Shaun_na got a reaction from woo woo in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
I was kicked out of the military after 8 years because I continously failed at losing weight. Never mind the comments/looks, being denied promotion though I excelled at everything else...I loved my career and my people and I lost it over a push up.
Also my dad weighs 600lbs. I did not grow up with him. The reasons he is obese can not be the reasons I am obese. All I know is that he is in terrible pain and has to watch life from inside his home. I have to break the cycle.
And lastly, you know that feeling of not wanting to be in your own skin? I felt such physical and emotional discomfort just being me. It all had to change. I'm now 7 wks post op and down 27lbs. I'm looking forward to the future.

Okay everyone!! I want this group to work!!! In order to do so, please spread the word, let's make a group!!!!! I want to be active with the group! Perhaps every week we could pick different areas to meet where we could walk and talk, I am not sure how everyone else feels, but I want to move and be active!! Perhaps a park, or a school with a track? Give me some ideas and let's get moving!!!

Shaun_na reacted to newbeginning77 in Is it odd
I also am 3 1/2 weeks out and I measure out everything because I don't want to ever feel that uncomfortable feeling everyone talks about when they eat too much. I can eat 1/4 c of Beans but still only 1 ounce of chicken and eggs it usually satisfies me so i don't push more. I notice the only time i feel hunger is towards the night.

Shaun_na reacted to Jb1176 in Is it odd
I HAVE to rely on a kitchen scale to weigh EVERY Protein serving. I was told by my doctor NOT to exceed 4 ounces of Protein at any one meal. At seven weeks out (sleeved 4/13/15) I am allowed 1/2 C cooked vegetables ONCE a day and never to be a high carb vegetable like peas. Next week I get to add 1/2 C fresh fruit but not at the same meal as the vegetables.
I feel little restriction as well. I know without the kitchen scale I would eat too much for my eyeball judgement is not very accurate about portion size.

My Dr stated that getting in 3ozs is right about average. But 10 shrimp does seem really high. I don't know what that would translate to ground up, maybe you should grind it up and see.

Shaun_na reacted to Miss Mac in Yikes...did something unthinking
Well, what happened was.......you did not measure out your portion before you started to eat it. I have found that even at 15 1/2 months out, if I do not weigh and measure I can lose my perspective of volume and quantity very quickly.
I have to keep repeating to myself a scientific principle I learned from my father, who was a science and biology teacher. He said that in the lab, you cannot control that which you do not measure. I miss him, but his guidance did not fall on deaf ears. I have had a couple of mishaps like yours and agree. It's over and done before you know what hit you.
