@logicwand I fast forward through allll tv commercials. Especially food. much easier to "walk on by" then looking at yummy foods that's why "they" invented DVR's and Netflex. good luck kathy

We were in Arizona and I didn’t think to make dinner reservations, so we went to Waffle House. I had one-half of a cheese and eggs plate with sausage, hash browns and cinnamon raisin toast. I should’ve had a kids meal.

I had RNY gastric bypass just recently. I don’t get the hungry sensation in my stomach ( you know growling and noises ) but my brain tells me to eat eat eat and I just ignore it or drink fluids. It is very much a mental issue, because I am so new to this process. I am measuring my food out and weighing it just to get in the habit of eating less for once I am further out. If I finish it, I finish it and if I don’t I don’t, but after 30 mins I discard it and I don’t drink anything while I eat. I agree with what the post above says in regards to actual hunger and mental hunger. Just do your best and talk your feelings. Remember why you did this in the first place. It is a very difficult journey, but just remind yourself everyday and push through. I hope things get better for you.

So today its been abit more than 5 weeks since i got my sleeve. i did not take my weight before the surgery itself, but i did check it 2 weeks before. at that time i was 168 kg / 370 lbs. the weight in my household has a max of 150kg / 330lbs. so whenever i used it in the last 2 years it just said "error" ( we used to laugh about that). i tried to use it last week and still got the "error" but it was fine. i didnt expect to fly down in weight. today i had this feeling, and decided to try it. it said 148 kg / 326lbs. at first i tought it was a mistake. so i tried again. then i went to my workplace ( hospital) and used their vastly more advanced one. still said 148. talked to my doctor. i had done everything right. so all in all great day. ive lost almost 20kg/44lbs in 6 weeks (counting from 2 weeks before surgery when i started 1k kcal a day). which is amazing! My family wants to celebrate so i think today, ill make my favorite purèe meal Tandoori chicken !

Great start! (And, by the way, thank you for putting your starting weight in your post lest some 250 pound person begin lamenting because they didn't lose 44 pounds in 6 weeks.) Keep up the good work. I started about 30 pounds above you, and I weigh 173 now (at 6'0"). It is a long journey, but so worth it. Best wishes!

I ordered two books from Amazon today. Both by Dr V big Ass Salads and one for green smoothies after wls. I love watching his videos on YouTube and Facebook. HW 270 CW 214.6 SW 242.8 GW 135 DS Surgery date -12-8-17 I’m 42 and 5’2”

Size shouldn't matter as much as efficency. It is a tool for your future, I'm sure your surgeon made it a proper diameter and size, it's not their first rodeo, ya. know. Now it's up to you to use this gift and use it wisely. Best wishes now and for your future surgery. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine said 32 which is the smallest he uses. But I don't think it really matters. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Sugar and bread. I’m sure every processed carb. I did try a sweet potato fry and it was ok. I am happy I can’t digest sweets and breads and pastries. Very happy. May it never change.
