What I Eat in a Day 9 Months Post Gastric Bypass RNY Surgery 

Thank you so much for sharing! I make the laziest pot roast ever - but it's delicious. I get the Tyson Ready for the Slow Cooker pot roast that comes with chopped vegetables and a spice mix. I put a bit of bone broth (about half the carton) in the crockpot, put the roast in put the veggies on top and then I mix the spice packet with the rest of the carton of bone broth and pour it over the top of the veggies/roast. I set it on Low and cook for 9-10 hours (depending on how thick the roast is). Delicious!

@@nicoleislosingit OMGosh, I think I could even do that! LOL Who knew Tyson was such a genius to create such a thing!? Found it in my Aldi grocery store app & it's only $12.99! Well, that's months and months away, but gives hope! Thank you!

Yes, stress is a trigger for me, too. And I will be honest - I have fallen back into some bad snacking habits lately. I have found that if I eat enough at meals and then wait an hour before drinking anything, my stomach seems to better register feeling full and I don't get so snack-y. My problem is I snack in place of meals and don't eat enough at once for my stomach to register I'm full and then I drink too soon and wash all the food down, making my stomach empty again. So my stomach isn't able to send the "full" signal to my brain at any point. It's a constant work in progress, but we've got this!

@gymkata I eat too fast and too much also so these will really help me too! you’ve got this!

Don't beat yourself up - we are all different and your body is still adjusting to its new normal. Some days it feels like my stomach is back to its pre-surgery size and I get worried about how much I'm able to eat. My nutritionist said it is normal and to just slow down and wait for fullness cues. But, then there are days when I really feel the restriction and can't eat much. I just try to take it day by day, making sure I get in my protein before other foods.

@@nicoleislosingit I do have days like that as well where I can hardly eat and others where Im raising an eyebrow at whether I had surgery lol although when Ive tracked my food on those days its still around 1200 calories. Ive been using your ideas and its been helpful. Thank you for your videos :)

This is true

She is still doing good. Its good to take in addition to.

I usually drink about 3/4 of it. :) The PB2 has 50 calories per 2T compared to 180-190 calories per 2T in real peanut butter. That's my real deciding factor between the two - I think they taste similar once the powder is reconstituted.

I did lose about 60% of my hair and it fell out until I was about 9 months out from surgery. One day it just stopped falling out and it was grown back very quickly.

Ditto!

I try to stay around 1,000 calories and under 80 net carbs per day. That is what my nutritionist has recommended.

Typically, iron and calcium need to be taken separately. I'm not exactly sure how the formulation in the Bariatric Fusion vitamins are able to combine both successfully, but my labs are perfect, so it seems to be working out. I still make sure to eat my yogurt an hour after taking the vitamins so it doesn't interfere with the iron, but I'm not sure that is even necessary. I should probably ask the doctor how it works because your question has made me curious...

I hope you are recovering well!

Some days it’s hard to do for sure! It takes practice.

That is my biggest struggle. Every time, I think I am eating slowly but I still get that weird backed up feeling in my chest@@nicoleislosingit

I've been told it helps to put the fork/spoon etc down between bites and chew each bite 20X. I know at least one guy complained that his food was cold halfway through. I can see how that would be an issue. I guess one could reheat depending on what it was. 🤔

She is a bariatric patient and her stomach can only hold around 4 ounces of food per meal.

The “secret” to weight loss is taking in fewer calories than you use. I’m still eating - just not an excessive amount. :)

​@@nicoleislosingitso if you were eating these amounts you would have lost without needing surgery? I'm asking because I fast 20 hours a day and try to eat well but I'm not losing at all, so I'm left with no choice but to have surgery this summer...I'm just tired of being tired.

​@@omadjourneyher type of surgery also bypasses part of your intestines and stomach so your body doesn't absorb nutrients like it used to.

@@veronicavatter6436 oh okay... gotcha. Thanks for explaining it to me as it's really a rabbit hole I'm deep into. I've saved money to have surgery this coming Christmas but I've just joined the gym as I'd like to exhaust that option and know I fully tried before going this route...as surgery will be my last option.
