Topic: Checking In

It's been a little while since I've posted. What a ride it's been! Ironically, I put off having VSG the first time because I was convinced I was going to have to flee the country after my last election, and that my food choices would be limited. How bizarre to be in a pandemic, confined to my house basically, with limits on what food I can obtain! :D In all seriousness, I'm doing pretty well. I had to have my gallbladder removed last week, semi-urgently which was an adventure, but I'm doing well. I'm down over 100lbs in just over 6 months, which is surprising but awesome. I hope everyone is doing well!

Topic: RE: I Have Fallen Off the Wagon, Drug it Threw the Mud, Set it on Fire, and Watched it Burn

it's on this site. Just look at the threads under RNY. The menu threads are always titled something like "What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNY'ers?". People get on there to post their daily menus. There are a lot of "regulars", many of us a year or more out. Some have been on for years I've found them to be very supportive - and a lot of us have become friends. We "talk" about more than just our menus!

I have also fallen off the wagon and have been so sad. I've lost about 60 pounds since my sleeve two years ago but haven't been able to get down I am looking for support and to get back on track

Topic: RE: Trouble digesting meats

Thank you for that thought. When things return to normal, I will likely do a follow up with my doctor. An allergy to meats will be sad for me.

You've already consulted a doctor, but here's something they might not have thought about: You could have developed an allergy to meat. One possible cause of this is a tick bite (https://acaai.org/allergies/types/food-allergies/types-food- allergy/meat-allergy). You can get a tick bite without knowing it. Early on, the only reaction might be digestive discomfort, but be on the lookout for hives or respiratory symptoms.

White Dove, I myself can rarely eat meat that is reheated in the microwave unless it's done at a low temp and is actually reheated and not cooked again, so I am understanding how something zapped in there could be too dry for her to eat, it makes sense.

It is hard for a while when you can only eat a few bites. I felt bad for the person who prepared it. I also can almost never eat meat that has been reheated in the microwave. If I take something home, I often eat it cold. Tell you daughter to be careful about heating food in the microwave because it can make it too dry and tough for us to handle.
