I'm not a "TRUE" SMMC Chica...i'm more of an interloping Chico, so I don't know about the doctor's office stuff, but my dietician, doctor and sundry other office types love that i'm posting, logging, discussing and torturing them with endless questions. Appearently they feel that A. I'm getting a ton of feedback from my own information and B. they can get a clear picture of any issues, mistakes etc by reviewing this info. I would say if your docs are against it, give em a good smack in the back of the head.

Today's Events (thats right...events people, not food)

8:45am: Doctor's office for another fill. Found out I have the VG and I am 8.5cc filled...still no restriction, hopefully this last .5 does the trick. I also found out that I lost 11lbs. So I would like the thank the Chicas...as clearly posting here and reading what you ladies are doing is helping me out A LOT!.

12:30pm: 3 bottles of Water in and 2 jello-o puddings (60 cal Sugar Free Chocolate puddings...yum). No problems eating...but i'm not pushing my luck. I will hold off on non-liquids until Saturday.

7:30pm: I've had 7 bottles of water, and for dinner I had some campbells Soup (broccoli cheese).

9:00pm: I had some Jello-o sugar free pudding.< /p>

When I finally had restriction, I definitely felt it. I took a drnk of Protein Drink and YUP! I felt it sitting there. It wasn't uncomfortable, nothing at all like when someone is stuck, I could just feel the "pressure" of something there. I could probably stand to be more restricted in terms of quantity, because I'm still the one stopping myself from eating more than a bandster portion, not my band, but with as tight as I get when I travel, and already figthing to get the amount of calories I do, I'm just not going to push it right now.

BTW, I'm 2.5 in a 4cc.

Okay girls (and bear:) ).....I don't know why, but I've had a rough band day.....I think it's because I'm tired and my inhibitions were really low today. Here goes:

Breakfast: 80 cal yogurt

AM Snack#1: 4 bites of thinly sliced bagel/ 2 tbsp Peanut Butter

AM Snack#2: 3 pieces of Hershey's Dark chocolate w/Almonds

Lunch: Not counting this because I hurled :cry (it was a small salad, but I made the mistake of yet again trying 2-3 bites of chicken on it)

PM snack #1: 2 small Peanut Butter Cookies

PM Snack #2: 2 bites of carrot cake

Dinner: Tortilla Chips/Queso (for the chiefs game) ....and lots of them...(this is where the majority of my calories came from today)

Total Calories: 1252 with 50 Grams of Protein (and the night is still young)...I'm gonna go lock myself upstairs in the bedroom, far far away from the kitchen.

Fluids: 40 oz Water, plus 16 oz coffee

Exercise: 5.25 miles walked at work:bored

scale isn't moving....but I'm also PMS'ing...(hence the carb attack today).

You are so funny! We would be glad to adopt you:p ....Do you mind me asking your name, where you are from, when you were banded, and stats (like your starting weight etc).....

My curiousity is getting the best of me....or you can remain anonymous and I will just call you bear;)

Hey Robyn - You know I've recently figured out that PMS-ing Carb Attack Connection myself. (I'm a slow learner) BTW 1250 cal isn't bad by my reckoning. OK you could watch your carbs and up that Protein a little but give me a break you can't be expected to keep that up every day! If we were that dedicated why did we need this blankity blank "Tool" called the band.

I also just got off my TOM last Fri/Sat which may have contributed to the weight loss spurt. Not that its ever helped any the previous 11 months.

Well for my food today:

Wendy's Chick Strip (Only 1*) with Ranch Dressing

Protein Bar

Grits w/Butter - One instant package shared w/son.

64oz - Water

Exercize - walked 1 lap behind work and lots of manual labor trying to get things moved out of the office for some new carpet we are getting at work. Pathetic but better than nothing.

*I gave the other 2 chicken strips away - was TOO Full on one. Funny less than a month ago I could have managed all three given 45-60 min to work at it.

Approx - Totals for today 550 cal / 40 protein. HMMM was going to go to bed but know I think I'll go down and have 1/2 an Isopure Protein Drink to get in another 20g. Think that will bump my cal up to 650ish range.

HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF TODAY.

i think its bc i am getting back to low-carb, especially after my sugarfest yesterday. on days i'm getting back to low-carb, i let myself eat as much as i want as many times as i want as long as i don't do carbs. on day 2 or 3 my hunger goes back to normal.

robyn, you won't regret it.

yeah, the way i've always done a low-carb detox is to just eat like hell the first day (not when i'm not hungry... but i am always hungry) and keep switching it up with lots of high-protein Snacks. then i get back to that nice place where i'm not food-obsessed and having powerful cravings all the time. for me, it takes 2-3 days, but i do NOT force myself to go hungry.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
