Hi,

Are you eating healthy since you have had weight loss surgery? I went out for Breakfast this morning with my husband and friends. I almost became ill while sitting there and watching these two men consume LARGE amounts of food and then added more food from a lady who could not eat all hers.

I shared a small amount of my husbands breakfast. My point is that I have learned in the last 3 ½ years that NO ONE needs large amounts of food to survive. It is amazing how small amounts of food will nourish us and we will become much healthier.

Make a point to pay attention to the quality and amount of foods you are eating. Tonight for dinner my husband and I had a small amount of Halibut, we split a Sweet Potato, and we each had a fresh fruit salad with fresh pineapple, and some grapes with vanilla Yogurt drizzled over it. It was simple and I had small amounts. It was also very healthy. I never feel deprived, and I eat well.

You deserve to eat well and healthy. Take time and plan your meals. You family can eat all the same things you eat, but they may make the choice to eat larger amounts of food. Don't try to control them, the only person you can control is YOU. None of this would be possible if I would not have had weight loss surgery with Dr. Aceves. This surgery has changed my entire life.....

I wish you great success with what you are doing.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Well said. My hubby can eat a ton of food. However, I noticed the other night at a restaurant, he ate some salad, Soup, and a little prime rib, ate his veggies and a bit of baked potato. That to me is a ton of food, but a lot less than he has eaten before. I'm so proud of him.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Hi,

Yes, looks like he is learning from watching you eat. The thing that you and I have is that we only have about 15% to 20% of our old stomach. He has his entire stomach, so for him he did really well. It is amazing the amout of food that they serve when you go out to dinner. NO ONE needs that much food, but as a society we think we need to get what we paid for. Look what it has done for us--made us fat and unhealthy. Now we are learning that we really don't need that much food to eat. Congratulations to you and your husband. :tongue2:

Hi,

Awww gee thanks so much. I just want people to know and feel that this is a very do able thing to do, and you can keep the weight off. I know that it was something that I wasn't sure when I started this if I really was going to keep it off.

Thank you so much for sharing. I was sharing your story with him at dinner tonight and also taught him how to get a side of chicken for a really inexpensive cost and make the meal basically high Protein. He was amazed.

I get alot of information from reading your post.
