I hope it's negligence. I am going to have one more talk with her. You're right... Saying no isn't rude. Thank you for reminding me of that. [emoji171] Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been honest with her a couple of times now... It's funny you say that because just a month ago she told me about these bariatric friendly recipes for banana bread and brownies so when she handed me the loaf I got excited and asked if that's what it was and she said nope just regular banana bread. I will try to make suggestions to her as well. Anything will help. I love her endlessly but she does stuff like this sometimes. It wouldn't be AS bad if she didn't know exactly what I was going through and exactly what I need to do. Thank you. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

What does Miralax do? I'm brand new to all of these things such as milk of magnesia and so on. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I dooooo hate it. I bet she would hate me throwing out her food as much as I hate her bringing it. I hadn't thought about bringing it to work. I've only just started working a few weeks ago for the first time in a year so it just didn't dawn on me but I could do that. Thank you!!Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. I definitely have to talk to her again. This is hard enough without something like that. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I definitely love the fish. I eat a lot of salmon, too. I want to try salmon patties. You have some tasty food on your list. Lots of different and bright flavors. I want to try them all Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

That's a GREAT idea! I can't wait to try it!! Thank you [emoji4] Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I eat a lot of turkey. I make turkey burgers, I eat turkey sausage, and deli turkey. Also meatballs... Turkey, beef, or chicken... bite size. 4 of those usually fill me up but sometimes I can't eat all of it. Since I've started eating my meals in halves I've noticed I'm really not as hungry for the second two. I'll make turkey taco meat and mix it with fat free refried beans and a little bit of light sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese... All in a quarter cup together. You can look up a recipe for cauliflower pizza... I'm a pizza lover so this works for me but, again, I can only eat a very small piece. My mom also introduced me to Gerber toddler snacks for when I want a light crunchy salty snack... I like the cheddar poof ones. Maybe not the best of all choices but it's low in calories and carbs. Those are a few ideas. [emoji171] Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

Protein on protein. Why have I not added protein to my eggs yet? Thank you. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am so glad my post helped you. I know I definitely needed the reassurance, too. I think I was driving myself crazy but I feel a lot better now. Congrats on your home workout. I do cardio boxing and Zumba on my Wii. It's definitely not easy at first but it definitely gets easier the longer you keep at it. I'd love to follow your journey and be any support I can be for you. Enjoy your journey and good luck [emoji171] it's so going to be worth every bit of it. We got this [emoji123][emoji109][emoji847] Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

She said the sugar in the orange juice may have been why I got sick. I don't generally drink anything with sugar... Even before surgery. When I asked her about calories she said that for now she's more concerned about protein and that after my 3 month mark we would see where I'm at and revisit. My calories right now are in-between 400-600 most days being right around 500. Unless I eat poorly or drink calories there is no way I can get in much more than that. It is in my guidelines to avoid caloric drinks but I have always enjoyed a glass of oj on occasion so I thought I would try it. Not anymore lol. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I just saw my nutritionist this morning. The one bit of advice that I found particularly helpful for eating too fast is to take half of your meal and leave the other half in the kitchen. After you eat the first half wait 10 minutes and then get the other half. I hope it's some help to someone. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app

I, too, am a fast eater. I was sleeved on May 21 and I still have not been able to stop and then I feel gorged. I feel so guilty and scared afterwards. I actually just talked to my boyfriend about this last night. I cried my eyes out mainly because I'm afraid I've stretched my pouch but also because self control has been so difficult the last week and a half. I called my nutritionist this morning and I'm awaiting a call back. My boyfriend told me that what has happened has happened and that I needed to look to what I can start doing now. He said to start chewing each bite 20-25 times and wait until I feel satisfied and that full should feel good not like I gorged myself. So I've decided to use my mess ups as motivation to do better and look forward. I can do this and so can you. If you have support you should utilize it. It took me a few days to talk about it but it helped so much. Sent from my Z965 using BariatricPal mobile app
