Topic: RE: Help please...back to basics....food ideas and support

I also had my RNY in 2007. When I get the urge to graze, I drink a protein shot. I notice that when I get enough protein in I don't graze. I also found some GenSoy chips that aren't too bad. They have protein in them and I don't feel guilty eating them as a snack. I also found that if I don't keep busy I want to snack more. So when I get that urge I try to focus on something else. My highest weight was 292 and today I weigh 156. I am 61 and I don't regret having this surgery either. I recommend it to all my overweight friends. Jan

I had my surgery (bypass not band) April 19th 2007, I donot in any way regret it and would do it again in a heart beat, im 26 now with one chold and want to have 1 more one day in a year or 2 but want to get to my goal weight first. I weigh about 175 and i retain water bad so i take water pills, if i got a few days without it i blow up bad. None the less i have noticed i am grazing alot more then usual, im not hungry moreless just old habbits?? not sure. I need help with food ideas, i think im getting board with my own, and i need to get back to basics, i know i need to work my tool i dont get hungry and my stomach doesnt growl and i fill up easily but i know im not getting enough protein in, can someone give me food ideas and suggestions? id like to loose 35 to 40 more pounds. and id like to do this before summer

Topic: Saw doc today

Well i went in to see my surgeon and well said lots of swelling and my belly button is a gonner. I will have to back the belly button tell it heals closed , I have lots of swelling and suggest i massage the skin to breck up the blood clots. I will see the doc again dec 24 and maybe then drains will come at and i sure hope the staples and stiches will come out.
Accoding to doc scale i have dropped 17 since nov apt., well time to lay down
hugs to all

Lisa!
Sorry about not getting on sooner - I've been out of town on business and haven't been able to get on until today. You look fantastic!!! What a difference! I know you are going to enjoy it - not having all that skin weighing you down! I am so glad you came through it ok. Can't wait until I have mine next year.
