What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

I am not sure who your comments are directed at but if they were directed at me I think what you said is quite rude, mean and inappropriate.

Are you REALLY telling a former Morbidly Obese person who has an eating disorder that "it amazes me you can eat that much?"

What other pearls of advice do you want to give us all on the Menu thread? Or better yet, keep your opinions to yourself if this is what you have to say.

THAT WAS NEVER MY INTENT! OMG--NO. I am ten years out from my bypass. I struggle to get enough food into my body to maintain health. Almost everything I put into my mouth makes me sick to my stomach. I don't know what a meal tastes like unless it is followed by antacids or worse--a narcotic prescription that settles the spams but knocks me completely out. I WISH I COULD EAT even close to what you manage. I am chronically fatigued, have lost muscle mass and strength, and spend at least 1-2 days a week in bed because I am too weak to do anything else. I am not giving advice--I am truly in amazement that so many RNY patients are able to eat normally.

While I would never go back to over-eating or binging, I do wish I could enjoy a simple meal with my friends or family without feeling ill if I attempt to eat what they eat. I usually eat 5-6 bites of an appetizer, secretively pop in my antacids, and then try to sip a beverage as they finish their meals because that is all I can manage.

Please don't be offended. I was not being critical. I was being jealous.

>> I look at the amount of food on this chart and it amazes me that you can eat that much.

This forum has a lot of people with eating disorders. It's not OK, IMO, to make a comment about someone else's eating habits that could potentially be triggering.

Please see my post about being physically unable to eat at all. I was not commenting on their eating habits. I was jealous because it has been many, many years since I have enjoyed any type of meal at all. I need to use marijuana edibles to even have a desire to eat anything on a daily basis. I could go days without any food at all and not even notice it except for the weak state it leaves me in.
