What Is Different?

Often I see posts on what happens when people take "one bite to many"....well,that has never happened to me.I can actually eat quite a lot.Usually I try not to but we've been entertaining a lot lately.Tonight after dinner I had something else to eat and for the first time I had a single hick up that I was wondering am I now full,is this it?that feeling of slight tightness in my chest and a hick-up?

 

It is so crazy to hear people say they cannot make 800 calories when I have to stop myself all the time or I would usually average about 1000 whr I eat what I really want to.

 

Then the thing of cutting carbs.I dont do more than 60 carbs on a high day but for me that is high in carbs for weight loss.When I low carbed before I had to stricktly stay under 20 for it to really work.

 

When I do low carb I feel a little on the depressed side.The feel good factor just disappears from my life and I start craving crisps and chocolate badly.

 

I am really worried that I will fail with this sleeve.I am not really dieting as I have this stange reaction of having no expectations so I will not be so disappointed.I suppose in a way after the struggle with the band it is normal to feel this but I will have to pull myself toward myself and start getting with the program and exercise and eat only the right food.

 

I will do this.

Yeah, that's probably the feeling for YOU. I also get the slight tightness and hiccups, about 4 or 5 and I immediately stop eating. If you go too far you will definately feel uncomfortable. This just happened to me yesterday.

I can understand your worry. I am on the mushy food phase and noticed that my calorie intake it getting between 550 - 790 depending on how much of food I eat. I worry when I am going to start meat next week.

As far as the chocolate cravings, have you tried getting your calcium in a chocolate chew flavor?

Keep the faith and if you are real concern, see if you can make an appointment to consult your food options. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks myself to help me stay on track
