Thank you, Chad!

Good information and I need to really focus on staying on track. It worries me how easily I can eat now compared to barely able to eat. It is now up to me!

Putting this on my fridge too. I'm finding that having pre-portioned servings of good stuff keeps me from reaching for the bad stuff.

Not having good Stuff in the house is dangerous for me. I have been packing Snacks with me for work just in case I adverted some famous donuts, too. My coworker scarfed one down in 28 seconds flat.

Do the best you can. I remember back when i used to have donuts i used to eat an old fashion in 10 seconds. I would be satisfied only after 3 or 4. I had this inner carb beast that would surface and devour huge quanties after having 1 of something. I am super glad that this beast has been tamed after the surgery. He may still be there, but now I don't have the urge to have even 1 of anything sweet.

I also remember eating a whole box of donut holes between the store and home on commute home ( about 15 minutes). LI was baaaddd.... Thankfully, I am a new person now that no longer has these food issues.

Chad, my first 2 months post op I didn't leave the house without some healthy snacks in my possession. Or I would put Protein Powder in my shaker bottle so all I had to do was pull over and buy some Water. I just didn't know when those cravings were gonna hit me or how I'd react. Now it's much easier. If I get hungry and I'm out and about I can always pull over and buy a grilled chicken sandwich from anywhere. I eat the chicken and throw the bread away.

If I'm going out for any length of time, I always pack a bottle of Muscle Milk Lite in a cooler bag...along with a couple 20oz bottles of Water. On days when I have class, I pack lunch with me, because my class ends right at noon, and its a long drive home...I eat before heading home, to make sure I don't "crash" on the way (literally and figuratively!). Eating out is no problem...I order lean Protein, and some non-starchy veggies, and take home lots of left-overs! Thanks for the list, Chad...it includes all the guidelines I received from my surgeon! :)

      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! 😞
