Just had RNY Gastric Bypass a 3 Days ago
Hey thanks for the reply! We weren't so much having a private conversation, just not many people responded LOL.
You're right - and I found that it isn't possible to go without something sweet. 2 Weeks after surgery I had a bit of D**** cream cake for a birthday and I ate a SLIVER and only the ice cream and a bit of the cookie crumbs - but NOT that icing (its waaay too sweet) but then I had a small piece as a snack for a couple of nights - but only a little bit and only the ice cream and crumbs. I usually took a piece too big (still getting used to the size thing) so then I'd toss i into the sink in shock - me THROW OUT CAKE?! LOL
And then one night I had a drumstick - I had a HORRIBLE craving for it. But it made me sick and I don't want one again any time soon.
I started to eat a twinkie one day, and I realized I hated the taste of it so I spit it out and threw out the rest of it - another shocker for me!!!
And lately I had a few chocolate mint girl guide cookies - a couple here and there, but I usually spit them out because they were gross. Sometimes they made me really feel sick - but it's hard for me to say "NO!" So I'm still trying to get over that.
I've got a food diary now - it was supposed to stop me from eating too much, but now that I read over what I wrote down, I'm eating less than I thought - and for times where I was having problems snacking, it was because I hadn't eaten enough for the meals or didn't have enough water.
I know this is long and part of this has nothing to do with what we were talking about, but I can't stop typing once I start. LOL
Hmmm that's a good question for the main message board - you get alot of opinions from people that have been there with hair loss.
I'm 5 weeks out and I haven't noticed any hairloss, I'm not sure when it starts happening - but I think if you take all of your vitamins and everything you should be alright.
Take Care,
