Topic: RE: How much can you eat?
I had my surgery on 8/21 and am, as you are, about 5 1/2 months out. I have lost 110 pounds and can eat basically some of everything. Id o nto do well as you say with breads, rice or pasta, I can do burger, steak, ham, pork as long as I cut it small and chew very well. My favorite thing to eat, because it tastes so damn good and goes down well is Lobster, I have been getting a lobster roll and it lasts me about 3 meals. I do find that veggies I can eat a bunch of, watermellon and mellons are good. Cheese and soups. I also love Wendy's chili. I think you have to remember to chew very well and eat slow. If you take small bites and rest a bit and then go back to it you will get your protein in. Also, I dont worry about how much I am eating, when I feel full, I stop and go back in a little while.
As for my hair, yes it is thinning and I am hoping that it wont get worse. I have heard that folic acif helps along with Biotin. I bought the Biotin and I am not sure it that was it but I got terrible cramps in my intestine/stomach so I stopped taking them and it never happened again. I will try taking some extra folica acid and let ya know how that goes.

Topic: Hi August Buddies
I have another question for you folks that are more senior than I am. Is it true that 3-6 months out is generally a time of rapid weight loss? Have you found that to be your experience? My weight has been stuck for two weeks so I want to have hope for "rapid weight loss".

Topic: RE: How much can you eat?
Hello,
I had my RNY on 8-11 and I lost 64 pounds in the first 3 months and I haven't lost another pound since!!! I can eat about 1/2 ti 3/4 of a lean cusine. I have noticed if I drink with my lean cusine I can fini**** I have a very hard time not drinking with my meals!!! My hair is coming out in full force now and everyone says to get my protein in. I found protein bullets 45 grams of protein in 3oz. I'm not gonna lie I had to get used to them before I liked them. They are very sweet. I have not had any problems with meat or bread. I kinnda wish I did. How much have you lost? Maybe you can do the protein shakes to get in the protein? I know I haven't been getting in mine so my goal is to get more in and hopefully I'll start to drop more pounds.
Topic: did you get your workout in today?

Topic: RE: Sinus Meds? You guys take them?
I take the Claritin Redi Tabs that dissolve in your mouth. I was taking the regular ones but since time release won't work for us now I use these. I have also had success with triaminic strips that dissolve in your mouth. I love all the strip things they have come out with I use Gas X too. Walmart has mucinex type meds that only last 4hours we can crush those up and take them but the 12 or 24 hour won't work for us. If you use a decongestant drink lots of water or you will get a killer headache. Hope this helps

Hi Wanda,
I work out 4 - 5 days a week, twice weekly with a trainer. I have done weight training since two weeks out...I have come a long way although I haven't loss a huge amount of weight...I feel wonderful.
When I get out of bed now...it is painfree.
The honeymoon period is a scary thought for me too....but I feel the exercise will save me.
Hugs,
Traci
Topic: RE: Hi from Clearwater Minnesota!
Hi Sue! It is cold in NH too. I don't like the cold. I am going to Florida in 6 days for one week! I can't wait. I had RNY on 8/22/06. I lost 25 lbs before surgery and 75 since. I was much heavier than you to start out though. I began at 308, was 283 day of surgery and now I weigh 208. I cannot wait to be under 200 and my goal is 150. I started out in size 28 and now am a loose 20. I have 1 pair of 18! It must feel awesome to be a size 10! Congratulations. Stay warm.
Topic: How much can you eat?
Hi, I had surgery on 8/22/06, so i am like 5 1/2 mths out. I was just curious as to how much someone 5 1/2 mths out can eat. I know everyone is slightly different. I cannot eat a whole lean cusine or smart one. I am having trouble getting all of my protien in but am working diligently towards that goal. I don't have real good luck with meats or bread. I can eat tuna and haddock and chicken if I mu**** up with my fork to the consistencey of ground. I also have no trouble with Wendy's chili which is now my favorite thing. Give me some ideas of what you are eating. Thanks!
