Ms skinniness

It is so helpful to hear from peoples experiences. I am about 16 months post op and i find myself struggling with my old habits sneaking back in. I can eat more than I use too. My weight is fluctuating up and down a few lbs. I still work at keeping the trigger foods out of my house, and I do throw away a lot of food. My adult kids bring it in and I will discard it when they're not looking..... This is hard work....and it's for a life time....... :ph34r:

:DWe are all so worthy of being praised. It took a long time for me to just say thank you and smile, underneath all that I see myself patting myself on my back..... We've all done good so keep it up........

chicken salad, salami, ham, veggie's, soup.....

We are all wonderful loving people and so worthy of everything to come.......We are all letting are skinny people inside us out.... CHEERS!

Too be honest, your memory of it won't taste the same now.... It's just a memory........it will taste pretty bad also...... Your doing great so just keep going....CONGRATS!

This is so funny!

This what we all doooooo. The key to this is to work on your issues that trigger the old habits and don't give in. I know that if I have junk food in the house, I will eat it. So I don't have any junk food. I have changed my whole way of thinking. Instead of thinking big, I've changed to thinking and believing that small is better......I have tried and I keep testing sugary foods but I always end up with some sort of ailment. So today, I'm working on sustaining from unhealthy foods and look at the triggers I am experiencing when I act on those triggers. This is the hardest journey we will take, but the best journey I will ever have. You can do this and change those self defeating behaviors if you choose to. It's totally up to you. CONGRATS! I hope to have you sitting on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH next to me! Thank you so much for sharing this....

Love the porn! Yayyyyy! Thanks for the recipe.....

This is not an easy journey at times but it is well worth it. Here's to a quick recovery and hope things get better for you..... CONGRATS on your weight loss.....

That's fabulous! Keep it up.....

The good news is, you will be able to get back to framing soon. It does pass and you will get stronger and stronger and able to endure more physical activities.

Congrats! I am also 5'6" and I'm down to 143 lbs. We have similar stats and I love reading your posts.....I use to think that I was large boned but discovered that I'm actually medium boned....Keep it up ladies and gentlemen. We are all success stories.....

Bos123 thank you so much for sharing this. This is a journey many of us are on. We may lose our fat costume but we still struggle with the same issues when skinny. We are still psychologically dealing with undealt baggage from our past that lead to our eating disorder. It's fantastic that you recognize this and have decided to start shedding the layers of ourselves to reach a new level in our lives. to be happy with who we are and to be able to trust others is an excellent goal......Great job!

Congrats! This is so exciting......and yet more to come! hyayyyyyyy

Motochic: wow, I have heard and read about people gaining weight back but what we don't know is, what kind of foods did this guy eat? Wish I knew.....I do know that i am hungrier now than before, I can eat much more, and my calorie intake is around 1300 calories or less. Now my DH wants to eat whet free. It has helped him with his blood sugar levels. For the past few days, his glucose levels have been in the normal range.......Yayyyyyyyyyy. So happy for him.....He has even dropped some weight also....

Lookin hot !

This is toooooo funny! Lol

NtvTx: I love that you have surpassed your goal weight......I want to lose just a little bit more..... I am going to work hard at accomplishing it, but if not, then I will be ok with where I am.....I do love my skinniness. I'm more afraid of gaining weight.....whewwwww! This is a lot of worrying.... LOL

NtvTx; my typical day starts with a Pure Protein Chocolate shake, 1 fried egg with cheese, tuna salad (no bread), chicken salad (no bread), rib eye steak 2oz grilled, 1/4th baked potato, salad, veggies (3 bites) and 2 bites of salad...... 3 bites of fruit...Today so far I've had a shake, protein bar, scrambled eggs with diced ham and some fruit. for dinner I will have a taco salad minus the tortilla.......meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato's. Before bed 1/2 of an apple or pear....... You can add me as a friend on myfitnesspal.com address is dorrierobles2003@yahoo.com..... I do eat a lot of peanuts and nuts too......I'm kinda loss without my crackers too......

My surgeon's office all use a 32. Bougie. It's what they feel comfortable with.

This is one of the best NSV's ever! Keep this snapshot in your vision.......Beautiful pic!

The liquid vicodin kept me awake for 3 nights I finally went in to urgent care and got a prescription for Tylenol #3. I also learned to crawl in bed and not use my stomach muscles. I'd put my knees up on the bed and then lower myself down. It truly made a big difference. Here's to a speedy recovery.....

Fiber one brownies give me gas! Not a little but a lot....... Oh and I can eat quite a few of them too........

How about a small piece of fruit? I have been eating nuts as my snack and I agree about the calories being too high......So I too am looking for some snack foods. I'm on a little more difficult of a journey starting today. I'm cutting out all the wheat and processed foods......I do love hearing about your experiences and look forward to hearing more from you..... Can I ask what you eat throughout the day and if you are on myfitnesspal.com? thanks

this is so normal it takes a while for our heads to catch up with our body size........Try and sit back and enjoy the journey.....you will be learning a lot about yourself in the time to come......
