  1. I believe it was mostly the Pasta. Low carb. High carb. Whole wheat. It doesn't matter. Pasta lands hard and fast. I didn't eat much at all. But it was too much.
  2. I made the most amazing chicken Parmesan for dinner tonight with spicy marinara and low carb linguini. It was spectacular!!! I kept eating to the point of discomfort, take a break, and eat some more. The portion was minuscule compared to once upon a time, but the behavior is what worries me. It really is my best chicken parm ever. I had to walk around and take deep breaths to keep from sliming and puking.
  3. Why calling it "cheating"? It's a choice. No more. No less. If we lose control of ourselves with these choices, then it's a problem. But it's not cheating.
  4. I agree. That's a big "burden" to put on a 13 year old.

    I'm Afraid of Bread...

    Oddly enough rice doesn't "hurt". I fill up fast, but no pain like Pasta. Pasta lands like a brick, instant discomfort.

    I'm Afraid of Bread...

    I'm trying to think of it as a blessing. I may try the Quest pasta or zucchini pasta.

    Anyone with VSG have MS?

    I developed optic neuritis over a year ago in my right eye. It is an indicator of MS. So far no signs of MS but that possibility and my now increased chance of developing it prompted me to get my weight under control. I knew at 400+ lbs I'd be wheelchair bound in no time if things got bad. I hope I never have to find out, but I'm glad I took control of my situation either way.
  11. Sometimes I actually want to cry when I get full after 4 - 5 bites. I don't even get to get warmed up b4 I burn out.
  12. I believe that may be a myth.

    Fall cravings

    Stews and chili recipes are my favorite now.
  14. Don't leave us so soon after your sleeve. We get worried when you disappear!!! Amanda Rae
  15. I blended mine with ice right away. When I graduated to full liquids I added unsweetened almond milk to my icy blend. The ice allowed me to safely "chew" which helped my head hunger.
