    ForMyfamily got a reaction from O.T.R. sleever in Super Saturday Weigh In   
    Have been on a mini stall all week with no loss. Then got on scale this morning and dropped 2 more pounds from 424 to 422. Go turtle go.

    ForMyfamily reacted to Rootman in Hey Men- How Much Can You Eat One Year Out?   
    In about a month and a half I'll be 2 years out. I can eat a NORMAL portion of food, however that NORMAL portion is just that - what SHOULD be normal. Portion sizes are out of control in the first world countries.
    We eat out at least once a week. Last Friday night we went to a nice Italian restaurant.. The entree I had came with Soup or salad. I had them put the soup in a to-go cup and ate 1/2 the entree as well as a few small pieces of bread in olive oil dipping. We also ordered 2 pieces of tiramisu to GO and I ate 1/2 of it a few hours later. So out of that ONE meal I got THREE, two of which I had with desert.
    I have always drunk with straws. I do not see the issue and I think the "no straw" rule is BS.
    I also drink before, during and after my meals. I eat controlled portions and NO MORE. I have an issue with kidney stones so I MUST drink a LOT of liquids all day. Cutting out 3 to 4 hours of a day without drinking is impractical, especially with my exercise routine of swimming and biking so much.
    I have absolutely ZERO issues with any food. Nothing upsets me and I do not "dump" because of sweets. I pretty much avoid bread and baked goods just because they fill me up too fast. I try to concentrate on Protein but eat carbs to finish the meal out. I feel I keep a good balance. Eating out is when really get too man carbs but it's just one meal a week, or two if you count th leftovers.
    After I eat I feel satisfied and am rarely ever really hungry. When I am hungry it's NOTHING compared to the feelings I USED to have pre-sleeve. Now it just bothers me a bit, it used to feel like my stomach was eating away at my backbone. I tend to get hungry at times like when I rush home after work, hop on my bicycle and ride for 20 miles, by the time I get home I am pretty hungry and ready to eat. I am NOT shaky and weak feeling the way I USED to be pre-op, just ready to eat.
    I weigh 200-205 and have been that weight for about a year now. That's technically still a tad overweight for a 6' 1" male I suspect I carry about 5-10 pounds of excess saggy skin which is damn near impossible to get rid of so that narrows the "overweight" category a bit.
    Getting sleeved is the BEST thing I have ever done for myself health wise. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

    I envy you guys that are doing the right thing and measuring. I confess that I have never measured except a visual estimate. My stomach helped me guage my portions REAL quick. Maybe it's a "man thing" or maybe I'm just stupid but it's like asking for directions for me.

    Bingo!
    Same here, but last Summer went into a fib for 4 months. So went from to strong a heart which was double the normal size to a weak heart now. Lab tests always have shown perfect health just have a bad heart. I even had open heart surgery at 31 where part of the heart muscle was cut out to weaken the heart. Docs said I would be lucky to make 3-4 years. I am now 45 so they don't know squat.

    Ladies there are obese, morbidly obese and then Dang he a biggen! I fell under (Dang!!!) at a starting weight of 505 and am at 455 right now with just about a month of loss. But have just started this long journey and will not give up. Yes I have to hit the onderland mark not once but three times to get back to being me. More to come.
    You all have done great so far!

    Maybe a few Protein Bars. I have picked up a case of Quest bars for our Disney trip. They store well and in a pinch a good for a Meal Replacement. Do not forget a Protein Powder or drinks and a shaker cup. Quick Protein and helps balance a day.

    Margarita's and whiskey sours but the Doc probably would not agree with this liquid diet.
    But seriously I drank about a gallon a day of crystal lite. Mix up the flavors so your taste buds don't get bored. And 2 Protein drinks a day. Then in the evenings I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup as a treat. The headaches went away after a couple of days and the hunger will subside to a point the further along you get.
