Ok... Here goes B- 1/2 scrambled egg 1 slice of bacon L- 1/2 piece of Tilapia highlander brand) D- 4 naked chicken wings FRIED!!!! Snack- Energy Vitamin Water Do not follow my example here bc I paid dearly for poor choices w a 1.5lb weight gain , very sad about this... Feeling like I can't get control sometimesI have learned so much in the past 6 weeks. I have quickly noticed I can sabotage my weightloss with cheesecake!!!! And other soft sweet treats! As soon as I cut them out mentally the downward journey began. I am über excited with progress thus far!My top weight was 271 and after 6wks of my sleeve I am 239 and my goal is 175lbsI just ate Doritos and feel full regretI'm about 5 weeks out and have fallen into temptation! I too can eat nearly a whole slice no crust in about twenty min. I feel horrible bc I know it's not in the diet plan but I feel so dam deprived and it didn't hurt to eat itI cheated w a skinny cow heavenly crisp 4weeks post op! I feel what ur going thruCan't wait to hear some answers. I'm about 4wks post op and have just wanted sangria but avoided it bc of high sugar content.I make my own protein bars so I know what's in it.250cal/9gproteinMacadamian cliff bar is amazing. But sadly high in carbs.Nearly a week and no loss and no loss of inches... Is my body used to this amount of food?I'm officially a slow loser...I'm 2 weeks out and lost a rapid 20lbs and I'm at a stall!!! So I'm ok for now... It's been 3 days and no drop but I know their is no way this eating 500 calories a day will not equal weightloss. It just can't be mathematically correct... So I'm being patient.You never regret eating healthy, you always regret eating unhealthy. I actually ate better before surgery to get my mind right. Salads and more salads. The weight will still take effort to come off and you will think back had I been this weight the day of surgery I would be this weight post op had I not went od.Yes I was told this 25 xNo it was very uncomfortable as they pull it out but other that that I kept my pain meds close by so maybe that's y I didn't feel Te pain.2 weeks out -19lbsOur bodies adjust to what we are now eating and it will continue to drop if you continue the proper food stages from your surgeon.I wasn't offered a payment plan at the hospital, I sure wish I was offered that because the $2k+ was a chunky amount I didn't have just lying around but it's done and hope I don't get more bills...Everything will be over before you know it! Scooting over on the losers benchI had surgery July 5th and if I see food it comes to mind I wish I could have it but I know I can't. Plus honestly I'm not even hungry. Chicken broth is so soothing to eat and goes down so nice and warm I am shocked you have the want to eat/hunger. We need to pay attention to our stomach not our brains we can get thru thisIf ur like me sleep will be hard to find tonight! I'm day 5 of my surgery and recovering nicely. You will be great once it's done and over withIM on day 5 post OP and finding it hard to get my liquids in! I also barely have the desire for anything! This is tough. I know many of us wish we weren't hungry but not being hungry and not eating is not healthy that's for sure but IM trying hard to push down some liquids.Idk how to add ppl on myfitnesspal but if you do my name is: bandidalinda (I am 4 days post op)
