Getting pretty good as this eyeballing thing!



Recommended Posts

So I'm house sitting for a friend this week. Got here early Saturday and stopped at the grocery store on the way to pick up what I would need. Well, I forgot my food scale at home and had bought a rotisseire chicken. I divided the chicken in the little snack bags I brought into roughly 2oz servings. I'm not that far from my home so I stopped there this morning after the gym. I weighed that bags I had left and out of 4 bags, 2 were exactly 2oz, one was 1.8 and one was 1.6 (I knew this one was a little low. It was the end of the chicken pulling off what I could!)

So I'm feeling pretty confident that when the time comes and I find myself going out to eat that I'll be pretty close if I estimate. :D

After my band 4 yrs ago, I got so good at eyeballing everything I never measured or weighed anything. I just ate till my body told me to stop. Which was very little food.

My dad worked at the Post Office when I was kid. He could balance an envelope in his hand and determine what it would cost, exactly. He was always right. He could tell if you needed another stamp or whatever.

Why did i just tell you that? No clue. I guess I'm pretty chatty today! :wub:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
