated all protein shakes in the beginning, even Unjury. Just keep trying, it will get better/easier. I use to drink coffee a lot, but can not tolerate the taste of it now, that, and it doesn't sit well on my tummy. I like to add the protein powder to no sugar...

Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Very inspirational! You two look great.

Great job. Keep up the good work.

You are not going to get any sugar coating here, Alan. You've lost 70lbs. You KNOW how do it. Keep up the good work and stick to the plan and you'll do great!

When...The "thinner" girls at work ask you for your clothes that you can no longer wear!:o
