rnymorales reacted to Jill_Me in December bypass buddies
12/8 surgery date here. I ate too much tofu pudding at one time yesterday and the discomfort I experienced had my head spinning. Has anyone else had a bad post meal experience like this? The pain/nausea lasted about 30 minutes and I fell asleep afterward because of the exhaustion. Today I feel like I'm recovering from it.

rnymorales reacted to Alex Brecher in How Do You Monitor Portions?
The right food choices are essential to weight loss surgery success, but the right portion sizes are just as important. Eat too much, and you can stop losing weight or harm your health. The dangers of “too much” are obvious with unhealthy foods – consider eating a hundreds of calories’ worth of brownies in a few bites and getting dumping syndrome soon afterwards – but they are also present with healthy foods.
You can easily get way too many calories from healthy or high-protein, low-carb foods such as Peanut Butter, cheese, avocados, and even Protein Shakes and bars, if you do not regulate portions. The result shows up on the scale. Even with low-calorie foods, eating too much can lead to long-term problems if you train yourself to be full only after large volumes instead of a few ounces as you had right after surgery.
Do you monitor your portion sizes? How? Do you weigh your foods and use measuring cups and spoons to get exact amounts? Do you eyeball it? Do you go by feelings of fullness? Do you use single-serve packages of food whenever possible so you can eat the whole thing? Do you have some foods that you measure and others that you are less strict with? Do you use plates and bowls with a size that you are familiar with so you know how much you can eat?
Share how you keep your portions in check on your weight loss surgery diet!

Get off the scale for the next two to three weeks. During a stall you can see ups and downs daily. When I hit a stall I don't weigh for about two weeks and it helps. Worst thing you can do during a stall is weigh yourself daily. Trust me you'll just feel it one day and you'll know your stall is over. I did and got on the scale and dropped almost 10 pounds.
