Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Rose, I am only 4 months post op and I have already lost 64 pounds, my friend is 6 months post op and is @ the 80 pound mark also. We have still been doing our protein shakes and eating fish chicken that sort of thing and drinking lots of water. I am no dr or expert by no means but I would say your doing wonderfully. Keep up the good work, don't rush it we r on our way!!!! Lori (Fremont In) 5-5-03 234/168/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 you haven't been doing shakes and bars, does that mean we eventually get to quit eating those nasty things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi, this is Rose. It has been a long time since I have posted. I hope everyone is doing well. I have a question for people who are out more than 6 months and have been successful in their weight loss. What are you eating???? I am out 7 months and have lost 80 pounds. Most people who had surgery around the same time I did have lost much more weight than that. Please understand that I am thrilled to be down 80 pounds and would not give this up for anything in the world. Nevertheless, I thought that maybe some of you who have done well might have some information on what worked for you. Lori - how are you girl?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 I don't think that I am good example. I had been tracking my food on fitday.com for months and had been eating the required amount of protein through my meals, so I stopped. In retrospect, I think that was a mistake. > you haven't been doing shakes and bars, does that mean we eventually get to > quit eating those nasty things? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi Matt, I have had one experience with spicy food. I made a dish that had green chilies in it. When I ate it did not seem hot but about half hour later my stomach hurt pretty bad and the irritation stayed there for about 5 days. Not even taking the Protonix helped. So for me I would recommend really toning down on the spicy food. At one support group meeting that I went to they actually said to not eat chilies anymore or alcohol because they can cause ulcers.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Kay: I am SOOOOoooo glad you mentioned that about feeling tired. I am! I am glad you mentioned it because now I feel normal. I am usually a live-wire and very busy, I was expecting to be back and at a normal pace before this. I am finding that I start out in the morning with a lot of energy and by the afternoon I am dead tired and needing a nap. I hate that! I was afraid that this was going to be my life from now on. With your little comment it brought HOPE! Thanks a TON! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
