    2 weeks post op

    I haven't worn a bathing suit in about 4 years. This suit has been packed away since then. It felt really good to see my progress when I put this suit on.

    Hey, all I have scoured the net, groups and cooking site's for a pretty good collection of recipes that we can use during the Pureed and Soft Foods stage.  Enjoy!

  10. Heading into week 3

    Head Hunger and stalling

    Because I was more of a foodie than an emotional eater, I was hoping that the head hunger would be minimum.  But boy did it hit me like a ton of bricks this weekend.  I felt depressed and my first (and hopefully only) sense of regret.  I knew that having my surgery right before the Christmas holiday would be rough, but man this is really rough.  I didn't even realize how much my life with my friends and family revolved around food.  Every event I attended, everyone's home I visited, every gathering centred around food, and I hated that I could not partake.  And don't get me started on TV and advertisements everywhere you turn, It was like I was living in HELL.   My best girlfriends and I have an annual ladies sleepover in which we exchange gifts and catch up on what's going on in each other's lives, and it centred around food and alcohol, which I can not partake. so as they had their Nacho's and various other finger foods, I was there snacking at my yoghurt, or sipping on my protein shake.   I really felt like the odd man out.  And the worst part is I know I only want these things because I can't have them!   

    I also know that around week 3 most people stall. I am 2 weeks and 5 days out and yes I hit the dreaded stall.  I haven't lost any weight in 3 days and actually gained a few oz's over 2 days.  which I know is temporary, but still gives a small blow to the ego.  I know I am not the only person going through this, but it's nice to be able to just let it out.

    December 2018 Sleevers!

    How many pills a day is everyone taking? I am a person who went from taking 2-3 pills a day, to 8 pills a day. This has been a weird transition for me. Anyone else weirded out by this?

    December 2018 Sleevers!

    I am in the pureed stage, but I am still eating to fast and taking to much in at once. I know I am supposed to take 20-30 minutes to eat my 2-3oz, but I take about 10 to 15 minutes. I think it's because I hate cold food. Anyone have any hacks or tips to help me figure out a way to slow down? I tried the baby spoon method, it kind of worked but not really.
