I'm really not going to debate with you... but if you're a scientist you wouldn't have put a news article as a source to prove a point. lol

I'm honestly baffled by this. You ate a small portion of food, that in total probably had 300 calories in it. You are more than two months out and this doesn't sound like it represents any kind of overeating. Just because you are eating healthier doesn't mean that you are limited to only eating healthy things for the rest of your life. The goal is moderation which it sounds like you are doing, don't try to convince yourself that you did anything wrong or that you "cheated." You ate what you wanted and did it in a way that conformed to your weight loss goals, so congrats.
I hear you. But after dieting for a lifetime, I’m paranoid to repeat old habits. “Diet” for a few months, start cheating a little, then bam... full on binge, no diet mode. Although I’ve come so far
Beating my diet mentality, I still have moments:)

I don’t use Protein Shakes on a regular basis. I eat Quest bars a couple times a week because they’re delish!

I’m sleeved 2/6/18. The first month I had to really chew well. But other than that I eat/chew normally. If I eat too fast I feel it. I have no nausea, never vomited . Protein drinks/bars can have 30g or protein . If you incorporate one into your daily regime it’s easier. I basically still like all the same foods. I don’t crave sweets anymore. I think because I have to eat every few hours so I’m never starving. (That used to be when I’d binge on sweets). I don’t have room in my tiny belly for bread, rice, starches and I don’t crave them. By the time i eat protein and veggies or fruit, I’m full. I’ve had a super smooth recovery and feel totally normal now.

You have to live your life. There are going to be ups and downs and mistakes. One mistake is to believe you will never eat tempting foods again in your life. It happens, and you just have to do better the next day. Personally, since i wouldve been able to eat 6 slices of pizza before, I dont feel too bad about eating 1/2 or 1 slice of thin crust every now and then. I eat that one and stop. If i want ice cream, i get frozen yogurt instead.
I saw my therapist today. She basically said the same thing. I had to look at it as a victory since I didn’t go crazy and binge. And to plan better when eating at friends houses!

Thanks for your reply ! Luckily, after a 2 week stall, I’m down 4 pounds! I believe I’m camp B. I want to be. But my OCD brain fights me. I guess a slice of pizza and a couple bites of ice cream are ok on occasion

I was sleeved 2-6 and followed preop thru post op good plan to the T. I’ve only eaten foods that are
Clean and on plan, and only when I’m hungry. Until this weekend. My sons bday party yesterday, I had tiny piece of ice cream cake(4 bites?) and a half slice of
pizza. Then went to a friends house today and had 1 small slice of pizza for dinner(i was starving). I was full and stopped. But now I’m dealing with the “OMG, here we go again” thoughts. Previously, I’m able to sustain a diet for a few months, then it falls apart. Thus far, I’ve found eating appropriately with my sleeve pretty easy. But I have this underlying fear that it won’t last!(therapy tomorrow lol) is it ok to indulge in a few bites of ice cream and a slice and half of pizza so soon?? Ugh

I thought you were supposed to eat every 3 hours so isn’t that normal?

I think so. But I feel like at hour 2 I’m getting hungry by 3 I’m famished. I was wondering if there’s something more sustainable I can eat .

I’m 5 weeks post op and eating solids. All clean Proteins, fruit, veg etc. I eat until I’m comfortably full (550 cals daily approx). I drink all my liquids between meals. But I feel like after an hour I’m starting to get hungry by 2 hours, maybe 3 my stomach is starving! Can anyone recommend something that will make me stay full longer? It’s pretty inconvenient lol

Believe I’ve asked this before. But how many calories is everyone eating at this point? I’m afraid I’m eating too much too soon. Doc said eventually she wants me eating 1100 calories a day.
Sleeved 5 weeks ago. Getting anywhere from 450-600 for now

I’m 5ft and my goal is 130-140. I’ve
Lost weight before and was 115. I was verrry small. Size 2 or 4. But at 46 I don’t want to be that hollowed out looking.

Days. I’ve had workouts that hurt

Took me about six weeks to feel normal again. But I only got in about 400-600 calories for the first six months.
Is that a normal amount of calories at 6 months?

You definitely should cut yourself a break ! You need to heal

Oh wow!! Keep it up that is incredible!!!! How has it felt recently sleeved?
It feels good! I’ve had no issues at all. Hardly any pain. My struggle at the moment is fatigue. But I’m hoping it will subside soon

I think I've had fibromyalgia for many years but was diagnosed approximately 5 years ago. I was working at Walmart and was just exhausted. Not the tiredness that sleep helps. I mean totally exhausted, with muscle pain. My primary doctor diagnosed fibromyalgia. He prescribed Cymbalta around 4 years ago. Cymbalta was approved for Fibromyalgia treatment. Although it did relieve some of the pain, I still suffered from fatigue. November 2017 my doctor started me on Green House Herbal Clinic fibromyalgia Herbal mixture, 7 weeks into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of fatigue, muscle pain,mood swings, or nervousness. Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official website www. greenhouseherbalclinic .com. I am strong again and able to go about daily activities. This Herbal Formula is Incredible!! My life is back.
Where are you from?

I’m eating only good, lean Proteins, veggies, ff dairy, and maybe one Protein Shake a day for a lot of Protein and Vitamins. I have fibromyalgia which causes chronic fatigue. So I definitely I am very sensitive to feeling tired. And get kind of freaked out when I’m exhausted and don’t want to do a thing. It sounds like maybe my calories and foods are OK I just need to give myself a break and be tired for a few more weeks!

I'm 5'0 and 218lbs. I heard that at these figures I will lose much slower.
Does anybody have any experience being short and in the lower 200's?
How fast did you lose? (I know a slower rate is best but realistically with WLS its different)
I'm getting Gastric Sleeve April 2018!!!!!!!!!! Yayy!!!!!!!

I’m about three weeks out and I’m lucky to be able to get five or 600 cal a day in. I am cleared for Proteins and soft vegetables and fruits. I eat until I’m full but then a few hours later I’m hungry again. And I do have a snack in between meals if I need one. Is it normal to not get many calories and at this point? And do you think that could be why am so tired?
Who's from Massachusetts?!
