Good morning. Happy Passover to all our fine Jewish friends. Parting Of The Sea
What is going on in your neck of the woods? Not much for me. I have the usual housework to attend to after I get home from work. Other than that things are mighty slow in my world. Washing Dishes   Vacuuming Dusting

Boring stuff but it needs to be done.

We finally have an almos****erfree back yard. It is still squishy though. We just needs some dry days and it will get better.

Have a great day. Easter skateboarding

Hi everyone.  Still working on my big project roll out at work..it is beginning to see some progress. Not much to say..getting ready to start the day. 
Do have a question though...are the Recipie's of the Day posted somewhere? I'm looking for something yummy but sugar free and low cal to take to a very obese relative next week...desert wise.  Hoping to show them that you can eat good stuff without going into a coloric coma. 

Also is anyone else having serious flatulance since surgery...
I know it's a gross subject but I just keep trying to find a solution.  Right now I'm taking pro-biotics daily and it helps but I still have the issue. I am also trying to pay attention to what foods make it worse and then avoiding them.

Ok gotta run.  Thanks for your help now because I know I'll get some good advice here.  All you are so supportive and I've advised others that this is a great place to come for help.

Hi I know what you are saying about the flatulance problem, I too have it and it is BAD,  I hate going any place because of it,
I am going to get so more pro biotics but last time I took them it did not help much, Maybe I did not take them long enough,
I can't wait what others have to say about it,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Janet, the pre and probiotic supplements that I get from Shaklee says that it takes a minimum of 7 days before they start to kick in. AND believe it or not Shaklee's instructions tell you right out that you will have a little more gas for a short while then the supplement will start working in the positive for you. You then need to take them for the rest of your life to regulate the digestive track.

Thank you Christine, I just got back from Walgreen's and the Phys. told me about Florajen, it has 20 Billion in it, so I am giving it a try, I sure hope it works,
I will let everyone know if it does,

Hi, Dawn (Berts4) does the RODs. I think you would have to just go back in the daily roll calls to get them. There is a receipe forum you can check, also, Michelle (eggface) on the main board, has a great webpage, www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com . there are others too, but I can't think of them.

Hi Brenda!
You have a good point, maybe I should put them all on my profile some day when I find the time.......
In the mean time, if you tell me what you are thinking of, I am sure I have  something that will work for you.  I will be happy to send you any recipe that I have.

Some of our favorites are:  Raspberry Pie, Lemon Ice Box Pie, SF Cheesecake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Parfaits, Butterscotch Pumpkin Mouse, Strawberry Pie, Banana Mousse, Magic Peanut Butter Cookies........

As far as the flatulence.....I had a HORRIBLE problem with it until I started taking Pro Biotics.  I now take Vita Cost's house brand of the Acidopoulis "pearls".  One per day has cut down on the problem tremendously for me.  http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-ProBioSphere-Acidophilus
This is: Proprietary ProbioSphere™ 2-2 complex (lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium longum) in the patented BIO-tract® delivery system. 2 BILLION CFU.  There are lots of probiotics out there to try.  If one does not work, try another, or look at the dosage.

Hope this helps!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

Yes, regarding the flatulance it is a common thing for PO RNY patients. Some have it worse than others. I have found that probiotics help a lot in the gas department and also with my bowel disease of microscopic colitis. You may never get rid of the gas completely but the supplement will help. The gas issue is due to the fact that our insides have been rearranged. Also try to stay away from carbs as much as you can. I found that they give me horrible gas.

You might also want to go on the recipe forum here on OH to see if you can find a recipe that will fit into the royal scheme of things that you want to make. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/recipe/ you might have to go back a few pages to find something or you can also post a question asking for what you are looking for.

Hello everyone

Well yesterday I ate a tad too much at lunch, it didn't seem like too much while I was eating but about 30 mins later I felt pressure.  The way it seems to be working out for me is as I'm eating I'm fine but then if I ate too much I will feel it later.  Is that weird???  Why wouldn't I feel it while I'm eating???  Anyway, I was uncomfortable for about 2 hours.  Then much later I ate a very small dinner.  Again, I ate no where near enough calories.  I am scheduled for a fill on 4-24 and I just don't think I will need one.  Is that unusual? 

Well at work I was trained yesterday on some of my new duties.  So hopefully I will get that promotion soon. 

I hope everyone has a nice day.
