IM SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 12

me too LOL I added greenfamily004 haha

I LOVE MFP!!!! anyone not using it should check it out. I love that it allows me to keep track of EVERYTHING I put in my mouth' date=' including vitamins (I put them in as snacks haha) you can easily see how much of each nutrient you are getting each day and it makes me feel accountable [/quote']

Sorry... It's 004

I added you guys and look forward to talking with you.

Congrats to all succeeding with their surgery. That being said' date=' I'm so frustrated! 3 weeks post op tomorrow and only down 8 since surgery! Grrrrr. I know everybody looses at different rates but sheesh! 8 lousy pounds? Still have another 75 to loose. Getting protein in, doing my best on the liquid. Very frustrating.[/quote']

I understand and feel the same way.

I can't wait for this stall to break.

Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are high in protein, low in carbs-1/4 c is 9 protein, 4 carbs. I didn't realize we should be getting around 800 calories-I think I need to start counting that too. I started on regular foods Fri & went out to dinner twice-once to Apllebees & once to Carrabas. It didn't bother me at all what everyone else was eating. I shared a meal & had about 3 oz of steak with 4 little shrimp at Applebees & 1.5 oz steak marsala & 1.5 oz chicken bryan at Carrabas & I was quite content. It tasted really good & I was satisifed with the amount. I am also a fast eater & I look at my watch so I know to take 20-30 min. It is hard but it does make a difference. If you are near a Trader Joes or Wholefoods-they have organic chicken sausages that are AWESOME!!!!! What is MFP?

I'm the same 8 fing lbs a few days shy of 3 weeks makes for very good frustration.

I just ate a whole darn boneless skinless chicken breast. Took me 1.5 hours but I was determined. Yum!!!

For those who are on soft foods- I love chicken and I buy frozen boneless skinless- put in crockpot on warm all day with a can of cream of chicken and can of skim milk. Soooo moist and yummy!!!

I eat to fast still and not sure what to do I have little dished spoons forks. I eat my food and 5 or 10 mins all 3oz are gone. It does not hurt no bad gass why do I have to be so slow?

ArtSong-my NUT said it takes 20-30 min for your stomach to signal your brain that it is full. I know it is difficult as I have a thing about my food being hot, not lukewarm or cold when I eat it but I have had to adjust. I take a bite, chew slowly & then put down my fork for a few minutes. Soon enough, it will be habit!!!

That is one of my problems too, I am a speed-eater !! I am trying lots of things, they said to not do anything while you are eating but if I don't watch tv, or read, I start speeding up again so I need some sort of distraction. I live alone so I don't generally have any dinner conversations going on.

Hi all! I was sleeved on Sept 24th and have been on a pretty strict liquid diet. I have been experiencing something like palpatations. My heart is beating fine and then feels like it is going to jump out of my throat. I have never had any heart or blood pressure issues. I was reading that potassium deficiencies can cause this so I read my shakes label and come to find out I am only getting 33% of what I should be getting. Anyone else have experience with this? And yes, I will be seeing my Dr, about it tomorrow.

Hi Kparker

I had that only once but I didnt know it was from potassium, I just thought I was too full as usual. I was sleeved on the 24th but I have now decided to go back on liquids for awhile. I am having too much trouble eating too fast and too much. Guess that teaches me from trying to speed up the process.

How are you doing September sleevers???

Doing great so far! Wouldn't go back to the "old me" for anything in the world. This was the best decision I could have made!

I wouldnt either! Life is worth living now This has been the most powerful experience outside of having my son. Congrats on your weightloss!!

Hi, September last year people.

How are you? I am doing good. Notice that sometimes I want to eat something but no idea what. very hard time to decide
