Topic: RE: Gained weight
From what I read and have been seeing on the board is that you lose a lot of water in the beginning. Your body stablizes(stall) you may gain a couple of pounds(water weight) before you start to lose again. I'm no scientist but the explanation has been explained better in some recent post on the RNY forum.
Also I know that when I have too much salt, I blow up like a balloon. How long do you have to be on liquids for? Also I bloat really bad when its that time of the month.

Topic: Gained weight
OMG..I am still on liquids for the most part since surgery and I gained 2.5lbs in a week and I have no idea why. Any ideas?
Topic: RE: Foods different for everyone?
I don't have many restriction either, but that can be a bad thing for me. I am trying not to go back to the evil ways of the force that led me to gain so much weight. I have tried snack food and last night have tried some fried foods w/o problems. so this could be a bad thing, should I let.
I have tendency to eat fast and groan later. Bad habits I learned from my work environment. Working on breaking those first before I go back to eating junk.

Topic: RE: Foods different for everyone?
I have a terrible time eating almost anything. The only things do well with are soups. I had some tuna tonight and didn't get sick. I am mostly ok with fish, but chicken makes me throw up, and beef (ground) doesn't sit well. Not sure I mind, as I am losing weight well without being hungry. I know that by 6 months I will be eating almost anything I want. But I'm not like you. I can't eat anything, and I never try new foods when I am out or have to go somewhere in case I do get sick.

Topic: RE: Utterly Exhausted??
I hate to post something that's "opposite" from everyone on here, but I really haven't experienced this exhaustion. In fact, I woke up at 6:30 this morning and am still going strong.
I take my vitamins RELIGIOUSLY and always get 70+ grams of protein - I force myself to have protein drink(s) if I'm low for the day. I've been taking Actigal and B-12 sublinguals, plus all the other suppliments since the day after surgery. I do think that the vitamins and protein are vital to keeping up energy/strength, and I know they are important to brain function as well.
Good luck to you all. I hope it gets better. Try to up the protein each day and never miss your vitamins would be my suggestions.

Thank goodness we have this website to know that we are all "not alone" in many of these situations.
Thank you all for your responses. I feel better since I stopped taking the Actigall. I am going to try taking it once a day instead of three times a day and see if that changes anything.
I know I am low on protein intake but I am also still hardly feeling hungry at all. I am able to tolerate chicken, tuna, and meatballs really well so I am trying to get the protein in from those food groups.
Every day I seem to get more food in but it is just amazing how much things have changed. Some days I feel so much better and then other days are not so much fun. Here's hoping month number three will knock out most of the bad days.
Topic: RE: Anybody tried Sushi??
Suchi was my last meal before my 2 day liquid diet. I haven't had it since surgery. I haven't had any rice. Everyone keeps telling me that it will make me really full. But I am learnign that a lot fo things that make others sick, doesn't with me.
I think I lost my taste/craving for sushi, so I haven't had it. But its nice to know that others have tried it and it went well for them.

Topic: RE: Foods different for everyone?
If it's any consolation, I got the exact same direction from my nutritionist. Now she is pregnant and left the job and the surgical practice hasn't replaced her. I am not going to go and find an out of plan nutritionist, etc. so her guidelines are what I'm doing too.
I've also lost "only" 33 lbs, so you are doing way better than I am. Good for you!

Topic: RE: Foods different for everyone?
I had rny, not the band but I haven't had issues with anything either. I was so worried about that pre-op but I have to say *knocking wood* that this whole process has been an absolute joy. I have tolerated everything I've tried, I'm never hungry and I eat "normal" foods. I couldn't be happier :-)
