What I have found is my eyes and brain still think I can eat whatever I want. After having this surgery I thought something would change in me, but it hasn't. I still think about food all the time and want to eat what I did before. It's a struggle everyday. I try to stock my house with high protein everything. I went on a website called bariwise and ordered crunchy things that were high in protein, they don't taste the greatest but I get to crunch. I also found something called Moon cheese. it has 4 gm protein no sugar 5gm fat and 70 calories. zero carbs. I made beef jerky which is high in protein. I cook mine so its crunchy and that is an excellent snack I think for me. I try to eat chicken more then anything else as it seems to be the highest in protein.

It's all about willpower and making the changes we need to for ourselves. I am weak to temptation and I will fail at times but I have to pick myself back up. This week is weigh in with my doctor. Its my 3 month visit and I am terrified he is going to tell me I am a failure and he can't help me any longer. (I think I have been watching my 600 pound weight lost show too much) anyway, I haven't lost all that much since my surgery and I wonder if its me or my sleeve. I'm nervous and I gained a pound since yesterday and can't really figure out why.... I wish I could talk to someone about how to control what the mind wants over what the stomach can have. I do not want to stretch my sleeve out and I do not want to gain the weight back....this is a scary journey for me and I pray it will be successful.

I just friended you...but no one on my facebook knows about my surgery..I joined a support group on line calledgastric sleeve and bariatric surgery support group.... it is alot of help for me..its where I get all my support...and answers and help :-)

oh wow.... are you on facebook at all? I am if you want to look me up..however I do not post anything on my facebook. I haven't told anyone I was having surgery because I don't want them to worry about me. I will tell them after the fact one day..... good luck with your surgery...how are you doing on the liquid diet? I was adding fruit to my shakes and I think I was not supposed to do that so I will not do that anymore.! gained 2 ounces yikes..I need to lose not gain!

I have a week to go till surgery..... doing my shakes now....kind of rough start with them but I know I have to do it. Nov. 10th cant's come soon enough
