Wow! You must be having trouble maintaining weight! That's crazy!

I am only a month out, and I don't feel much restriction at all. I feel like I can eat anything. tomorrow I am moving to stage 3 food. I was ordered by my surgeon to eat a solid yesterday, a steak. It went down fine. I do get the hunger feeling that some people say they dont get... i dunno

It could be acid that is mimicking hunger in your body. Could be....might not be. It's amazing how different we all are.

yes I can eat a cup of chilli but just barely.... its a stretch.. and just because you can doesn't mean you should. And chilli has a lot of carbs because of the of the tomatoes and the beans.

It's a non sugar carb. Eat chili all you want. It's protein loaded. I have

I can do about 1/2 cup of chili and I'm 2 mos out

I can eat things like chili/soup with almost no restriction, I'll just get caught up if I eat too fast.

Oh my weighed and gained 2.5 lbs this past wk. i am FREAKING OUT!!! Guess i shouldnt eat slider foods. I need restriction!! Any suggestions or encouragement would b appreciated!!

FIRST time ive gained since my surgery. So scared i will gain it all back now like in past.. I havent been exercising. Maybe its time..

gains can be caused by many things. too many carbs, salty foods can make you retain water, your period and sometimes our bodies just freak out because of the changes. don't worry too much. just keep an eye on your intake and watch the carbs

Yea just relax..... breath.... Ok everyone does this from time to time. Just take a step back and remember this is a long journey stay away from bread (carbs) when I really want a slider or hamburger I just eat the inside meat and lettuce, tomato it taste the same.

I'm, I eat a small chili from Wendy's 2-3 times a week. If it has hurt me, I haven't noticed.
