dorsij

Our nutritionist also gave us a small plate, with a diagram of each food group, a plastic baby fork and plastic baby spoon. Last night, I had salmon, 3 oz., could not eat all, remembering stop when you are full, 2 tbsp. of green Beans and tbsp. of boiled potato.

The nutritionist met with us on our first meeting. They gave us recipes and there are lots of options. 3 oz. of Proteins, 2 Tbsp. of veg and 2 tbsp. of carbohydrates. If you Google it , lap band recipes or WLS recipes you can find lots of options. If you chew each bite 32 times, it will be mush when you finish with it.

I have lost 14 since June 30th and 2 this week. Also sleeved 6/30! Very common to have a stall right now. scale will jump soon!

I'm 6w 2d out now. Sleeved June 5th. I can eat pretty much anything now with no issues. The only things I haven't tried are raw veggies, rice, steak and of course bread/pasta. Although I have had toast with tuna or chicken salad on it. I could only eat 1/4 of a piece and it's definitely not something I have every day. I cannot handle Protein Shakes. I literally have a hard time even swallowing them. I'm sure it's a head thing but I just can't get them down except for the Atkins shakes but even those are a chore.
I'm now down 42.5 lbs, exactly the same weight as my five year old. It's amazing to pick her up and think that I had been carrying that weight around every single day. No wonder stairs and getting off the floor was a struggle! I'm soooo happy with my sleeve! This week I bought my first dress from the "regular" side of a store. Not ready to wear in public yet but it fits well! I just hate my legs showing. And all my bras are too big! My hubby is a lil concerned about this. Haha
