You look absolutely beautiful. The new you! CONGRATS! This is really encouraging for me. Thanks for sharing....

Congrats! Isn't that an awesome feeling! Keep rockin that sleeve!

hummm. i haven't had any trouble with any food so far. I know that I perfer soft foods rather than hard food. I know that when I have El Pollo Loco's chicken tortilla Soup, I love the veggies in it. I usually had veggies to a passion. This is a great change for me. I am 3 months out an am really enjoying it. I still have moments when I order a meal and I look at it and wish I could eat more. Thank God for this sleeve. Happy as can be.

popcorn sounds really good right now. I tried my daughter's cheddar cheese popcorn and it was really good..... LOL

You have very good insight! I find myself doing the same thing. I order food at restaurants and then can only eat a few bites. I do this when I am really hungry and feeling deprived in some way. I found my left overs going to my husband and it's not doing him any favors. Instead, I try to eat on a schedule now, not get too hungry so that my monster doesn't get loose. Sometimes I see myself loosing and then my head goes to a place where it sabotages my success. I have to be kind to myself and remind myself that I'm ok and that I am looking really good. I don't need to beat myself up because it doesn't help, it just makes me really sad. I plan on taking a couple of bites and making better choices. We are all learning to do that....

I was on a liquid diet for 3 weeks and slowly added yogurt, pudding, and any other soft moist food to the menu. I eat really slowly so that I can recognize when I'm getting full. I really liked salmon flaked, chicken salad, and tuna salad. I ate really soft foods for my mushie stage. I couldn't stand the thought of pureed food. It worked for me.

I've noticed that my pants get bigger through out my day, and there not stretch pants either. LOL

My surgeons tell me to take a bite, wait 10 minutes then take another. LOL who can do this? I can't, so what I do is take a bite wait a few minutes and take another bite. Recently, I remembered at the orientation for bariatric surgery for weight loss, the head doc at Kaiser stated, "it will take you 45 minutes to eat half a sandwhich." Doing the math because I had a tendency to eat a little too much, I divided 45 by 10 minutes and figured out that I can only take about 4.5 bites per meal. That has helped alot. So now I count bites and try to slow them down.
I was always hungry for the first 8 weeks. My surgeons never told me about prilosec or nexium for the stomach acid. I received feedback from other members of our club and they suggested prilosec. Since beginning taking it, my hunger has decreased. Today I found that I continue to loose weight at a good pace. about 2 lbs since last tuesday. Love it....
Give your tummy time to register that you are full. Put your food down after taking a bite and do something, then come back to it. If you don't like cold food, then keep the food in a tortilla warmer. You might find this helpful..
Congrats! Your hungry tummy monster will adjust LOL.

This is really scary stuff. We take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. I have been eating some sweets with no repercussions. That scares me, I'm afraid I'm going to stop my weight loss, or worst gain some weight.
I'm not sure what sliders are? Can anybody describe what a slider is?
