I Promised I would post the good & day. Yesterday & today hadn't been so good. 3 weeks post op & my body feels good but my mind is in I'm hungry mode. It feels like I've been eating non-stop. Some of it is real hunger & some of it is just my mind. I don't think I've allowed myself to feel hungry at all this weekend. I was craving chocolate so i bought some choc covered raisins. I thought that was a better choice. The bag is empty as of tonight. Yep! So I'm just gonna put it out there & keep it movin.

Honesty with myself is the best policy. I tried tracking my food but it's really hard for me b/c I'm not quite sure how much I'm eating. I might have 2 bits of meat. No clue how to track that...I'm also not sure how many calories I should eat. My doc said to eat until I'm comfortable & stop. He didn't want to complicate the process so advised to work on making the band my friend & not count calories

So the last 2 days have been a eating fest. Small portions but non-stop fullness.

So that's my bad 3 weeks post op...

Hope everyone is doing well

I'm always under too but have lost 19lbs since may 31st. You know what the problem is with any bariatric surgery, it doesn't change your mind!! As an over weight person I always ate when I wasn't hungry, it could've been boredom or any other number of things. This is the issue that I have. I try to set my mind to having a new lifestyle and with that comes good and bad days. Over the weekend I went fof a 3 mile walk and then my husband brought home a pepperoni pizza. I wanted to eat the whole box but instead I cut myself a half of a slice. I really regretted it and felt terrible afterwards but what can u do, we are human. I don't think the half a slice set me back nor do I think the chic coveted raisins set u back either!!! Dont worry we will get there

Worried? About what? I just went through a 2 week plateau myself. And, I was eating 800 calories a day, exercising 7 hours a week and then I went back to 1200 calories a day. Bam, in 3 days I lost 4 lbs. It's so wierd how this works. I"m sure I didn't lose it over three days but sometimes our bodies hold back fluids that make us appear to not be losing.

For some of us, eating 500-800 calories a day works best. I've read others who swear on 1200-1400 a day. I think I fit into the latter. I don't like dieting and 1200 calories fills me up real good. I can live with that for another year.

Ok, that's 1 of the reasons I never logged my food b/c other than oz I don't have a calorie goal & I found it to be confusing. Less confusion for me the better. That's helps alot. Thanks!
