I was wondering, if your counting calories how many are u eating WITH successful weight loss??? I'm aiming for 809 but almost never get there because I'm never hungry and I haven't even had my first fill yet

well, to be honest... im not counting calories at all. i havent been for some time now. I eat what i want when i want. the thing is, its only a very small amount. (and i mean small)

ive just had my second fill. the first fill was 3ccs and the second was 1cc. im losing weight and its steady . im so glad i dont have to worry about what im eating. i have a very small serve of chips done under the grill if i want to... i have some cheese... i eat some chocolate. i even had a binge( and im not suggesting for one moment that anyone do this) on sugar jubes the other day. that was the day of my fill. normally i dont have sugar and dont crave it. im not proud of that one.I really needed the sugar that day.

The point im making is.... if you eat slowly, chew well, you shouldnt need to be worrying so much about the calories you are having. If you arent eating enough calories then you wont lose weight, thats for sure. the body is very efficient at slipping into starvation mode. i know my body is very efficient at it and ive learned these last few months how to get around it all... some days my calories are about 1300, other days about 1000. i have a general idea of what im eating... but dont count and worry about it. Obviously up to this point its working well for me. I dont know if this would help anyone else out there... i definately dont feel that im dieting at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
