I eat fast food, a whole lot less than before. Things I think "I want" normally one bite and nope don't want it like before. I never understood picky eaters before. I get it now. It is almost like my throat closes and says nope....not eating it.

I measured everything at first and felt the same way. Honestly like I was a failure and it wasn't going to work. I went to introducing solids and bam just like that I could not even eat weighed out portions. I think that liquids are like the sliders and move right through. Makes the first few weeks disappointing, but when you think about it. Sliding through is a good thing at that point because your tummy is still healing.

I'm one of those that read a lot, but don't comment too often. BUT...I have seen people that do this. I've seen one person talk about having the surgery and going right back to eating the junk food again as you have said. It very well may have been the same person. Imay scheduled for Jan 23, last thing I want to do is come to this site and see people doing that crap. It's ridiculous. When you know you u ate wrong and you are going to continue to do it, why even post about it?!? I don't want to come here and see that crap. I personally liked reading lipsticklady and babbs comments. If you can't handle the real answers, don't post looking for it. It's called putting on your big girl panties and dealing with it!

I guess the same can be said why do you read the post if it upsets you that much? I don't mean to upset you, but I still indulge in fast food. Had some Taco Bell this past week and still lost 5 pounds this week and 210 pounds overall. Many normal sized and healthy people still east fast food from time to time. I have a pretty rigid diet but leaving open the possibility of having a fast food meal once a week and don't have to beat myself up over it. Ultimately, who cares what some stranger on a forum eats?

Goal is 195. Today 216

The chewable ones are one tablet twice daily.

dumping is when you eat too fast or too much. sometimes it can be eating something that you simply can not tolerate 'anymore my biggest problem is eating something sweet.( two or three bites and I begin to feel it and stop immediately so it is not too bad) can last for several min ( mine is usually about 20 min now that I know the signs to watch for when I first start to experience it and stop immediately) even several hours. great pain--sweating--nausea--shaky. some folks vomit but most don't. it is something you just have to ride out. I don't know of anything that will help it. it is one of the tools the pouch has of showing you what it needs or does not need and once you have dumped you will never want to again. prevention is the key. eat slowly chew chew chew follow the rules of eating monitor what you have just eaten and don't eat it again for a while.

Getting your favorite jeans for Christmas. Telling people a size too small so they fit when you actually get them. Then frowning when they fit because you realize in a month they won't anymore

I had the same ?. I'm engaged but he hasn't seen me that way. Honestly not worried about him. He loves me. I am very self conscious though. We are getting married in February and my anxiety grows.

Don't eat. Sip Water. Drink a Protein shake in the car between. The wedding and the reception.
Tell people you have an upset stomach. Don't over think it

When I know I'm going to have trouble finding something to eat, I take a Premier Protein shake with me. Not much fun but it's on program and it keeps me from eating something that may cause me to fail. At 2.5 weeks out, you can't take any chances eating a texture that your Dr. hasn't approved. It's way too dangerous! I was on purred foods at that time, and I primarily stuck to cottage cheese, yogurt and tuna salad. There's no way I could have handled any more texture than that. Good luck tomorrow!

So I love these little things. I went to get in my car this morning for work, after my fiance drove last night. The seat a mile away it seemed. Used to it was all the way back regardless who drove. My surgery left an incision in my belly button, I could not even see. It now sits above my belly button. That's just funny.
You don't realize under garments get bigger as clothes do til you raise your arms and opps...you ladies know what I'm talking about. You find your pants aren't the only thing sliding down. My knee high boots the stretchy back kind, no longer stretch but slide down too. Shoes I've lost a size and a half. My coat could easily fit me and a twin. I have ribs and a collar bone. I can run on the treadmill, not long, but hey I'm running. I no longer crave, soda, even diet. I bought one, yes but almost 2 weeks ago, never even opened it. Bought 14 skinny jeans yesterday. We are talking middle school people. That's how long it's been since this always fat girl has seen a 14 that fit more than one leg. Skinny, don't even get me started on skinny, never had anything labeled skinny in my size that fit.
