It is hard to believe I am already 4 weeks out. I have begun my transition to soft foods and thus far the only thing I have found that is no good for me is pork chops..had them last night only 1oz but it made me feel horrible for a few hours. I know I ate slow enough and I chewed it really well so I am not sure what my pouch didnt like but I wont be eating it again for a while. I am amazed at my progress to day I have lost 18.8lbs which to me is amazing I have hit a weight I havent seen in almost 2 years. Even with that little bit of weight loss things seem so much easier like exercise and playing with my kiddos I cant believe what a difference I feel..I am ecstatic to continue my journey and what the future will hold for me. Thanks for all the advice and support along the way I hope to continue here and sit back and enjoy my journey.

Awesome!!! Just plain AWESOME!!! These are the best times, enjoy!!! Oh I loved finding out what I couldn't eat. Yup, and I'm 3.5 years out and still can't eat ice cream, more than one bite, and I don't really crave sweets or chocolate. I LOVE RNY!!!

You're doing great.  Just take the new foods slow, and you'll find what works for you. 

Isn't it fun to be more active again

Thanks everyone...I started my exercise routine about 4 months before my surgery and returned to it after 2 weeks and I love it...I will never miss my work out session and I love discovering how much easier it is for me to do know then before. I am loving it!!! As far as food I am very cautious and havent branched out too much but I will get there...I have found something though that works as a great snack for my kids and 1-2 bites cures my sweet cravings...SF Icecream is the best and the kids dont even know the difference. LOL I love helping them to make better choices too so hopefully they will not end up like me in 20 years.  Thanks for all the support guys and I am really looking foward to more milestones

You're doing great....

Okay, on the SF ice cream...read labels...SF means they added artificial sweetners and extra fat. And while *I* can always use extra fat, not everyone can.

Comparing the labels of a popular brand:
Breyers Regular Vanilla: 14 grams of carbs (all are natural sugar), 3 grams of protein
Breyers CarbSmart Vanilla: 13 grams of carbs/5 sugar alchols/2 grams of protein
Breyers SF vanilla: 13 grams/4 sugar alcohols/2 grams of protein.

Personally for just ONE carb, I'll stick to the real stuff.

You will have to try pork chops in another month or so, chicken was really hard for me @ first but now I can eat it. I'm glad you are doing well
