I'm 6months out and you will find that you can get more fluids down always ( Soup, Water ,drinks ,even ice cream) its the Protein ( meats ,eggs ,Protein Drinks ) that you become fuller faster! You'll see as time goes on everything gets easier! I still can only consume about 4 oz of meat...but gimme chocolate , I can eat a lot! So I stay away from those foods...75 pounds so far 30 more to go

June 6th surgery ...down 59 pounds....45 more to go!

June 27th surgery date. 73 lbs down. 27 lbs left to go!

I ate anything and everything I wanted! I was not required to do a preop diet....I gained 20 pounds in 3 months! I think its normal , sorta like a food funeral!

The feeling of disappointing myself, lying to myself, and letting me down day after day!!!

I am incorporating Snacks. I am eating sugar free pudding, Jello, mini baby bell cheese and my Protein Shakes or Protein juices.

I'm taking notes...what type of Snacks???
2013 is my year....SD 12/3/12 BK NY

Add a snack mid morning and evening...watch how it falls off! We have been trained to think that if we eat less we lose more , but in fact the opposite! I stalled at 1 month 15 pounds couldn't move the scale..as soon as i added more calories it started to happen , now I'm almost 3 months and down 45 pounds! We are all going to have stalls at some point! I made it up but ..I think stalls are when your body loses inches!!
I am 10 pounds from ONEderland! So excited and my non scale victory toay is I'm 3 pounds from weighing less than my husband!! Keep the faith it WILL happen ...

I'm sorry if this comes off as a brag post but I'm just so dang excited!
I came across a picture of myself from last Christmas (only 8 months ago!) that blew my mind. I don't remember EVER looking like that! Here's that picture along with one I took this past weekend. Please excuse my deranged smile, I was excited that that shirt fit me. Haha. -137 pounds!

Do a search on slider foods, that's what chips and crackers are. Quit eating them.
And don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. Doctors don't yell at grown ups, but grown ups aren't afraid to talk to their doctor. Quit eating junk. Start eating right. Your sleeve is not stretched. You will feel the restriction if you eat solid Proteins and not junk.
