What's on your Menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?
This is my first reply on this page. I have not had a meltdown yet but I still very new at this. I joined this site back in 2009 when I was considering having the surgery. I got overwhelmed by all the hoops we have to jump through for months before we actually get a surgery date. I restarted the process this past January and had surgery on June 14, 2016. My highest weight was 466. I shocks me to see the number in black and white. I am so far one of those folks who say I wish I had done it sooner. I have had no side effects. I had very little post op pain and no nausea. I vomited twice in the hospital and one more time several weeks out (I ate too much to fast). Today is my 55 birthday and I wanted to lose 110 pounds. I missed it by 6 pounds but I feel very happy about losing 104. This is what I eat almost every day.
B. Premiere Protein shake
L. Oikos low fat fruit on the bottom black cherry Greek yogurt
D. A frozen dinner Either lean cuisine or smart ones (eat one in divided servings
S. An Oscar Meyer P3 protein pack.
I have eaten refined sugar (had a small piece of birthday ice cream cake) but it did not bother my stomach at all, no cramping, no excess gas, no diarrhea, no nausea. This makes me nervous because I love sweets. I don't exercise but I try walk a lot. I don't know what I am doing I just know that I want to lose 150 more pounds and keep it off for ever.
