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:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
