  1. lolnever heard this , woul look funny standing at a restaurant
  2. any kind of sugar free 'jello' I hate the texture so just drank the milk lol
  3. Not all people dont tell because of a 'stigma' some of us are just private people lol i dont share most things with strangers. Only my family know things about me, i dont feel me not telling a stranger will reduce the risk of acceptance for the next person lol but each to their own
  4. Hi what surgery ? I'm 3 months post sleeve. It is a total life change but I'm loving it.
  5. 2 eggs at 6 weeks?? May I ask male or female? So interesting how everyone's capacity's are different.
  6. I eat toppings and a bite of crust. I stop before I'm full though so could fit in more ..
  7. I've had it when I was low carb was yummy. I'm not low carb now so too much fat for me lol
  8. Also relax your a couple of weeks out all this did it not work for me that way . your actually still healing so give your body a chance. And stay positive. I was hearing growling for a while and had painful hunger. Was part of healing. My advice is from my personal experience if you start doubting this early we can feel abit defeated and its hard to stick to the plan if you think its not working lol but you will be fine ! 50lbs down in 3 months and I'm a light weight that's how I know it's working even with a rumbling stomach specially in the morning.
  9. They cut your tummy not your brain. We all crave different food. I still crave bad food. But I don't want to eat it as it makes me feel like crap. Were as I would have eaten it no matter how it made me feel. I have no room for pasta rice and bread my favs but others do. Hunger- some peoples hunger doesnt go away. I'm 3 months post. I feel hunger sometimes but the minute I have a bite the hunger is over. Keep going
  10. this is intresting the eat eat eat, i cant eat if im not hungry anymore lol
  11. what are the drinks please ? great visual- edit i saw your answer is the first 2 water? is this all you drink per day?
  12. Hi, I am in the UK , so know all about milk and jelly, i had the option to do a low carb plan but opted for jelly and milk and got great results, so sorry to hear this, i went private so this couldnt happen , you can do this it will be worth it in the end you have done so well , its so understandable you feel this way , i didnt believe it was going to happen for sure till i woke up. But keep up researching eating plan for after etc etc, you got all your vitamins sorted? use this time to get even more on point than you were.
  13. I am 3 months post, and do not chug, others are able to, but ice makes me drink slower, so does water, any mix of crystal light, warm tea works for me , so keep at it constant sipping with a timer on my phone helped.
  14. im a lw like you did weight just slow down? im 3 months in 48/50lbs down depending on the day, i have 59lbs to lose ( i feel i must of mis calculated as i had 80lbs to lose not long ago , should i expect this slow down now im under the 200s? I thought I was looking at hitting goal (135lbs) maybe in a year and ahalf, but i dont know what the normal pace is for light weights. My doctor wants me to only hit a bmi of 28 so no point asking him haha .
  15. I dont know what issue your having but I am 3 months out and was going to restaurants from when I was cleared to eat normal food at 5 weeks lol. Would you be able to eat like a normal person what normal? i have only been obese then had wls so what is normal. Dont eat to quickly lol so it doesn't get stuck, I get your hungry but what is the rush? The food will not disapear if you are bit more mindfull that will come with time! , I eat normal bites and swollow ( not so much now as i am unwell) but i mean before i was not doing anything special to chew and swollow neither was I instucted to, but if you eat your weighed amount if you do weigh and slow down your fine, when at a restaurant I seperate the food on my plate, and make sure I am watching, as i actually stop before I am full as I do not like that feeling.
  16. I do no excersise, 48lbs down in 3 months, I will add excersise soon but not yet for me . I dont drink plain water, lol crystal light,tea whatever id never drink if i had to drink just water and i used to love it too.
  17. That is amazing, im like omg 100!!!! I had 109 to lose ,now 59lbs to lose, so its unimaginable to me to lose that much so fast, goodjob!
  18. Your doing awsome , i dont excersise, because i was told it can slow weightloss when building muscle but i love to see the scale go down lol but keep my protein up
  19. Hi! aww you did start low your doing amazing!!
  20. I had 3 weeks from consultation to surgery.(Paid Private) All this long waiting, then to wait another whole month, I would not be revved to wait another month But you seem to be really in the game and focused so you may be find waiting longer, I think its such an individual thing, its hard to say what the right thing is lol.
  21. For me : There will always be a reason to wait, but most people are off over chrismass so will give you added time to recover, but if people are waiting so they can eat specific food lol I would be worried. You can eat a christmas dinner in a smaller portion when ever you get to the point of normal meals so I would just go for it
