Who knew eating healthy tasted so good!



Recommended Posts

Pre-op I thought I must really enjoy food to eat so much lol.... Actually until I was banded and started eating healthy did I truly know what food tastes like. Im not trying to say that cheesy tex-mex or fried food tasted bad. Im saying eating healthy food and really TASTING it. Maybe its that Im actually paying attention to what is actually going on instead of mindlessly eating from boredom,comfort or whatevers. I have become the quite the cook! I look up recipes usually go to pinterest healthy section and see stuff I like by the pics then ingredients and try it. Made some quinoa lime salad, seasoned baked chickpeas, avocado-chicken salad, Califlower crust pizza. Alot of the stuff I cook I didnt even know what it is. Who Knew stuff that is good for you actually taste good and I look forward too. I havent had a fill and honestly I could eat as much as I want but I chose not too and what I do choose I ask myself does this fit in with my Under 1000 calorie goal?

If you're a fan of Pinterest look me up (fight4light) i have a lapband board have compiled quite the list of band friend stuff.

It's weird. I've learned a lot about myself now that I have the band. I love eating healthy. I LOVE substitute foods. Making things look bad and unhealthy but really be good for you. I've also gone semi vegetarian and tolerate more vegetables than I ever did before.

On top of all that, I can tell myself "no" now. I can tell when I'm hungry or just bored at home. It's an amazing feeling and just good to know ill have my happy ending.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
