Male RNY Information?

Hi Everyone, Since male and females react so differently to WLS, I would love to hear some more experiences, from other males. I am looking for their experiences, with...protein intake, diet choices, and exercise, and any other specific experiences to us WLS males. Alberto

There seems to be a few men in the chat room all the time.............. Check that out!

Hello Alberto. I has surgery on Jan 29 of this year, and as of Friday, June 18, I had lost 150, offically with the doctor. At home, I have lost 156 pounds. I started out at 502 pounds. I try to make sure to get as much protein in every day as I can. I have FF yogurt for breakfast. Either tuna, imatiation krab, chicken, turkey or pork salad, made with Miracle Whip, some soup, cottage cheese, and 6-10 crackers for lunch, and have much smaller portions of what has been cooked for dinner at home. I try to work out at the gym 3 times a week. If you have questions or want to keep each other on track you can contact me at [email protected]. Congrats on being a loser!!!!!!!! Dan

I seem to be the least loser of all the males who had Jan. surgery I wonder what am I doing wrong... I started out the night before surgery at 275lbs I am now 185lbs. total lost is 90lbs, all other Jan. males have lost over 100lbs so far Albert

after all this time i just found the message boards but I will give you my experiences, I had surgery jan 12 2004 as of right now ive lost a total of 135lbs. I have had no complications and everything is great. example for foods breakfast i usually have a piece of lowfat cheese on wheat toast or sometimes cheerio cereal in skim milk then mid morning i do a protein shake. Lunch i do things like tuna, soup, weigh****cher meals, a baked potatoe just swapping up different things. dinner i try to have chicken or turkey with some veggies. Exercise i ride a bicycle 3 nights a week around 5 or 6 miles then the other nights i lift weights so far everything is great so im sticking to it matt
