Thank you for this post! I am struggling with regain as well. I am depressed and miserable. One of my basics is this group and My Fitness Pal. Yes, time to get back to the basics.

I am 3 1/2 years post op. I can eat significantly more than first 2 years post op. Perhaps I should say I 'do' eat more. I can eat 1 egg over medium. Not good with scrambled eggs though. About 3 ounces of turkey (not so much chicken - 1-2 ounces if breast meat). 1/2 cup of most any steamed vegetable. A whole medium peach or 1/2 Apple. 1/2 cornbread muffin or biscuit, 3/4 pkt tuna creations with 3-4 crackers, 1/3 cup cottage cheese with 3 ounces yoghurt
I have discovered that I am still a stress eater. I can eat grab bag of Cheetos, lots of chips and salsa, etc. refined sugars make me feel exhausted about 30 min to hour after eating them. After that I crave carbs for 2-3 days minimum.

Hubby takes joint promotion faithfully and swears by it so I became a distributor and have been looking into other advocare products.

Wondering if anyone has recipe already perfected? I am thinking start with scoop of protein powder added to Starbucks via. Looking for something quick and easy while on vacation. I have been looking at click and fit frappe. Thinking I can make cheaper with better stats.

Hubby has recently started taking a couple of advocare products-joint promotion one of them. He is kind if person who does not take pills or any med for that matter, much at all. However, because he can tell such a difference in how he feels (less joint pain, etc). He takes them daily. It got me interrested- I see that the protein shots are a mixture of whey protein and collagen protein. I sm wondering how collagen protein is beneficial- i dont think it promotes muscle mass. I will research more.... in addition it does seem like their products are geared to being physically active and the carbs are a little high. Thoughts?

I have graduated to double doses of miralax daily and then to MOM. Tried fiber and extra water and ended up with concrete stools. I eat vegetables, flax seed, Metamucil wafers with 2 cups of coffee every morning, drink green tea - still very constipated. I do not want to continue taking "laxitives". Any other "all natural" remedies? Prunes have way too many carbs....

I have a feeling of "emptiness/nausea" when I "need" to eat. I was 1 year postop 1/2013
I have lost quite a bit of hair but my hair was thick to start with. Hair loss has not been an issue for me.
No malabsorption problem with VSG.
My taste have changed and continue to change. I may try something and not like it and try it again a few months later and really like it.
Preop my weakness was sweets and diet coke. No prob with either now. Never dreamed I would go over a year without diet coke !
