Can you give a sample of ypur meals ..like what you ate etc...Key is three meals a day ...in between i still drink my Protein shakes even though the doc said i could stop...what is an example of your meals...please

I don't take Protein Shakes anymore. They were delicious but I'd rather have my Protein in meals. I am not a make a portion type of person. I'd serve myself some Beans and an egg with ham for Breakfast and have four five lbs. lunch would be a pork chop boneless cut up in pieces and have three small pieces. chicken is my favorite. I also cut it up in squares and have 4 or 5 pieces. The key I think is to get up from the table as soon as you feel full and don't try to fit it all in. When I'm done. I'm done. I don't sit around waiting for space to be available. I weighed almost 400 lbs remember that if you are a heavier person you will lose faster than someone who weighs less. & everybody's different dont be upset with your sleeve let it work in its own.

chicken breast. I cut it up in squares and eat about 4 or 5 pieces. I love chicken. No sides. K like fish too. Ill have a piece of tilapia with lemon and no sides. Everything is cooked with vapor. No oils. No breading. I will have Beans for Breakfast with an egg w ham. Again I don't finish my plate. Ill have four five bites and I'm done. The key is once you feel full get up from the table and continue on your way. Don't concentrate so much on food anymore. I do make sure to have my three meals a day and around the same time. Ill have chicken, fajita, sausage, fish, pork chops, shrimp, Beans, eggs, Cereal, lasagne, corn, fruit, tuna. Ill have a taste of just about anything. Limited of course. You enjoy to savor each bite instead of hogging it all down.

Amy' date=' you're fabulous! Inspiration for all of us. FYI, to the poster who said "Fred Flintstone feet", I have to tell you when I was 26 and working in an all female office, we all took off our shoes to check out our feet for whatever reason and my friend said to me, "Oh my god, Christine, you have Fred Flintstone feet!" and she was right! So I have to LOL at your comment, that was great! Here's to success and continued success...[/quote']

Thank you so much. It's all my friends that I've met during this whole process. We tend to understand each other so much. I was a big girl at one point in my life and that girl has shrunk but on the inside I'm still the same person. I loved me back then. I love me now. One day ill be the thin woman that I didn't care much about but ill have a little something extra me knowing who I once was and knowing that I know what it felt like to be a big woman. To not fit at a booth, to not fit into cool jeans in my 20s, to not feel comfortable at a bar cause I thought everybody was judging me. I will never become that stuck up skinny girl :) I'm Amy everybody likes me because of who I am on the inside :)

Amy, that is so the right way to look at it. Going through a battle makes you see the light.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
