1yr out patients

I am about to hit my one year mark in a few months and was curious to see how much everyone eats at this point. I am also proud to say that I no longer have high blood pressure anymore at the age of 26..whoohoooo

Are you still eating every two hours? How much are you eating in a setting? How much can you drink in a setting? Some people count calories at this point but my doctor doesn't want me to worry about that. Any bad habits come back?

I, schedule myself to eat every two hours. It's easy for me because I stay home. I can drink about 3/4 of a cup at a time which is probably too much. If I'm on the go I always carry a bottle of Water and some nuts/apples so I don't get too hungry. My worst habit is bored eating and probably taking big bites. I have only gotten sick once since my surgery and it was my own fault for stuffing too much food at once too quickly.

Congrats on the loss and on that beautiful blood pressure!!

I still eat no more than 4 oz at a time (snacks are usually 2oz). And I eat about 6 times per day- at least 2 hours apart.

I never really time my drinking.

Worst habit: I forgot to chew a shrimp yesterday, that didn't feel too good. Lol.

And I'm lazy about my Water intake while at work (actually I work in a pretty busy setting and sometimes just can't.) but I'm getting better- all my coworkers are making an effort to drink more water-- which is pretty cool!

And I like Protein suppliements a bit too much... Yeah, crazy.

Thank you! No more bp meds! Do you actually weigh your food or just measure out the 1/2 of cup? Because 4oz of something looks different then 1/2c.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
