Food you can easily get down and you don't feel much restriction or any.... like crackers n chocolate mmmmmmmm yummmo lol

I wasn't asked that either.. I am full of tattoos as well lol

dinner was.... asparagus n broccoli fried in butter n garlic
 chicken n beef meatballs (2)
 lunch was - tuna n avocado with spinach n a sprinkle of full fat  cheese
Breakky was - a scrambled egg with cottage cheese
Carbs are very little and only green veggies , milk in tea

So I don't always track what I eat in fact I rarely do. In the beginning ( nearly 14 weeks ago) I was so in tune with what I was having. Gradually that has worn off. The weight was coming off slowly so tracking didn't seem to matter. Then started the bit n pieces of "slider" foods. I had read about this in others stories and would think "oh never would I let myself be like that".... how wrong I was.
The potato chips and small biscuits seem to go down with no issues. I wasn't sick and it didn't fill me up so what was the problem. Peanut paste then started to become a favourite snack straight off the spoon. It's ok it's protein!!.. Icecream was another easy food to go down and it seemed to help my sweet cravings as I was only having a little so what did it matter?..
A bit here and there soon became more and more!!..
Today i decided to track what I had eaten as best I could.. to own what I was doing.. the damage I was doing.
You see like most of us here that decided to get this procedure I have a food addiction. Something that is NOT fixed by having a sleeve. They take some of your stomach not the part of your brain that controls this. I have really no clue how to fix it but maybe the best I can do is to some how control it. That's hard!!..
Nope I didn't have counselling before my sleeve to help me. I honestly thought I could do it alone.
I feel now I am more consumed with "food" then I ever was. What a shit position to be in.
So today I was so over my Carb intake it was terrible. My Protein intake low... and my fats should of been more. If I was counting calories I'd say at 1400 Cals was too much for me.
But from now and into tomorrow and beyond I shall be accountable for what I put into my mouth. Yeah I'll stuff up a little but mostly I shall be on track.
Food addiction is a hard one as we need it to survive and can't get away from it..

Unfortunately I am the opposite we'll sort of.
I felt the heat a lot before surgery and was told after when I lose the weight it will change.. ummmmm no it hasn't!!..
I still hate the summer and any temp over 25 deg celcius. I still perspire a lot as well
It's a bugger

Exactly!!

I'm all good with mince except when it's dry ... omg last week I spent an hour with bad pains in my chest. Won't be doing that again for at least another week lol

I'm not sure as I don't count calories and nor will I ever... honestly don't get into that way of thinking.

What's your eating like?.. I'm 13.5 weeks post op and stalled 3 weeks ago as well. I hate the friggan scales tbh.
I eat a mostly Keto diet and I'm only a few kgs from goal weight although I never had one before I think Ill make one up lol
Increase your fat intake and really look at what carbs your eating they can make a huge difference.
You want to tap into your fat stores and use that as an energy source and not inflate your insulin.
Walk and weights u don't need to any full on bloody cardio as u will stress your body and make cortisol.
Christ honestly who knows I feel like I'm a bloody expert and still I'm stuck as well lol

I had a Hiatus hernia repair with the sleeve and minimizer ring fitted also. I had no clue I even had a hh until post op .
Have had no issues really except if I forget to take my tablets for acids I get reflux which I never had before the sleeve but that could also be because my stomach is producing too much acid stilll due to the brain taking its sweet time telling my stomach it doesn't been to produce so much
But the hiatus repair seems to be ok

I was sleeved Dec 5th and have depression symptoms a day after surgery and I have no friggan clue as to why. .. I suffer from apathetic feelings and emotional numbness which are very similar.
It's shit but I'm positive it will get better .. hang in there u never know what tomorrow may bring x
