chuckwalsh got a reaction from DWentz in Any regrets
No, no regrets I'd do the whole crappy first month over again if I had to. This surgery was the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Hmm.. I guess I have a strong stomach in that sense because I haven't really had any issues like that. But maybe that will change in the future. I'm six months and a week post op.

chuckwalsh got a reaction from FluffyChix in Stage III Tomorrow (soft foods). Please share Favorite Foods, Recipes here.TIA!!!
I found what worked for others didnt usually work for me.. exact food item wise.. figure out what you can live with and start with that. You should have a list from your surgeon.. I think that's basic material we all got.

chuckwalsh got a reaction from Frustr8 in Overeaters Anonymous - Should I go??
One thing I'll say I've found true through that program.. alot less people are staying abstinent than people stay sober/clean through the other fellowships. food isnt something you can get away from.. it has to be dealt with every day. My guess is 3/4 if not more of the people in that room who are obese/overweight are considering or have considered surgery. I was one. Sorry you had a bad experience but ya as I said a second ago big ups on you being open to trying new things.. I think that's really the key to this.

chuckwalsh got a reaction from domi in 1 Year Post Op - What are you eating?
I was very stringent for the first couple months.. then started to allow myself to experiment with different less healthy stuff which in turn kind of had me off track for a few months.. didnt stop losing.. but I went into my dr last Thursday and they said I wasnt fully meeting expectations.. which I sort of knew.. but didnt want to admit it..
after the appointment I've made a drastic change back to a pretty low carb low calorie diet somewhere around 1000 -1300 calories a day.. and cutting out all of the junk foods I was eating.. it's only been 5 days since then but I've seen good results so far.. down 8 1/2 lbs since last Thursday give or take. Oh.. I had surgery on the 22nd of October of last year so it's been almost six months.
Highest weight : 496
Surgery weight : 476
Current weight : 381

Find what works for you. Try to make small changes. If all else fails try using this. It's what I do.. gives me a good idea of what and what not to put in my body.

They read from a bible at an AA meeting? Are you sure? That's not the AA I know. But ya, I've done OA. it's a good program. Instead of sobriety you have abstinence.. for me it was tough to wrap my head around food being a drug.. but I do know people who've really been helped by it. I'm in a 12 step fellowship and can definitely attest to the benefit of having a spiritual (not religious) backing when dealing with life issues. I'd say give it a shot and see if you like it.

chuckwalsh got a reaction from mandmom in Just a quick question
One thing I'd definitely say after a month or so of "eating what I wanted" I wasnt getting the results I was looking for.. it took going into the drs office a week and a half ago to wake me up to what I was doing.. its pretty easy.. at least it was for me.. to fall back into your old ways.. even if the portions are smaller that type of food tends to make me choose unwisely as a whole. I'd consider what you wanted from the surgery and bring it up when you have cravings for things that are pretty obviously taking you a step backwards.. to the exact question.. kielbasa is very fatty and filled with calories I'd consider sausage as a whole worth giving up on completely.
