Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Have been ill - now stomach has shrunk! Hello all, Sorry I haven't posted in a while - my whole family has been under the weather. I was eating along happily until I got sick and it feels like I've re-shrunk my pouch. I'm back to yogurt, protein shakes, bananas, and peanut butter. I'm eight months out and have lost over 100 pounds. It's true I want to lose more, but I like to control what I'm losing (sound wierd?) I don't want to lose too quickly, but it's falling off right now - I guess I shouldn't complain! I found an interesting magazine article in Woman's Day (Mar 2008 pg. 132) that says the right foods for weight loss (non-op) are: unlimited fruits and veggies plus 10 "super-foods" which are yogurt, blueberries, pumpkin, soy, oats, salmon, beans, walnuts, tea, oranges, tomatoes, broccoli, turkey and spinach. Does anyone have a comment on that list? I do eat quite a few of them, I must admit, but can't eat an 'unlimited' amount of fruits and veggies a day without missing out on protein! I have an appointment at Gold's Gym on Monday to establish a regular workout routine. Good thing, because in the past two weeks while ill, I haven't been able to exercise.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Glad you're starting to feel better ~ have fun at the gym  As for super foods - I think they're just really good for you foods. If we focus on protein but surround the protein with healthy choices, so much the better.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | So sorry that you and your family have been ill, but it sounds like things are turning around and your feeling better. Wish I could help and answer a question or two, but since I've not experienced the "pouch" yet, all I can say is have fun at the gym and maybe a trainer there can help you out too.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | ugh, sorry you've all been sick. Hopefully everyone will be well soon. As for the "super foods", a lot of them are high antioxidant blends, high omega 3 and 6, high in protein....so my thought is they are picking the richest, foods in each catagory that have the best benifits??? Just a guess.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Glad to hear you are on the mend. As for the foods, Doc is right, we still need moderation with good foods too. Personally, I am addicted to green tea right now, I have at least 40 oz. a day!!!Yikes!!! And I have recently bought white tea, the box claims it may be even better for us than green tea. And I noticed oranges on the list, I have had 1 orange a day since the flu and the other things have started going around and I have a sneaky suspicion that is why I have not caught anything yet, hhmmmm... The others are great protein and fiber, which we all need protein now, and fiber is a benefit to those of us that are having a difficult time with the BM's since surgery.
