Lose_it

No I'm not hungry all the time but I'm am starting to become more and more. I am about 4 weeks out post op this Friday and my dr said people usually start to become hungry 3 to 6 weeks out when swelling goes down. I go June 14th for fill

I think I'm finally back to normal and the flu has left this house and my body!! I havnt really been eating because of it.. Soup here and there tomorrow I am going to try and get back on schedule!

I don't have that problem anymore I told him it made he feel bad so he eats now and I just eat with them, my food is just little different. Last week a girl i work with and I were talking about people watching us eat! It makes us nervous. And if we eat something like the chicken that didnt go down right people ask, of coarse out of love, are you okay? Are you choking? or they stop eating with us!

Ladies I'm not really eating anything I think I might of caught the flu???ž

Running really late!!!!! Yesterday's meal Breakfast: strawberries and cream oatmeal I love oatmeal if you guys havnt noticed!☺ lunch Protein Shake Dinner: tried shredded chicken it didn't go very well at all ???’which stink I love chicken but I love my health more???Š So I ate mashed potatoes and cottage cheese

Daisy don't get down on yourself. Just stick to the plan and maybe write down what you are eating and bring with you to the dr. and they can give you suggestions

I think drinking enough and keeping your mind occupied helps a lot. If I'm at home on my day off with not a lot going on I want to eat and food that counts helps too I still drink a protein shake

O Daisy I get like that too! I just am hungry. Lol I seem to get like that when I'm bored so I try and keep myself busy and forget about it or drink some water. Sometimes it helps me and sometimes it does not. I hear this is the worst part until our first fill.

Daisy I am drink the G2 not the regular. My doctor allows 1 6oz glass of fruit juice a day but it has to be 3oz juice 3oz Water I'm not a big fruit drinker though so I'm really not sure how that would taste. On a great note I finally lost 3 pounds!!!! I am sooo excited to get off the number I plateaued at! I got off and back on the scale to make sure it was right???ƒ! Okay okay I did it more than one more time I wanted to make sure the scale was not lying to me! ☺ I'm working A double today so I'm going to post this am if that is alright. I planned and packed my meals for the day. Breakfast: creamy oatmeal Lunch: shakeology Protein Shake and yoplait yogurt light fat free snack if needed yoplait fat free light yogurt Dinner: left overs 1/2c whole wheat Pasta 1/2c low fat cottage cheese

Sorry Md I tried to reply on my lunch today but it just kept saying sending and never went through. Some nights I'm not going to be on here til later. After I get off of work it seems like me and Adam (my husband) start our second job with our 3 boys. Until we lay them down and now it is summer so later bed time!!! LOL But Md I wouldnt push myself to hard in your first month to month in half. I pushed to hard in the first week and one of my incisions came back open (it was fine) but I could of put my journey on hold if I didn't wise up and follow dr orders. I'm not a very patient person. Maybe go to gym and go until you start hurting then I would either yak a break or walk on treadmill until it stopped hurting then go back to your previous work out. You don't want to push to much and delay your journey! Breakfast: Creamy oatmeal Lunch: Shakeology Protein Shake dinner 1/2c whole wheat Pasta 1/2 low fat cottage cheese 1/4-1/2 green Beans Water about 4 8oz bottles. Gatorade 16oz I always have a drink in my hand that seems to be one of the hardest parts for myself to be more cautious of drinking slowly. I have always been someone that drinks a lot water, tea, diet 7up, Gatorade anything and now I have to be more cautious of drinking slow and not just downing it!

N

I think that I am going to join you ladies on being held accountable everyday!!

That is also what I was told. Then when iwebt to my week check up sh went ahead and took them off and put a little bandage on one

It's a little frustrating but I'll make it through. I go for my first fill the beginning of June and I'm ready !

Good Afternoon!!! I went to my dr last Thursday and they said Everything looked great! I was happy to hear that. Then they asked if I had hit a plateau yet in my weight and that it would happen more than likely before my first fill... And it happened grrr! I was wondering if anyone else has hit a plateau yet and if so how are you staying on track I get frustrated not seeing the scale go down as it was.

I did that too. Lost a 11 pounds before surgery and 3 after but havnt really lost anything after! I was kind of nervous but I went to the dr last Thursday and they said it was normal and I would plateau. That I had to watch because sooner or later I would start become hungry and I needed to keep what I eat under control and follow diet so I didn't regain

WooHoo Daisy!! Glad that your doing well after surgery!!!

Good luck tomorrow whymomwhy!!!

Good Luck Daisychains!!!!

I will double check with him tomorrow and see about straw

Thank you! The hardest part is relaxing but I have quickly learned my lesson! Lol. I really have not had any gas pain a lot of burping though. I can kind of feel a gurgle and then an air bubble come up and burp. I'm use to at home just belting them out (not very lady like I know) but even when we are out in public it just comes. I think it has helped the gas pain to get up and move and to have my back on a heating pad. This morning a had a little pain in my shoulder I got up and moved around a bit then sat on heating pad and it went away. nothing too bad. The walking is suppose to be just to the bathroom and back to couch I pushed it too much. The next day a little more So please don't over do it it was not smart on my part. My eating I pay attention to because in afraid of getting sick. My diet is full liquids for 2 weeks yesterday I had a can of broth for lunch and it went fine. Then I tried broth for dinner and I could only eat half a can so I didn't push it. I always Carry a drink with me with a straw so I don't gulp it down and that seems to be working to get all my liquids in. I still wouldn't change my mind about doing it and glad I didn't back out. I am a little sore from surgery but nothing not manageable. When is your surgery coming?

The hardest part is the relaxing for me! But quickly learne my lesson. I have been burping a lot but not a whole lot of gas pain in my shoulde. But I have also been Laying on a heating pad

@eyewinder I promise no more over doing it I learned my lesson. I was able to eat a 10oz can of just broth just small amounts and I didn't rush it since it was my first soup it went pretty well.

Thank you!! Feeling pretty good day two! But I need to realize I need to take it easy. Like the doctor said. I had to change a bandage today because I have over done it and one of my incisions bleed through. So I'm getting up from time to time but resting most of the time. I ate my first bowl of broth today also and took it slow I seemed to hold it down just fine. But has anyone else noticed they have been burping a lot! I can feel when I have to burp then i have just a little pain in my chest and I feel it come up and I feel so much better after but not very attractive lol.

I am 5'5 my goal is 145. I can't wait to finally hit that goal!!
