Need Help To Maintain
Hey Guys;
I'm just a little over eight months post-op but have made my goal and beyond by a few pounds. I don't want to lose anymore at all.
I was wondering what some of you eat to maintain your weight. I'm around six foot and 165ish pounds. I don't know how much I malasborb or for how long I'll be doing that. I guess I'll need to eat a couple more "meals" a day and/or add protein drinks till I find a balance but sure could use some advise. How many calories do you get and how do you get them. I do dump, as I get nausea if I eat more than 6g's of sugar, or heavy fats. Can we eat nuts much? I eat a tad every day but don't know how hard they are on the stomach and all.
Thanks ahead of time for your help.

I can't believe I forgot about beer. Thanks, I'll make a beer run tomorrow. I had better watch myself cuz I have not drank any post-op so have no idea what will happen. Thanks again,
David
Might I suggest you read this before making that beer run.
Thanks for sharing that post with me is a good read.
If I did/do drink it would be no more than a beer or two couple times a week. I'm not much of a big drinker. I have not had anything post surgery and may keep it that way for now, but then again a beer ever so often does not sound bad. I wonder if my taste buds have changed there?

Being only 9 weeks post RNY. I can't speak to your larger question. But I do eat almonds. But only about 12 grams (12 almonds). I throw them in my lunch sometimes. I eat them to get some "good fat" into my diet.

Small amounts of plain nuts would be good...Also roasted soy nuts. One road I wished I had never gone down...carbs. Not fruit, but pasta, breads, cake, tortilla chips, sugar. I have to fight them a lot...many times they win, but the way I fight them the most is by exercise. Personally I would add some good carbs (complex carbs), and keep up the exercise (whatever that would be). Those are the two biggest pieces of advice I can give. Brian
