chellede

I think it was more taste. It satisfied my taste and just didn't want any more. I'm still learning that "full feeling" Right now I eat too much and get the stuck in the throat feeling.. ugh.
But the pork rind went well !!! Now to log this into my fitness pal ! chellede11 if you want to follow me

@@stephh I got the ability today. So tomorrow I go to the gym
@ - I have an iPhone 6 and it monitors my walking and the health app and my fitness pal all talk to each other. If I log into MFP it will take I walked so far and earned so many calories. As far as devices. I'm waiting for the apple watch with the heart rate monitor. That will go great with my iPhone. Just my preference

@@Peekboo ::: dancing around like a fool ::: I"m so happy for your 20 lbs !!!!! WTG !!! Congratulations !!!
Kathy - call em, ask.. LOL It was weird though. I had one and said.. hmm, okay, I don't want any more.
Papi - I just had one .. waiting to see... seems everything is okay

Peek, I like weighing once a week. I've lost every week - - total of 23 lbs since surgery. I know I'm in the stall and that from day to day I must have had no change or even gain, but I haven't seen it. I'm glad. If had seen all that I would have been very discouraged on a daily basis. Give it a try for a week???

Pork rinds, I want them !!! Anyone try them yet? I know many post op people eat them. My sweet tooth has traded in for a Salty and Hot tooth. I swear if proscuitto wasn't $28 a pound, I would buy that stuff in bulk ! My diet is thin ham and cheese.. and anything I can put hot sauce on. Crazy ! And it's cold here ! I want my love of coffee back ! I can't even stand the smell !
Okay, I'm done with a bariatric babbling for a bit Hope you enjoyed the craziness of Chelle today

Lets cut to the point here (as I say with full compassion). Yup ! You're right ! Any of those things can happen.
The likely hood? Very very remote. Just like going to the store. You can get killed in the car, you can get killed if a rack falls, you can get killed if someone holds up the store, or MILLIONS and MILLIONS of reasons.
Sweetie, your'e normal !!! I was the same. I have lung problems. I had those thoughts. Look at the thousands of people who use this board. They all went through it, and woke up to tell about it. And they are doing well in their weightloss.
YOU GOT THIS ! You are in control of your life and you are doing this for you !!!! Go get em Tiger

I"m doing well thank you !!!!
Susan, check your email.. I tried to add you but it said you were already added...
ME !! ME !! - where are you that you also have Mootopia ??????? That's the best fortified milk ever !!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipes !! It sounds like you are doing fantastic !! So proud of you !
and yeah.. Smoothie King! There's several down the street. I might have to treat myself !!!!!!!

@@stephh Pun intended? hahahahahahaha

Yup ! I'm going to be one of those annoying posts that you want to just roll your eyes and say.. "but no, you don't understand" ....
well, all of us do. It's a phase, and it's just head games. You'll go from thinking you should have never done it, to thinking you never had it done because you feel good, to learning how to eat solid foods.. and man many other phases. Just wait until you get to stalls ! All you can do there, is wait it out.
sending you a big big hug. It's only temporary. Trust us !!!! ::Hugs:::

I'm an October Sleever - the 14th. I just wanted to tell you guys congrats on your surgery dates and Super Super Congrats to the pioneers of your group.. those that have had surgery !!!
Keep doing that liquid pre op, and do not be scared at surgery, it's such a great decision you guys have made !!!
Hugs all around !

Hi @chellede. I'm in Lubbock.

@@Jen - a work in progress ... Someone told me that was it. I searched the web for the nutritional info and it was no where to be found. Has to be it...

Totally!!! =)

@@stephh Pun intended? hahahahahahaha

That's so crappy chellede! I hope you're feeling better today!

Also call them !!!! Most restaurants have nutritional information. Call them and ask them for the nutritional info on what you ate. Then divide it by what you ate of it

It's so funny. I can't tell you how many times I've read about people wondering if they were sleeved. I was one of them too.
Here's another funny (in case you didn't see it on FB)
I'm walking through the grocery store and at least 7 times I'm nervous I'm going to lose my shorts and underwear because they are too big. I kept trying to pull up everything ! Guess it's better than everyone seeing everything Funny !
Things I'm enjoying now...
- String cheese. Sometimes cheese wrapped in a thin slice of procuito (sp)
- Grilled fish with a slice or two of avocado
- Crab. Went out and had crab legs with my husband and best friend. My husband and I had 3 clusters of crab legs. I ate all the small legs and 2 small claws.
- love hummus with a string cheese. That's a great go to snack
- and I love my scrambled egg with a touch of cheese and ketchup.
Why I felt like sharing all that... well that's beyond me LOL. I"m tried.
​Have a great day everyone !!!

Kathy, that sounds good !
This is for everyone.. and just my thoughts. I tend to throw out my thoughts a lot. So if you don't like it, just skip the post ! My feelings will NOT be hurt.
International recipes
Mexican - I have some refried Beans and cheese, and sour cream I want to test. or I"m looking for a new dip. There's a place here that has a very mild creamy jalapeño dip. Maybe i'd add a touch of that instead of the sour cream. That's one of my meals when I'm feeling mexican. Yet, I had that dip on some tilapia and it was awesome.
Italian - The Ricotta bake you see on here. 2 table spoons ricotta, some sauce and a touch of cheese. You can mix and match cheese / sauce here.
Greek - Tzatziki sauce on whatever floats your boat. I tend to like fish with different flavors
Chinese - Tamari or Liquid amino, or coconut amino on pretty much anything to give it that soy sauce taste.
There are tons of healthy different sauces. And you don't need a lot so don't feel guilty about using it. Enough just to give you some flavor !
One thing I'm really enjoying is tracking my food. Every bit of food I put in my mouth. Even Vitamins. You learn so much. And if you have something and it's a little to high for your liking you can cut back on the amount, or cut it out a lot.
Also, if you find something that you are obsessing about. For me, it's my procuitto/cheese sticks. I went through a package in two days. No way ! Even though it's not super bad for me, it's a red flag. I love it too much and need to use it as a treat. This helps get with working on food addictions.
I've been really enjoying going grocery shopping. I am not going to waste my time on foods I don't like or that are bad for me. I wanted some lobster bisque one day, and it was 94% of my daily calories in fat. Oh bullshit, lol. I'm not doing that. I can come up with alternatives. Or I went to the chili. I looked at the nutritional value of all the chili. I went with the turkey chili. I bought one can. That should last me a long time. I haven't tried it yet, but for $1, it's worth it to try it.
For me I have fun at the grocery store (except when my pants are falling off haha). I love reading the labels, seeing what is worth it to me. I also splurge on things that I would have never done before. Example is spaghetti sauce. Before, since I would buy big bottles, I would get the standard prego with meat. Now I"m buying Emerils Gaaaaaahlic. Yeah it's more expensive, but it's a small jar and why not enjoy it !!!!!
Anyways, some of my rants for today !!

Yummy !!!!!!! Thank you !

HAHA Frankentummy ! Love it ! I'll call Monday if I feel it again. I have been eating different things. I'm sure it's just a twinge.

I get that feeling from time to time. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I didn't chew enough or if the texture of the food is too rough or dry.

It's when it hits my sleeve. But it doesn't happen that often. It's like a little sting, then gone. Its happened maybe 3 times or so. Weird ! I see my doctor in January or February .
Sleevie wonder, hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I LOVE YOU SLEEVERS !!!!!!!!

Does anyone ever get a little sting when you eat. It last just a split second and it doesn't happen all the time.
