I do that quite a bit now, I just stop eating before I even feel anything and and tell myself if I'm still hungry later I Can eat some more (which has yet to happen). I don't like that tight have to burp feeling

Did you pull something? Twist wrong?

Yay! Glad your doing good.

@@heynowkc It's hard to say since all insurance is different but try not to stress.

@@aayers88 Sorry I don't know an answer for that but does it hurt? You know for future reference lol!

Having the days off with my family. Dinner is good but more than anything I like snuggling up with the hubs and kids in the evening and watching movies!

@@bajagal101 Mine drop in the hospital a couple times and they gave me OJ. Do you even have dumping syndrome? It's not "that" common With gastric sleeve..are you just scared it could happen? If you haven't had it and you need to raise your sugar do it! Chances are you will be fine

Congratulations! Looks lovely!

@@heynowkc Mine took about 8 days

I take Os cal with vitamin D in chewable. You can get it almost anywhere.

@@ELI.p.m Lol! That made me laugh! Not at your pain I'm sorry about that but because that's exactly what I said in the recovery room....add explicit content to that but yep LIARS!! Lol!

@@mcplu28 That's a good question but one that I don't think there is a simple answer for, I would think dedication, diet and exercise may be the issue but then again it may not be. I would just say don't worry about how much everyone else is or is not losing because we are all completely different so you can't base your presumed weight loss off anyone else's anyway. Look for result from your surgeons patients and the plan he/she has set for you. If you follow plan your plan and eat the foods you are suppose to eat and get some exercise in you will lose weight but how Much nobody knows.

@@*Lexie* I am because I can't eat much! Ha! I'm a cheater!

@@RiskyGirl21 I still eat watching tv (sometimes) but I have a permanently reminder in my brain to eat slow and watch the time. I put my fork down between bites...ect TV and eating has not been an issues but I'm always mindful. If you have hard time keeping up with that then I would just shut the TV off or move to a different area away from the TV.

I don't know if it's more of a "realistic" issue as it is a willpower issue. Pre-op is not easy and it does Take some major willpower at times to make it through. Also avoiding food commercials, food images period can help. Out of sight out of mind (hopefully). Hang in there it won't last forever!

I'm forever thankful for my husband who has been nothing but supportive not only of my surgery but of all major aspects in my life. I couldn't have picked a better partner to walk through this life with. God truly knows what he's doing (Thats not to say he cant be a big pain in my keister too....but we won't talk about that)...stay on topic..stay on topic...love him!

@ Hi! I Read your post twice and I guess I just don't get it? You don't like seeing recipes and the finished product or just food in general? Cooking healthy doesn't mean you have to eat bland food. You are choosing to eat bland food? Why? Some of the healthiest natural foods are beautiful and delicious with out adding to them...fruit, vegetables, nice Cuts of meats. Why are you wanting to eat bland boring food? That's odd to me. It's ok to enjoy your food, food is life And it will ALWAYS be a part of your life. Maybe I just didn't understand what you were trying to say which is totally possible don't be so hard on your self! Food doesn't have to be your enemy.

Queen! "Another one bites the dust" for every pound I lose!

@@sofianoemi I only had mine the first two days in the hospital and was sent home with nausea med I never used...do you have some nausea med to take?

Pretty lady

@@ryany3131 Amazing!

@@CheleLynn45 Yay! Congrats! Keep up the good work!

@@JenWith Lol! It is slow going at first! It will get better. If I catch myself eating longer than 30 mins I stop. I'm 3 weeks out and I can eat at a decent speed but just not much...maybe 2oz and I'm good! I still drink my protein drinks, I'm pretty sure that's the only reason why I'm not dragging butt! I have good energy and I take all my vitamins!

@@bangbangbarbie Eat! Drink lots of water! Buy some lead undies (lol). They usually do want you at 40 BMI without co-morbids but it also depends on your insurance co. I've even heard of people putting wrist weights in their bra lol!! Ps that would be cheating....I'm not telling you to cheat

@@shannalynne Congrats on coming this far! Good luck!
