moniquea reacted to Stephanie12579 in Stuck
Hang in there and keep making good choices, I know words don't take away the frustration but try to stay focused on how far you've come! You've had a rough year, cut yourself a little slack and the weight will begin dropping again when your body is ready!

I think ONECE in a long while would be ok to do....I think our problems prior to WLS was we 365in a while indulged and that is what got us to where we were....I have also noticed we are all worried about bites whereas in the past it would of been plate fulls...I think we are all doing great....but need to get back to our new normal....just my 2 cents ...

moniquea got a reaction from eso in First Thanksgiving
How did everybody do today? I am 5 months out and I had few to many bites of stuff I shouldn't of ate. I feel bad and feel like I am probably going gain like 10 lbs but I hope not. I didn't over eat in one sitting I just took bites all day on different stuff .I hope my second Thanksgiving I will be stronger.

moniquea reacted to suzzzzz in Thursday will be 6weeks
Weightloss comes from a team effort with our sleeves, so there really isn't an "it" that will work or not work. You have lost a great deal of weight so far. I know we separate pre op from post op loss but our bodies just know it as weightloss. Our bodies are working hard in multiple ways. You will get there.

moniquea reacted to Bufflehead in Logging food
What kinds of things are you eating? If you can give some examples, I am sure people can provide more specific help.
Things that I find helpful: most foods on MyFitnessPal have adjustable serving sizes/types, which will include "100 grams." If I weigh my food (for example, chicken breast) and know that I am eating 40 grams of chicken breast, I use the "100 grams" serving portion and say that I ate .40 of a serving. If I ate 56 grams, it's .56 of the 100 grams serving portion.
If I am using percentages (for example, if 100 grams is not available as a serving size), a lot of the time I use this calculator to help me figure out portion sizes:
http://www.math.com/everyone/calculators/calc_source/percent.htm
The second calculator is really helpful. If I have a tuna packet that has 2.6 ounces, I might weigh out 2 ounces because I don't want to eat the whole thing. The second calculator will tell me that 2 is 76.9% of 2.6, and then I can enter my serving portion of MyFitnessPal as .769 of a tuna packet.
My food scale and the calculator are the two things I use the most to help me calculate serving sizes. Good luck!

moniquea reacted to sean72977 in Frustrated
To give you an idea, I am somewhat of a macho guy and I cried a few times..not me at all....I was like "what is this salty discharge coming out of my eyes" def feeling somewhat better still a ways to go but I know I'll feel good eventually. It's a lot of physical and mental stress.

moniquea got a reaction from Sugary Sweetheart in Pain
I got my sleeve on 6/02/16 I'm 4days out I was wondering if the pain I feel when I get up and sit down is normal . The pain feels like everything is pulling on my right side and that's the side they pulled the stomache out. I'm new to this so don't know if that is normal pain ?
