Thanks Friends, I feel better xxoo

Thanks Babbs!! Its so funny when you think you have it all figured out, and then I realized I really don't have anything figured out!

Hi All, I just had a quick question, I'm about 6 months into my gastric sleeve. I've been getting complacent lately and feeling like I "really have this thing down," I have it!! So I wasn't measuring my food and I realized that I was eating over a cup of food perhaps sometimes a cup and a half. So, no I dont have it! Very far from it. I'm very concerned about this. How much have I stretched my sleeve in doing this? What's weird is I didn't feel overly full. It was dense food so that is concerning. :-( I know that even though we CAN eat more we should NOT eat more. This has been a realization to me that I don't have it down, not at all. I AM STILL learning that I really have to measure because I cannot eyeball it, correctly. Anyone have any similar experience? :-(

Thank you!! No more for me, it was also giving me heartburn again!!! Not sure why :-(

Okay thanks Everyone!!!

Why is bread a no no?

Why no bread?

So my husband brought home a cowboy pizza from Papa Murphys. Oh, and he brought home one of those dessert pizzas too, lol. :-) Normally on Friday or Saturday I do not "cheat" on my plan, I just will normally have some different food choices just so I don't get bored, but I don't be neglect my plan. I figured since my husband brought home pizza I would give it a whirl. I probably had a quarter of the slice of pizza, rarely much at all. I am five and a half months out. I feel like I have just eaten a brick. I know that we're not supposed to eat doughy things 8 weeks after surgery. I know I've read that some people eat pizza now some people don't. However was that a stupid choice for me to have a little bit of pizza? I just decided to have something different tonight vs tomorrow since he brought it home tonight but wasn't thinking that it was a "do not eat" food. I was only thinking the amount of what I was eating. But I feel like I've eaten 8 ounces of food and literally I probably had 3.5 or 4. Thanks

Thanks Everyone Im going to cut some carbos and exercise more. Thank you

Thanks Jamie. Great advice. Your surgery was way before mine, it worries me that I can eat more? Anyone have any advice on this? :-(

Great advice, thank you GenaW828.....also, I didnt think about calcium chews, thank you.

I need some advice on weight loss, my surgery was December 4th 2014 and I have lost 50 pounds. For the past 2 months I have stalled at 180. Initially, when I was losing weight almost every other day, my diet consisted of 3 ounces of food 3 times a day, my diet now consists of four to six ounces of food 3 times a day with fruit infused Water. I had a hysterectomy March 6 so I'm not doing anything other than walking around the house and going up a flight of stairs a few times a day. I am wondering, should I go back to three to four ounces of food 3 times a day with my fruit infused water? I know stalls are normal but is it normal to stall for such a length of time? I think it would be a little difficult for the body to survive on what I did initially which was 3 ounces 3 times a day. But I think I need to do something any advice? I get around a hundred ounces of water per day, and my carbohydrate level is 45 grams and below. I am insulin resistant so my carbos have to remain low, my Protein is high, anywhere between 60 and 80 per day. Sometimes I wonder if I'm eating too much, if I eat yogurt or carbohydrate food I could get in 6 ounces and if I'm not paying attention or measure I probably just a few times since December 4th have gotten over six ounces, if I do pure protein like chicken I definitely can get 6 ounces in. Any advice? Should i re shrink my sleeve? Iam taking a multi-Vitamin, and two Calcium chews per day. Thank you in advance!!! :-) Thanks

My surgury was Dec 4. My meals are anywhere between 5-6 ounces, I wonder if im eating too much?

Hi All!!!! Just checkin in, thought it would be fun to see what a Day in the life of a 4 month sleever looks like!!! Breakfast for me is 6 ounces of yogurt. I eat the Fage yogurt with the fruit on the side. It is a 190 calories and 19 grams of carbs. That might be too many carbs for some people. I then fill up 3 -20 ounce bottles of Water and put 1/4 blueberries/strawberries/pineapple in the water. lunch is 3 ounces of chicken breast, 1 oz veggie with cheese Snack is yogurt or cheese Another 20 ounce water dinner is same as lunch After dinner ill have 2 more 20 ounces of fruit infused water I just had a hysterectomy so I'm not doing any "planned" activity. Although I do go up and down our stairs throughout the day. Also, whenever I go to the store I try to park out in the parking lot far away. I dont wait 30 minutes between food and drink, I need to work on that. I feel like I could be doing more so I welcome any suggestions. Water is 80-100 oz Calories 950-1000 Carbos under 45 Vitamins are: 1 multi, 2 Calcium chews, 1 fish oil. Liver enzymes were above normal. I stopped tylenol now their normal. I am getting major headaces which I hope are just allergies...everything else has been great. Any feedback? Id love to hear what your doing?
