I have been going up and down on the same 2 lbs for the last 5 weeks. Im getting about 700- 900 calories per day, 60+ proteins a day, lots of water and just reduced carbs to under 40 . Started hitting the gym 5 days a week (not liking that at all). The only thing I think it might be is that I have a protein bar everyday as a snack but its only 150 calories. I must be a slow loser but thats ok anything is better than nothing. any advice would be great. thanks.

I am a super organised person so that's not a problem. I love healthy foods but when I feel really hungry I eat the bad carbs as that's what I feel will only fill me up (touch the sides lol) . I'm lookin forward to knowing that I can have a piece of fruit and it will be satisfying .. Instead of a whole bag of chips lol

Oh, the chips thing! I remember when I first started BTB had a thread about things like chips in our sleeve (pictures and everything) Do you remember that thread fiddleman? You can eat a whole lot of those no problem! They go down quite easy as a matter of fact... Feel way better on my sleeve than say a piece of chicken!

But I still have to choose not to eat to many.

It's funny because eating things like chips and crap got me here! Not a lousy chicken breast!

Hmmm I was thinking of getting help after - dietitian or physiologist? I don't think I have huge emotional eating problems .. I just love food - happy or sad I eat too much .. I got really mad when I went to a dr who was covering for my dr while away. He said I had a food addiction - I was like whatever - u can't be addicted to food - you need food - that's like saying you're addicted to air or breathing! Lol ... Now I get it

How true, and yes, I remember the post from BTB. I was never a corn nuts person, but post sleeve I am finding I like them a little too much. Maybe it is the crunch or the salt? Do not know. I ate some yesterday for the first time post sleeve and kept eating them without measuring them out. It will be on my Banned food list because they are definitely slider food and one can eat slot of them without feeling full. I have not gotten into chips post sleeve because of all the posts from other members about how much of a slider they are.

Popcorn yummy but a slider! No go for me..

And yes talking to someone and even hashing it out here helps! I talk to a Therapist about it.

I think that if you are reading it here now too,it will better prepare you to know these things going in so you can see them clearly and deal with them more effectively

To confirm a "slider" is a food that does down "too" easily?

Try eating dense protein ie chicken, salmon, shrimp , eggs

Yes sliders are usually crappy food, chips Cookies, popcorn, bad carbs. So as said above, dense Proteins are the things that you will feel the restriction with and stay full longer.
