I detest tracking too, so I try to make a game of it. I reward myself when I record my meal. I try to record my foods before I eat them. Now that I'm post-op, I find my OCD kicking in because I want to make sure I hit my Protein for the day, and Fluid levels, and etc. I don't have much advice for you except to say I feel your pain. Sometimes there's nothing to it but to just force yourself to do it. Good luck!

I'm another who has had the ablation and it's been a life changer for me. I've always been regular, and I still am now, but instead of having to use a tampon the size of a pool noodle along with an overnight napkin, now I use only panty liners. It was amazing, practically painless, and well worth having it done.

I'm glad to hear this. I'm hungry all. the. time and it makes me crazy to hear some people say they don't feel hunger, or that a sleeved person shouldn't feel hunger in the first little bit. I'm four weeks out today, and my stomach is growling as I type this.

Oh there's a difference all right! You look good!

You are so beautiful, and now you look so healthy too! Congrats, and thank you for sharing. You are a big encouragement to me since I started at nearly h same weight, and wan to get into my 150's as well. Thank you for giving me hope.

Why should I feel obligated to tell you?
Why should you feel entitled to ask?
It is my choice, not yours, what I elect to explain about my private life.
I don't have "secrets." I have privacy. And that is my right.
I did have someone ask me yesterday why I was not eating the pre-Thanksgiving Breakfast that was served at work. I said it was not on my nutritional plan. They then asked what I was doing to lose weight. I told them that I eat Protein first and exercise. That is truthful. Should I then launch into a detailed disclosure of everything that I did/do and why? Hell no.

Even if we weigh 500+

I seem to be a bit lost here. Would you mind showing what it is you are referring to?

I seriously followed a guy through the city, rolled my window down and screamed at him like a fishwife because he honked at me at a green light. There was a pedestrian so I couldn't go, and I lost my marbles. I've never done that before in my life, and I chose someone in the city to go bat crap crazy on! I'm glad he didn't have a gun, sheesh! I couldn't figure out why I behaved like that, but i forgot about the hormone/fat relationship.

Amazing! You must feel terrific! Congratulations

I was a Dr Pepper and sweet eater before surgery. Since surgery I have found myself eating Peanut Butter, but only peter pan honey roasted smooth. I didnt eat that before surgery. I have also found myself eating potato Soup from Sam's Club it has chives in it. I never eat chives. I have always been a picky eater. Also fish I could eat fish all the time.

I was a dr pepper junkie. And I have gone without for 2 months and 2 weeks exactly. Lord help me. However my current gotta have is Peanut Butter frozen yogurt?! I want some so bad! I think I'm going to work it in one day this week.

you guys are making me feel a whole lot better!!!! I've been DYING for a soda. I'm just at 6wks post op and for sure it's a HUGE no-no...and the other thing that hit me recently...PRINGLES CHIPS!! I'm a chip person, but have moved away from the "chip habit" about 2yrs ago...I'm not a big soda drinker either, but I think it's due to not being able to have it, and my over whelming "need" to belch after eating to rid the GI of excess air...i've not had a sip of soda or not one potato chip (or cheeto cheese puff)
P.S. I would choose PEPSI MAX if I could have soda (or PEPSI NEXT)

I ha e never been a potato chip fan but I have been wanting some for days! Lol

My weird craving has been for nacho chips. I can go years without eating them but suddenly just want to sit and suck on them and chew them into dust.

Actually, yes. I was never a soda drinker before surgery. I never craved the stuff and certainly never bought it. But since my surgery I have craved soda A LOT and I've given in to that craving a few times even though I know it's a big no-no for sleevers.

I started the morning I went in and it was heavy. I've had period issues for a LONG time. I'm done with kids so I ended up having an ablation several months ago. BEST THING EVER. I had a little spotting for a few months after (panty liner stuff) and haven't had anything in a few months now. Woot! Hubby is fixed too so we knew we were done with the kid thing.

Not really, I did eat a cheeseburger 90/10) and 3 tater tots.....so maybe upping my calories? I added Fiber into my diet as well. But I think my body was just adjusting. I've dieted off and on for 10 years, so I think I really did a number on my metabolism!
Also, my husband was off work last night and I definitely burned some calories! haha!
