I picked up some Kefir from the supermarket the other day, the plain flavor is pretty low carb. I added some 0 cal caramel syrup flavoring for coffee and stuff to it, made it much easier to drink. Dont care for bitter plain yogurt flavors lol

Hi Everyone
I had RNY almost 3 years ago. I was able to lose about 80lbs, but gained back about 20 or so a year later. I have not been eating well, and have felt a little depressed. I am trying to get back into exercising, and controlling what I'm eating again - but it is so hard. I am still about 70lbs from my goal weight. I would love suggestions or ideas to get my butt back into gear. Thank you

RNY - 01Aug2013
Had first child in January 2016.
When I wake up I have a protein shake
snack - 1/2 cup cottage cheese or such
lunch - protein shake
snack - cup of veggies or 1/3 cup of nuts
supper - 4 oz lean meat. Half plate of veggies and 2 real tbsp of carb not heaping.
What's a typical day of food?
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I am a bit over a year out, and am also thinking of a fitness competition. I'm about 139 (+/- one or two pounds) and really want to get down another ten of fat, and add about 7 of muscle. Have you guys had any luck?
Hi all -
I'm 2 weeks post op and was cleared to soft foods stage (just ate my first egg...yeah!).
I'm also cleared to start taking supplements and would like to find bariatric-friendly replacements for a couple of my supplements.
I haven't found anything for a probiotic.
Also, has anyone done fish oil this early? I can do a liquid but my nutritionist says that fats are hard to tolerate at this stage.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I am 5 months in to the clinic pre surgery. I am having a hard time losing any amount of weight. Nurse, dietician are happy with what I am eating but not losing. I have been off work with a pulled hamstring for several weeks and not allowed to due any amount of walking or exercising. I waitress normally so I normally get 12000 to 20000 steps in day.
Do you mean you're 5 months post op or are you 5 months trying to lose 10% prior to surgery?

Those are definitely citrate. They are 7g of sugar per dose of calcium, though, which is pretty high for vitamins.
