Congrats on your weight loss so far. I had my Open RNY on August 21. I've lost 48 lbs and have been there for about 2 weeks. I walk 3x a week. I try to drink plenty of water. What else can I do to get back to losing weight? Any advice?

HI Evceryone! Thanks to all *****sponded to my last post. I probably should have written all of the information that I will need in that post but I wasn't thinking that far. To those who are unfamiliar with the first post, I am creating a weight losss surgery cookbook for a school project. I hads surgery about 3 months ago and my mom is going to have her surgery on the third of December, so I thought that this would be a fun project for bot of us. Here is the information that I will need from anyone who would like to participate =) Your answers and recipies can be sent to me directly if you don't want to post them. 1) Full Name and age 2) When did you have your surgery? 3) What were some of your favorite recipies during the liquid/soft food/ solid food stage? 4) What did these recipies mean to you? 5) How have these recipies contributed to your new, healthy lifestyle? 6) Were any of these recipies recreated from those that you had before surgery? If so, what did you change and why? 7) Where/ when did you learn these recipies? Again, thank you to all who participate =)

I can eat pretty much anything as long as it is moist and tender. I do try to have one Protein shake made with skim milk per day to keep my numbers up there because I can still only eat small portions. I like Matrix Cookies and Cream or Unjury Unflavoured mixed with 1/2 a banana and AF Chocolate Syrup or Davinci SF Caramel syrup. Have to make sure I go slow and chew, chew, chew though. I don't do any white carbs or sugar. For me the 64 oz have to be Clear, Calorie Free and non Carbonated to count. This is one area I really struggle with most days. Linda

Okay, I haven't really dumped since surgery but I have had episodes of feeling very tired and some nausea. First thing I need to tell you is don't eat anything out of McD's. That is a HUGE NO NO. I had surgery 10 days after you and my nutritionist and doctor telll me it's way too early to have anything like that. If you are having this much dumping, maybe you should go back to hearty soups instead of complete solids. Also, if you get the foamies as some people do, have some lemon or lime popsicles in the freezer. The light acidity will help stabilize the stomach. Good Luck!

Congratulations everyone on your weight loss, I am down 55 pounds since surgery and wearing clothes I have not worn in years, It is an Amazing Feeling Isn't It ??
